The total magnetic intensity map of the area shows that the inner shelf to a depth of 50m is marked by a zone of magnetic closures. The occurrence of offshore orthoamphibolites and the qualitative interpretation of the magnetic map indicate the extension of onshore rocks (or the amphibolites and associated rocks of Precambrian (?) and intrusions of Deccan Trap age) under a thin cover of sediments to the offshore to a depth of about 50 m.
