ResumoThe Lunavada Group of rocks occupies parts of Sabarkantha and Panchmahal districts in Gujarat (India) and have undergone polyphase deformation in the Kadana Formation at NE Gujarat. This study analyzes folds and lineaments to visualize the tectonics using remote sensing images of Santrampur and the surrounding areas. The DEM data was obtained from ASTER and satellite images from Sentinel-2. Analytical technique such as Topographic openness is used to visualize the openness and closeness of the topography. Various hill shades were generated to understand the area from different sun angles, and the best two directions were merged to interpret the lineaments and were latter plotted on a rose diagram. The study uses Google Earth for identifying various fold geometries. With this chapter, we draw attention to structural geologists, the area Santrampur as an excellent place for fieldwork, training and tectonic research.
