Abstract

The article discusses a study which examined the causes of the formation of normal faults at the Leh basin in the Northwest Himalaya. Topics covered results which showed that gravity tectonics is the cause of normal faults in the basin, the difference between the normal faults mapped within the intermontane basins with those that are tectonically driven, and the distribution of lithology, location of major Himalayan faults and the major fluvial streams.
