A detailed micro-level statistical analysis has brought out the spatial variation in the terrain of Pravara and Mula sub-basins. Principal component analysis has aided in establishing three groups of inter-related variables; and the Factor Analysis has been able to synthesize patterns of six geomorphic variables into a single comprehensive pattern labelled as 'Morphogenetic Regions'. The multivariate analysis has been able to derive equations of high predictive and descriptive value. Such an approach to terrain analysis has been found to be very fruitful than the conventional morphometric analysis.

Abstract


A detailed micro-level statistical analysis has brought out the spatial variation in the terrain of Pravara and Mula sub-basins. Principal component analysis has aided in establishing three groups of inter-related variables; and the Factor Analysis has been able to synthesize patterns of six geomorphic variables into a single comprehensive pattern labelled as 'Morphogenetic Regions'. The multivariate analysis has been able to derive equations of high predictive and descriptive value. Such an approach to terrain analysis has been found to be very fruitful than the conventional morphometric analysis.
