Active tectonics plays a crucial role in the landscape evolution at decadal to thousand million-year time scale. Datasets examine changes scale are rare Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), which is one of most dynamic areas Himalayan orogenic front. In this paper, we report decadal-scale changes, occurred last 40 years piedmont zone Haridwar – Kotdwar region due an active blind fault IGP. The identification tectono-morphic features IGP difficult comprehend combined effect climatically induced...
Tectonics plays a crucial role in shaping landscape, especially young mountain chains like the Himalayas, where thrusts and faults govern landform features. This study uses morphometric analysis to assess tectonic evolution Haridwar-Kotdwar foothills. The region is bound by E-W trending Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) Himalayan Frontal (HFT) north south, respectively. N-S divide into three segments or blocks with distinct stratigraphic setups. results of reveal that Boksar (BT) Haldu Paro (HPT)...
<p>In this study, we investigate the ongoing crustal deformation in Haridwar-Kotdwar piedmont zone of Northwestern Himalaya, India. The Himalayan mountain front has been actively deforming along Frontal Thrust (HFT) which marks conjunction between Siwalik hills and Indo-Gangetic Plains. We report NNE-SSW trending left lateral strike-slip fault towards west study area namely Haridwar Fault (HF) it offsets HFT sinistrally by ~ 9 Km. Using satellite imagery (Cartosat-1 stereo...
