Description The region of Gulf of Kutch was possibly more
an arid zone in the pleistocene, almost approaching
to a desert condition, than what it is at present. The
gulf is believed to be the result of a wide indentation
or subsidence that allowed encroachment of the sea
in the geological past. The whole area is still supposed
to be seismically unstable. The Gulf of Kutch covers
an area of circa 7,350 sq. km with a maximum depth
of 60 m. The tidal range varies from 3.06 to 5.89 m
with an average of 4 m. The intertidal zones are sandy
and muddy or with sandstones of vast expanse and
prolonged exposure.
