“…The KRB was formed by rifting under an extensional stress regime in the Early Jurassic, followed by a basin inversion phase under a compressional stress regime during the Cenozoic (Biswas, 1993;Maurya et al, 2017aMaurya et al, , 2021aShaikh et al, 2020). This resulted in the formation of the Island Belt Fault (IBF), South Wagad Fault (SWF), Gedi Fault (GF), KMF and Katrol Hill Fault (KHF) (Biswas, 1993;Maurya et al, 2017aMaurya et al, , 2017bMaurya et al, , 2021aMaurya et al, , 2021bTiwari et al, 2021) (Fig. 1a).…”
