right-lateral strike-slip fault (Fig. Barren and Narcondam are active and now extinct, respectively, volcanic islands that belong to the inner-arc volcanic belt that extends from Java in the east to Burma in the north.

This Memoir provides the first detailed and comprehensive account of geological mapping and research across the island chain and adjacent ocean basins. of the 1000 km long, NNW – SSE-trending West Andaman. Narcondam is unique for the occurrence of the endemic Narcondam Hornbill (Aceros narcondami), which is found only in Narcondam. Barren Island and Narcondam are located just to the east. Baratang Island is an island of the Andaman Islands. The Tentative Lists of States Parties are published by the World Heritage Centre at its website and/or in working documents in order to ensure transparency, access to information and to facilitate harmonization of Tentative Lists at regional and thematic levels.Compared to all the above properties, this is a unique property which is the only home of the IUCN Red listed Narcondam Hornbill (Aceros narcondami) in the world. Barren Island hosts the only active volcano in South Asia and the diving here is unique with many stunning dive sites, pristine coral, larger pelagics including Manta Rays and unique underwater topographies. Chapters examine models of Cenozoic rifting of the Andaman Sea and the regional tectonic and seismogenic framework. The barren island was formed during the 1994-95 eruption when two spatter from the south-eastern and western planks got coned. Rocks exposed across the hundreds of islands that belong to the 800 km long Andaman–Nicobar archipelago provide a condensed window into the active subduction zone that separates the India–Australia plate from the over-riding Burma–Sunda plate. Despite a strategic and seismically active location the Andaman-Nicobar ridge has seen comparatively little research. ; On the other hand, Narcondam is a small volcanic island situated in the Andaman Sea. The boundaries are clearly defined, being an isolated island.Property names are listed in the language in which they have been submitted by the State PartyThe sole responsibility for the content of each Tentative List lies with the State Party concerned. It is a very small habitat for this threatened bird. The boundaries are clearly defined, being an isolated island. Justification of Outstanding Universal Value. The property is an isolated island and is uninhabited except for a security post, and therefore is naturally safeguarded. This Narcondam hornbill has the smallest range among the 31 species of Asian hornbills (Kinnaird and O'Brien 2007). The publication of the Tentative Lists does not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever of the World Heritage Committee or of the World Heritage Centre or of the Secretariat of UNESCO concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its boundaries.The property can be compared to the following Tentative List Sites: Explanation: The entire island rises 2 kilometers above the seafloor and is situated in the Indonesian arc. The active Barren Island volcano and the Pleistocene Narcondam volcano, located ∼140 km to the North, are the only two subaerially exposed Andaman arc volcanoes, which rise from the 1,000 to 2,300 m deep seafloor of the Andaman Sea, and are associated with the subduction of the Indian plate beneath the Burma plate. Administratively, Baratang Island is part of Rangat Taluk. The property has also been notified as Sanctuary under the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 granting is further protection.
The property is managed in accordance with a management plan. There are other volcanoes in the area, the Barren Island volcano which is the only active volcano in South Asia, and the Narcondum volcano which has been classified as a dormant volcano by the Geological Survey of India.
