Description 176-178
Inversion of magnetic data was carried out on 40 profiles collected across
the continental margin of Visakhapatnam
at a spacing of about 10 km and magnetic basement map for this region is
prepared. The map reveals complex anomalies particularly beneath the inner
shelf with amplitudes reaching as high as 1800nT. These anomalies appear to be
associated with the complex basement structure reported earlier. The
significant features inferred include, (a) a shallow and highly faulted basement,
in the inner shelf; (b) a NE-SW ridge-trough configuration in the mid shelf;
(c) NW-SE trending basement upward off Bhimunipatnam to Kalingapatnam and (d)
N-S trending shallow basement trend off Chilka lake.
