The Khorat plateau of Thailand a gas province and now being scoped for geostorage of CO2 is a bit of a puzzle: it doesn't look to be participating in the regional collision tectonics of SE Asia. But appearances are deceptive. A look into the subsurface reveals subtle deformation controlled by the presence of much older basin structures. It's a great example of "inversion tectonics". This film is part of a series to accompany the BBC's fourth edition of Race Across the World, hosted on The Shear Zone Channel.
