Abstract

Aravalli craton of Mesoarchean-Paleoproterozoic age, situated in NW part of the Indian shield, forms one the most complicated geologic segment of the Indian peninsular shield, having undergone paleo-subduction, continent-continent collision, multiple folding and active deformation. Geophysically, it is one of the most unusual, somewhat similar to the Singhbhum craton. Considerable amount of geophysical work has thus been carried out over this terrain, to understand its deeper geology. The regional gravity high all along the strike of Aravalli in the Bouguer, Free-air and isostatic gravity anomaly, is marked as one of the most unusual feature of this deformed craton. Regional inhomogeneity beneath Aravalli is also reflected in heat flow which is quite high (58.5 to 96.0 mW/m2) in its northern part, compared to much lower values (32–41.5 mW/m2) in adjacently located Bundelkhand craton. During the Paleoproterozoic period, Bundelkhand cratonic micro-plate started subducting below the Mesoarchean Mewar terrain of the Aravalli craton; the collision between these two blocks was possibly responsible for the development of the Aravalli mountain ranges.
