Cyclonic Patterns of India and Its Importance in the Pleotsunami Investigations

Abstract

Frango C. Johnson

Differentiating tsunami deposit from a storms deposit in the stratigraphy is a controversial topic. Similarities in the sedimentary structures and textures are the main reason for this controversy. Therefore, understanding cyclonic patterns and landfall associated with them in a particular geological setting is very useful to avoid controversy. This paper discusses cyclonic patterns and landfall associate with them in the context of pleotsunami investigations in India.
