Compression from SW almost at the  same time caused development of curvilinear  longitudinal Ganga and Yamuna faults with convexity  to the SW, which bounds the study area. Newly  developed techniques of remote sensing and GIS are  used to identify terminal fans and normal faults in  the present flat plains. Ten normal faults nearly  normal to the longitudinal faults are identified,  indicating their formation related to extensional  tectonics. Small streams form terminal fans on the  downthrown block of normal faults. GPR studies have  provided a facies model for terminal fans. Thus,  terminal fans have formed by breaks in slopes  caused by faults in contrast to the earlier concept  of the loss of discharge by evapo-transpiration.  The extensional tectonics playing a major role in  shaping the present day landscape in a foreland  basin has been brought out convincingly for the  first time. Reactivation of the basement features  affected surface features in a minor way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838336558\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExtensional tectonics and climate in pedo-gemorphological and sedimentary evolution of the Western  Gangetic Plain, India\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838336558","offer_id":39499087642717,"sku":"9783838336558","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c0e173af-d28c-4828-abe8-f8922dcf58de.jpg?v=1774758939","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/western-himalayan-foreland-basin-india-von-balaji-bhosle-b-parkash-und-v-acharya","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
