Structural fabric over the seismically active Kachchh rift basin, India: insight from world gravity model 2012

The Kachchh rift basin (KRB), located in the western continental margin of India, is very important due to repeated large magnitude occurrence of intraplate earthquakes. The present study elucidates the subsurface structural features using wavelength filtering, total horizontal derivative (THD) and 2.5 dimensional (2.5D) density modelling of the gravity data. Power spectrum analysis of the gravity data gives the cut-off wavelength of 100 km that...
