摘要

Four Ganga river terraces have been recognized in the Chandidevi Temple Hill in the pilgrim town of Hardwar, in the eastern part of the Dehradun Valley, Northwestern Himalaya, India. These terraces that are close to the Himalayan Frontal Thrust have been formed due to movements along this thrust. Dating of the sediments underlying the upper three terraces gives overall uplift, slip and convergence rates of 6.23 ± 1.29 mm/yr, 12.46 ± 2.58 mm/yr and 10.79 ± 2.23 mm/yr respectively. These rates are similar to those reported from the western part of the valley and are significantly less than those published from Eastern Nepal Himalaya. Differences in results are considered to be due to high rates of convergence and maintenance of the highest relief in the Himalaya, resulting in high sediment loads of rivers in the Nepal Himalaya and high rates of subsidence and narrow width of the adjoining Gangetic Plains. The reverse is true of the NW Himalaya and these differences are considered to be due to thesegmented nature of the Himalaya and the adjoining Gangetic Plains. Also, rates of uplift caused by movements along a thrust in a particular cycle of activity decrease with time.
