Abstract

Structural mapping of the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt, the Central Indian Tectonic Zone and the intra-continental Gondwana rift basins was done in order to evaluate their structural geometry and tectonic evolution. This case study shows that structural analysis aided by the interpretation of radar topography (SRTM) elevation data; Landsat imagery and GETECH gravity maps can put important constraints on the structure and evolution of poly-deformed terranes. The approach we applied provides rapid reconnaissance structural investigations, particularly useful for exploration purposes.
