Abstract

31Aug 2016 QUATERNARY TECTONICS & GEOMOPRHIC EVOLUTION OF NARMADA VALLY, ITS IMPACT ON TRACING THE REMAINS OF HOMO ERECTUS AND OTHER QUATERNARY FAUNA & FLORA. A.A.Khan and Maria Aziz. Ex.

Highlights

  • The Indian Plate is currently moving northeast at 5 cm/yr (2 in/yr), while the Eurasian Plate is moving northeast at only 2 cm/yr

  • E-W trending crustal discontinuity in the central part of Indian plate.The Quaternary tectonic activity recorded in the Narmada valley possibly,has wider ramifications when viewed in the larger perspective of the Indian plate

  • Significant increase in compressive stresses accumulating on an intracrustal fault like the Narmada-Son Fault (NSF) can transform a previously subsiding basin into an uplifting one
