Abstract EN
Convergence of the Indian plate towards Eurasia is reflected in neotectonics along several zones throughout the Indian plate.
Neotectonics of the upper Narmada river basin following one of the active Son-Narmada Fault (SNF central part) zones in central Peninsular India has been studied through tectonic geomorphometric parameters.
The study area is 175 km wide and 400 km long valley and catchment area of upper Narmada river basin in Madhya Pradesh state.
High resolution ASTER data indicates neotectonic features like sudden changes in drop of Narmada river floor at two locations around Jabalpur formed by conjugate normal faults.
Cross profiles indicate uplift of the entire area by a few hundred meters south of the Son-Narmada south fault.
Basin asymmetry parameter indicates northward shifting of the river course from middle of the basin due to uplift of the southern block.
