Abstract
The Gujarat earthquake of 26 January 2001 brought out changes on the land features and ocean parameters. The present paper describes the changes observed on the land surface in the field and also from the satellite data. The results of resistivity soundings in the epicentral region reveal a low resistivity layer especially in the liquefaction sites. These sites are found to be the cause of sinking of the houses, whereas elsewhere the damage pattern was totally different.
