Deep Seismic Soundings (DSS) were carried out by the National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, during December 1975-April 1976, along a profile across Koyna. The studies of the data reveal a number of reflection horizons below the Deccan Traps up to the Moho discontinuity. Below the Deccan Traps, the crustal section along this profile is cut into two blocks by a deep fault west of Koyna. The eastern block is further cut by another deep fault which affects only the deeper horizons including Moho. Recent movements along the first of these deep faults, west of Koyna, appear to be responsible for the major Koyna earthquake of 1967 and subsequent seismicity in this region. The Moho depth in the western block is around 40 km in the vicinity of the deep fault and is of about 30 km at the west coast of India. In the eastern block the Moho boundary lies at an average depth of 36 to 38 km.
The thickness of the Deccan Traps along Koyna profile varies from o.4 km in the east to about 1.5 km near the west coast. The velocity in Deccan Traps is found to vary between 4.7 to 4.9 km/sec, and in the Pre-Trap basement it varies between 5.9 to 6.1 km/sec.

Deep Seismic Soundings along Wular lake-Gulmarg-Naoshera profile across Pir Panjal range of the Himalaya have delineated the Srinagar and Jammu synclines, each having a maximum sedimentary thickness of about 18 km. In the Srinagar syncline, the thickness of Karewas (velocity 2.8 km/sec) varies bctween 0.5 km to 1.1 km near Babarishi. Karewas are underlain by Triassic limestones (velocity 4.55 km/sec) having a thickness of 2.0km near Muquam, increasing to 3.6 km south of Sopur. Its thickness decreases to 1.2 km near Babarishi. The third layer with velocity 5.8 km/sec is inferred as Panjal Traps having a thickness of 2.5 to 3.0km. A system of 3 high angle faults is also indicated in the Srinagar valley. In the Jammu syncline, the exposed Murrees and Middle and Lower Siwaliks (velocity 3.8 to 4.6 km/sec) indicate a total thickness of about 3 km near Naoshera overlying the Waishnodevi limestones (velocity 5.8 km/sec). A number of low angle faults have been delineated in the Jammu syncline.
The deeper crustal section is divided into three major blocks bounded by deep faults, the northern block being downfaulted with respect to the southern block. In the southern block, Moho is at a depth of 44km near, Main Boundary Fault, 57km under Pir Panjal range, 51 km under Babarishi. Moho is at a depth of 63 to 69km north of Muquam. Under the Great Himalaya, Moho starts rising from 78 km depth in the deepest part to 67 km under the Nangaparbat shot point.

The crustal structure along Ujjain-Mahan profile reveals a layered structure in the vertical direction and block structure in the lateral direction. This profile from north to south is divided into four crustal blocks: I (Ujjain-Sanwer), II (Indore-Dorwa), III (Dorwa-Tapti) and IV (Tapti-Mahan) which were relatively displaced up or down during different times along deep faults bounding them and extending up to the Moho discontinuity. The depth to Moho varies between 37 to 42 km along the entire length of the profile with a velocity jump of 7.3 to 7.8 km/sec across the boundary. It is concluded that during Precambrian, blocks I and II north of Dorwa were downthrown with respect to block III leading to the development of the Vindhyan basin in that region. Blocks III and IV being uplifted at that time, formed the land part and hence no Vindhyan sedimentation took place there. Subsequently during Gondwana times, reverse tectonic movement resulted in downfaulting of block III where Gondwana sedimentation took place. During this period, blocks I and II formed the land part and hence no Gondwanas were deposited there. A shallow refraction boundary at a depth of 8 to 12 km has also been observed along this profile with a velocity jump from 6.0 to 6.9 km/sec, which may represent the Conrad discontinuity in this region.
In the Ujjain-Dorwa section comprising blocks I and II, under a thin cover of about 100 m of Deccan Traps, there lie Cretaceous Lameta beds (200m thick) and Vindhyan quartzites (lOa m thick) and Bijawars (200 to 300 m thick). Thus the total sedimentary thickness above the crystalline basement is hardly 600metres in this region. On the other hand, the Dora-Mahan section, consisting of blocks III and IV, has a maximum thickness of about 1.7 km Gondwana sediments underlying 400 metres of Deccan Traps. This hidden Gondwana basin is believed to be a northwestward continuation under the Deccan Trap of the exposed Gondwana-Godavari graben.

Deep Continental Reflection Studies along the Nagaur-Jhalawar profile across the Aravalli-Delhi Fold Belt indicate that in most of the units comprising the seismic profile the lower crust (LC) lies towards west of their present surface exposures. Based on the reflectivity characteristics of the LC. which are in general agreement with the globally accepted norms, the Nagaur-Jhalawal profile can be broadly divided into five zones: 1) the moderately reflective Marwar Basin (MB), 2) the highly reflective Delhi Fold Belt (DFB), 3) the poorly reflective Bhilwara Granite Complex (BGC), 4) the highly reflective Hindoli Group (HG) including a thrust zone, and 5) the moderately reflective Vindhyan Basin (VB). The most commonly accepted reasons for high lower crustal reflectively are: 1) presence of free fluids. 2) crustal-scale ductile shear zones and 3) mafic intrusions and underplating with partial melts derived from the upper mantle.
High reflectivity of LC in the ADFB can possibly be assigned to primary lithologic variation in the metamorphic facies layers and Precambrian shear zones that were formed during compressional phase of orogeny. The poor reflectivity of LC in the BGC. comprising the Sandmata and Mangalwar Complexes, may be due to vertically oriented igneous intrusions which have disturbed its lamellar character. The high reflectivity in the thrust zone and LC in the HG suggests that it is due to a totally different composition than that of BGC and may be related to metamorphic layering.

Lithological, gravity, magnetic, and seismic data within 100 Km corridor of the 400 km long seismic reflection profile are compiled to constitute the NW-SE Nagaur-Jhalawar Geotransect. The transect sequentially cuts across the Neo-Proterozoic Marwar Basin (MB) on the northwest, the Palaeo/Mesoproterozoic Delhi Fold Belt (DFB), the middle/late Archaean Bhilwara Gneissic Complex (BGC) and the MesolNeoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic Vindhyan Basin (VB) at the southeast. The BGC and DFB belts show polyphase deformation and metamorphism.
The BGC within the transect, consists of Sandmata Granulite Complex, followed by amphibolite facies Mangalwar Complex and Greenschist facies Hindoli/Sawar groups. The BGC show evidence of crustal reworking at c.3.0 Ga. The DFB is represented by amphibolite facies metavolcanic-metasedimentary shallow marine sequences and is tectonically highly disturbed. The DFB deposits (c. 2.0 - 1.5 Ga.) were subjected to tectonic deformation during Delhi orogeny (c. 1.5 Ga.), which is marked by syntectonic granitic plutonism. Both, the BGC and OFB also appear to have been affected by Neoproterozoic thermal events and granitic plutonism. The Neoproterozoic MB consists of clayevaporite sequences of shallow oscillatory basin deposits.
Seismic, gravitylmagnetic and magneto-telluric techniques could delineate a number of shallow to deep faults, intrusive bodies and a high conductivity zone. The total magnetic intensity shows a regional increase towards southeast. The Bouguer anomaly values show a steep rise of upto 80 mGal towards the boundary of OFB and BGC. Based on the seismic studies, doubling of the crust under the OFB and vertical intrusion of high density material under the BGC are inferred. The upper crust is, in general, transparent in its reflectivity while the lower crustal reflectivity is high in the transect area, except in the BGC and the VB. A thrust boundary, dipping NW, is present at the eastern margin of the BGC and could be traced up to 30 km depth. The Moho is at a depth of 36-38 km under the MB. Multiple Moho reflections are identified in the DFB crust, the deepest being at 45-50 km depth. In some part of the BGC the Moho can not be identified but in parts it is traced at about 50 km depth, with southeast up dip, before becoming subhorizontal at depth of 41-42 km. It becomes shallower to about 30 km depth at the SE end under the VB.
