Abstract

Silica sands of commercial value occur as patches of varied areal extent along the coast near Marakkanam in Tamil Nadu north of Pondicherry. There are many geomorphic features here. A study of these landforms and the deposits is attempted with a view to bring out the possible relationship between the geomorphic features and the deposits.
