Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal evolution and sedimentation history of the Bay of Bengal since the Cretaceous
TL;DR: In this article, multichannel seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and bathymetric investigations were made along five latitudinal profiles from the eastern shelf of India to the Andaman shelf and four NW-SE profiles in the Western Basin off Madras (seismics on three Latitudinal profiles) in the Bay of Bengal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesozoic anomalies in the Bay of Bengal
M.V. Ramana,R.R. Nair,K.V.L.N.S. Sarma,T. Ramprasad,K. S. Krishna,V. Subrahmanyam,Maria D'Cruz,C. Subrahmanyam,John Paul,A. S. Subrahmanyam,D.V. Chandra Sekhar +10 more
TL;DR: The analysis of 8200 line km of total magnetic intensity data in the Bay of Bengal, northeastern Indian Ocean, revealed the presence of approximately N30°E-trending seafloor spreading type magnetic anomalies as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for seafloor spreading in the Laxmi Basin, northeastern Arabian Sea
G.C. Bhattacharya,A.K. Chaubey,G.P.S. Murty,K. Srinivas,K.V.L.N.S. Sarma,V. Subrahmanyam,K. S. Krishna +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Laxmi Basin magnetic anomaly data from the first time reveal the presence of fairly correlatable NNW-trending magnetic lineations, which are symmetric about a central negative magnetic anomaly and the axis of symmetry coincides with a characteristic shortwavelength free-air gravity low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for multiphase folding of the central Indian Ocean lithosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new analysis of the seismic stratigraphy of the Bengal Fan sediments, which shows that the folding of the oceanic lithosphere was multiphase, with major events occurring in the Miocene (8.0-7.5 Ma), Pliocene (5.0−4.0 Ma), and Pleistocene (0.8 Ma).
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonics of the Ninetyeast Ridge derived from spreading records in adjacent oceanic basins and age constraints of the ridge
K. S. Krishna,Honey Abraham,William W. Sager,Malcolm S. Pringle,Frederick A. Frey,Dasari Gopala Rao,O. V. Levchenko +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and evolution of the Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) was analyzed using geophysical data for the Central Indian and Wharton Basins of the Indian Ocean.
