Tectonic inferences from the statistical treatment of the remote sensing lineament fabric data associated with the Great Boundary Fault of Rajasthan,India

A systematic statistical analysis of the lineament fabric data associated with the Great Boundary Fault of Rajasthan provides 26 axes of high density girdles. Further statistical treatment of these isolated axes following the methods of analysis of directional data indicates that the lineament can be classified into genetic categories. The result indicates that the Great Boundary Fault and the Chambal Fault are genetically related and that the majority of the lineaments are the result of the reactivation of the Great Boundary Fault under a southward directed dominant stress field.
