Tethyan Region

The Tethyan Region refers to an ancient, vast zone that once separated the northern continents from the southern continents, especially during the era when the supercontinent Pangaea was breaking apart. It spans parts of southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, characterized by a complex mix of mountain ranges, deep-sea basins, and sedimentary deposits. This region was a significant site for the formation of many mineral deposits and has a rich geological history involving tectonic collisions, oceanic crust subduction, and continental drift, shaping the current landscape and natural resources of these areas.
