Structural study of the Arsikere granite and the surrounding gneisses, has revealed that the former is intrusive into the latter. The planar and linear elements indicate that the granite was emplaced through injection of viscous magma in a north-easterly direction. The possibility that the Arsikere and Banavar granites form cupolas of a single batholith is also indicated.- Evolution of the Western Ghats, India- A Simple Model

The nature of origin of Western Ghats is being debated for several decades. In the light of modern developments in the field of earth sciences, this paper postulates that the western margin of India originated due to a combination of the following factors:
a) Crustal doming and rifting which preceded the drifting of the Indian subcontinent, resulting in an initial escarpment along the western margin of India.
b) Recession of the Ghats to the east due to marine erosion;
c) Withdrawal of the sea during the glacial period exposing part of the continental shelf as a coastal plain.
d) Development of westerly drainage.
e) Fluvial erosion of western ghats and coastal plain, and
f) Gradual post glacial rise in sea level resulting in drowned valleys, estuaries and lagoons.
This model is substantiated by a few evidences and offers a satisfactory explanation for the controversy concerning the origin of western ghats.

Organic matter in sediment layers of two sediment cores from the continental slope off southwest coast of India was dated by radiocarbon method and sedimentation rates were estimated. The age data show lateral and temporal variations in sediment accumulation rates. Sedimentation rates decrease gradually from the inner shelf to the deep-sea in the study area, with an exception at 332 m water depth. The sediment accumulation rates on the shallower continental slope (332 m water depth; 0.003-0.013 mm/yr) are lower than on the deeper slope (776 m water depth; 0.071-0.190 mm/ yr) during the entire period of core deposition (32.8 ka BP to present). The unusually lower sedimentation rates on the shallower slope region may be the result of prevailing adverse depositional conditions. The sedimentation rates were lower during 32.80-18.98 ka BP and 16.04-8.69 ka BP and higher during 18.98- 16.04 ka BP and 8.69 ka BP to present day. The temporal variations in sedimentation rates reflect the changes in detrital input to the sea as a result of variations in intensity of paleomonsoonal conditions.Keywords
