Abstract
The article is dedicated to review of structural and evolutionary peculiarities of the southern part of central sector of the Indian ocean. Study is based on analyses of global digital models, distribution of fractures, global and regional lithosphere evolution models and published geological and geophysical data. As a result of study, tectonic regionalization of oceanic crust of the area is presented and main evolution stages of the region are distinguished.
