- Abstract
Fluvial terraces, entrenched stream courses, landslide-induced ponding, and active and stabilized landslide deposits are some of the morphological evidence of late Quaternary seismicity in the Alaknanda Valley around Srinagar, Uttarakhand. We attribute their development to the activity along the North Almora Thrust (NAT) that marks the northern boundary of the study area and its sympathetic E-W and NW-SE trending lineaments. The existing chronological data on the terrace sequence when viewed in conjunction with field data suggest that the NAT and the associated lineaments were active during the late Quaternary period.
