Abstract
Five thermal springs under artesian conditions are recorded around Manamelkudi in western areas of Palk Bay. These thermal springs are in association with E-W trending faults. The field data and coastal geomorphic signatures of the area suggest that the E-W trending faults are deep seated, extending to offshore area off Manamelkudi and neotectonically active location of seismographs in the region is recommended in view of the above.
