| Abstract: | The present study has revealed that the NE-SW and WNW-ESE trending sinistral faults are very active along the Tamil Nadu coast and the same have caused considerable slope modifications along the Coleroon and Karungalar rivers which are well -manifested in the land , water and mudflat distribution pattern. Similarly, the progradation of the land in Vedaranniam nose is due to the rise of Pattukottai- Mannargudi area and the time transgressive modifications of the Vedaranniam back water indicates the opening up of the N-S trending Pleistocene-Holocene faults. |
