Madagascar's Paleoposition: New Data from the Mozambique Channel
Science.
.
Abstract
The main paleopositions that have been proposed for Madagascar are examined after a recent geological and geophysical survey in the Mozambique Channel. Results from that survey show a north-south ridgelike feature and favor the theory that Madagascar fitted against Somalia rather than against Mozambique to the west.
