Abstract
Abstract The Maharashtra Coast is part of the central west coast of the tectonically ‘passive’ and ‘divergent’ Western Continental Margin of India. Major tectonic elements that characterize the region are the West Coast Fault and the Panvel Flexure. These features have played a major role in the development of coastal geomorphic features, which have been further modified by marine and fluvial processes. Neotectonism is expressed in associated raised marine terraces. The coastal tract of Maharashtra has been divided in three geomorphic blocks on the basis of the role of tectonic elements and spatial distribution of various geomorphic features.
