Abstract
The study of lineament pattern based on IRS-IA sub-scene (P24–R50) and Landsat (P143– R42) data combined with the drainage analysis and field observations, two prominent sets of lineament (NE-SW and NNW-SSE), besides less prominent E-W and N-S trending lineaments of tectonic origin have been observed in parts of Allahabad area. Pervasive and penetrative sub-vertical joint sets parallel to the macroscopic linear structures along with collapse structures possibly of neotectonic origin are also noted in the basement rock exposed to the SSW of Allahabad. The development of various meso- and macroscopic deformed structures, presence of collapse structure in the basement strata and the near orthogonal channel shift of axial rivers provide evidence of basement reactivation in parts of Allahabad area, Ganga plain in space and time.
