Abstract

The study is aimed to provide an insight to the tectonic elements of a morphologically subdued less deformed area like the Punjab plains. A lineament study is performed to uncover the dominant trend in the region and later it is exemplified how this trend plays an important role in the modification of the course of a river. Several drainage anomalies were marked over the region and a morpho-tectonic study was undertaken to show how the tectonic element helps in the formation of one of the anomaly. The study overall elaborates how the drainage anomalies extracted from the image and from the elevation data act as a structural indicator and document different tectonic events.
