dc.description.abstract	The present work consists of a detailed geophysical study of the structure and isostatic compensation mechanisms of three major aseismic ridges; The Comorin Ridge, The 85°E Ridge and Ninety east Ridge of the northeastern Indian Ocean. Various aspects studied along with crustal structure and isostatic compensation includes elastic plate thickness (Te), demarcate the Continent-Ocean Boundary (COB) and changes in ridge gravity anomaly
