Thrusts interspersed with lateral ramp and wrench structures mark the join between Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt and Archaean cratons of the eastern India. The join, referred to as Terrane Boundary Shear Zone, exhibits an arcuate geometry at the NW margin of the Eastern Ghats where the mobil...
