摘要

Ongole and its surrounding region has been subjected to structural deformation for the past 3000 Ma. An attempt has been made to study the tectonics in and around Ongole region, in particular along the Gundlakamma River and its significance in the offshore region. The lineament and physiographic map (Figure 1 a) indicates presence of NW–SE and NE– SW trending regional faults1–3. Ongole and the adjoining Nizampatnam Bay arecontrolled by several NE–SW trending depressions and ridges (Figure 1 b)4. The region around Ongole is drained by Gundlakamma, Musi, Palem and Manneru rivers. The NW–SE lineaments control the Musi, Palem and Gundlakamma rivers. Since the flow pattern of these rivers shows probable offshore extension, it may be assumed that submerged rivers are also probably controlled by lineaments. The epicentre data (Figure 1 a) shows that most of the earthquakes are concentrated along NW–SE trending lineaments. Ongole and its surrounding areas experienced intermittent seismic activity of moderate magnitude (~5–5.8) earthquakes. The seismic activity is associated with local and regional tectonic disturbances in and around Ongole. Figure 1 a shows clustered epicentre disturbances of earthquakes aligned in NW– SE direction along Gundlakamma River, north of Ongole, which is mostly controlled by a major tectonic lineament. It is essential to study the geophysical signatures in the offshore region of Ongole to ascertain the link between structures on and off the coast; the study provides an input to understand the neo-tectonic activity in this region.
