Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
The Deccan Trap consisting of multiple layers of solidified flood basalt that contributes 2000m thick succession covering an area of about 518,000 sq. km2 having volume of approximately 5,12,000 sq. km3. These rocks were formed about 60- 68 my ago having an spread of about 1, 50,000 sq. km 2 area which is reduced to its current size by erosion and tectonic activities of continental plate restricted to Western and Central India. Recent evidence shows that the trap erupted over 8,00,000 years spanning the K-T boundary and therefore, may be a contributing factor for the extinction of many flora and fauna including dinosaurs. The Chikhaldara area, consisting a part of district Amravati, is marked by basaltic terrain of Deccan Trap. In the present study, an attempt has been made to interpret various geomorphic processes working in the area shaping present topography. An attempt has also been made on groundwater condition of the area. This study has been performed with the help of modern techniques like remote sensing.
