Abstract: | Multi-channel seismic reflection profiles across the southwest continental margin of India (SWCMI) show presence of westerly
dipping seismic reflectors beneath sedimentary strata along the western flank of the Laccadive Ridge — northernmost part of
the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge system. Velocity structure, seismic character, 2D gravity model and geographic locations of the
dipping reflectors suggest that these reflectors are volcanic in origin, which are interpreted as Seaward Dipping Reflectors
(SDRs). |
