Vaigai Delta's Dynamic Evolution Reveals Quaternary Sea Level Changes
The Vaigai river delta in Tamil Nadu shows how the land has changed over time due to sea level shifts, river movements, and tectonic activity. By studying satellite images, researchers found unique landforms like beachrocks, abandoned channels, and sand dunes that reveal the delta's dynamic history. These features suggest that the delta evolved during the Quaternary period because of changing sea levels, river paths, and climate conditions.
