Geomorphic Evolution of a Landscape in Tectonically Active Area

The book "Geomorphic Evolution of a Landscape in Tectonically Active Area" offers a comprehensive analysis of the geomorphological changes in a tectonically active region, particularly in the hilly landscapes of the Lesser Himalaya and the Siwaliks. It examines how various geomorphological processes influence landforms and the role of tectonics in this context. By identifying two distinct fault systems, the Main Boundary Fault and local faults, the study analyzes the erosion and deposition patterns in the region. The research utilizes digital elevation models (DEM) and GIS techniques to calculate sediment balance and determine the extent to which tectonic activity affects sediment displacement in the Kalagarh River basin. The findings indicate that sediment deposition in different environments is attributed to active tectonics, contributing to a better understanding of the topographical responses in this area.
