Abstract

The geological record is never completely available for observation. However, we have to query it – first to suggest or select and then to verify our hypotheses of the geological history, present day, and future of the region in question. So far, this job has been done either intuitively, or on the contrary, by quantitative modeling. Still, the former looks insufficient, especially if the case is contemporary tectonics or other potentially hazardous processes, and the latter gives reliable result only if involves abundant data – and still gives no warranty that is adequate enough to the modeled issue. Therefore, an intermediate solution is desired for regional geology, able to give a reliable result based on available data. The information modeling by means of the event bush method looks promising. In this chapter, the method of event bush is applied to verify the wrench tectonics hypothesis for the neo- and contemporary tectonic regime of the Gulf of Mannar region in the southernmost part of the Hindustan peninsula.
