In the exchanges of nuclear weapons China, Russia, India, and Iran, something deeply structural in the planet became unstuck. The Indian Plate, a tectonic plate including the Indian Subcontinent buckled, and crushed upwards into the Eurasian Plate, twisting the Arabian Plate along the way. The impact caused the lower part of the Eurasian plate to crumble from The Caspian Sea, through Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tibet and ending in the South China Sea at Hong Kong. These regions crumbled and were covered by the ocean creating a long band of unstable islands. Tidal Waves scrapped Southeast Asia and Indonesia in miles high waves that broke in the middle of the continent of Australia. The lost of life was over 2 billion people. The water receded but little of civilization remained. | In the exchanges of nuclear weapons China, Russia, India, and Iran, something deeply structural in the planet became unstuck.

The Indian Plate destruction created a tidal wave that struck Antarctica and destroyed Casey Station and crushed the Antarctic Ice sheet. Regions south of India and Australia were destroyed. Regions below South America served as bases for survivors of several southern naves and populations from Argentina and Chile. | The Indian Plate destruction created a tidal wave that struck Antarctica and destroyed Casey Station and crushed the Antarctic Ice sheet.
