Description A study of the lineaments of Goa identified from aerial photographs is presented here. The shapes of histograms representing direction vs total number and direction vs total length have close similarities. The trended data set was treated statistically to obtain the nonlinear pattern in the form of a cosine wave. Three distinct peaks were found at azimuths of 40-45 degrees, 90-95 degrees and 140-145 degrees, which have peak values of 5.85, 6.80 respectively. These three peaks are correlated with three cycles of tectonic activities occurring in this region, the most prominent being in the E-W direction.
