摘要
Since the Precambrian time the Narmada-Son Lineament (NSL) is a zone of weakness and both the northern and southern portions of Narmada-Son Lineament experienced vertical block movements. It is established by the earlier workers that NSL is a sub-crustal feature which is responsible for the deposition and folding of the Vindhyans (Meso-Neoproterozoic) and Gondwanas (Permo-Carboniferous-lower Cretaceous). Recent tectonic activity in the Narmada-Son region is evidenced by high heat flow thermal activity, sulphur springs and seismically the Narmada-Son Lineament region is known to be a significantly disturbed zone. The present study area is the part of Narmada-Son Lineament zone. The drainage geomorphology of the area between Kanahar and Rihand rivers (tributaries of the tectonically controlled Son river) around Renukoot area have been studied aiming to understand active tectonics of the region, integrating detailed analysis of landforms and drainages. Various geomorphic features present in the study area such as incision of valley, aligned drainage, aligned valleys, linear valleys, offset channels, offset ridges and fault scarps demonstrate that the area is undergoing active deformation.
