Discussion

Spatial assessment reveals active deformation in 32 drainage basins, indicating tectonic influence and geomorphic characteristics.

Active deformation is evident in the Zanskar Shear Zone, showing significant spatial variability among drainage basins.
Analysis of high-resolution datasets revealed that 35% of drainage basins are highly active, with 65% classified as moderately active.
Utilizing GIS-based morphometric analyses, we computed key indices to estimate uplift rates and assess geomorphic features.
These findings highlight how the Zanskar Shear Zone influences regional uplift and landscape evolution through ongoing crustal deformation.

Irfan et al. (2025) studied this question.
