Abstract

In this research paper, The GIS and remote sensing data for allowing detection of structural features, such as faults, offers opportunities to improve, mapping and identifying the areas that are likely to be locations of faulting. Faults are weakness zones in the brittle part of the lithosphere, along which the movement can take place in response to an induced stresses. When faults undergo displacement, depending on geological and structural conditions, strain markers could be formed on the fault surface. Computer technology, such as computer-based geographic information system (GIS), supplies a different method for data storage, integration, analysis, and display. The combination of remote sensing and GIS provides an optimum system for various geological investigations such as fault mapping.

Highlights

  • The broadest geomorphic divisions of India are the Peninsular India, the extra-peninsular India and the Indo- Gangetic Plain which are the three broadest tectonic divisions of India

  • Ductile shear zone is found in middle to lower crust and Asthenosphere

  • Study area is lithologically composed of granite, gabrro-norite-basic granulite and mylonite where shear zone is extending NW-SE having more or less parallel boundary

Summary

Introduction

The broadest geomorphic divisions of India are the Peninsular India, the extra-peninsular India and the Indo- Gangetic Plain which are the three broadest tectonic divisions of India. The area is comprised of metamorphic rocks of Delhi Super group. Heron included the met sedimentary rocks and igneous intrusions present in the study area, within in the Delhi System belonging to the Alwar and Ajabgarh series.
