Abstract

Fractal analysis of the spatial disposition (pattern) of lineaments reflects the variation in the degree of tectonic disturbance. In the Lesser Himalayan zone, higher 'D' values obtained over allochthonous blocks (Krol and Garhwal) indicate higher degree of tectonic disturbance compared to the less deformed autochthonous block (Simla) of lower 'D' value.

Keywords

Abstract

Mahanadi Delta is a complex delta formed due to the coalescence of three sub-deltas. The northern portion of the delta i.e. Brahmani-Baitarani river mouth was monitored using IRS-1C LISS-3 satellite data. Barrier-Lagoon type of progradation was brought out by digitally enhancing the satellite data. Density slicing technique was employed to understand the sediment diffusion pattern. This was compared with the standard distribution pattern to understand the nature of dispersal mechanism near the river mouth here.
