Post-Precambrian tectonism in the Delhi—Aravalli belt, Precambrian Indian shield — evidences from LANDSAT images

Multispectral LANDSAT images of the Precambrian shield of Rajasthan, India, indicate rejuvenation of Precambrian lineaments in later geological times. Lineaments in the southern part of the area seem related to the formation of the Cambay graben (Mesozoic) and the Narmada—Son megalineament (late Mesosoic). In addition, there are a few relatively young structural features traversing the Quaternary deposits in the northern part of the belt that could be manifestations of intraplate tectonics of the Himalayan orogeny.
