This note presents multi-beam bathymetry data from the carbonate platform on the outer continental shelf of the northwestern margin of India at water depths between 60 and 90 m. This study analyze effect of underwater bottom current to demarcate various zones from the carbonate platform of outer slope .This study provides evidence on the impact of strong bottom current scouring the upper slope of the platform; these currents act as agents transporting sediments to the lower slope and/or deep sea
