Abstract:
The main objective of the research is to carry out the lithostructural mapping and
construction of a geological cross-section to understand structural deformation. To
achieve this objective, geological mapping of the study area was carried out and major
geological and lithological information was gathered in terms of dip, strike, folds and
faults. All this information was plotted on 1:10,000 scale base map along the traverse and
the contacts and faults extended along the strike. This map was digitized by using ARC
MAP 10.5 software. A geological cross-section was prepared using the kink method to
understand the subsurface structure and geology. The geological map shows the
formation present in the study area ranges from Paleocene to Miocene ages with a major
unconformity and two faults. The geological cross-section reveals the presence of an
overturned anticline fold between two imbricated thrusts of MBT forming a trailing
imbricate fan.
