Abstract: This study has been undertaken to determine lateral extent of Basalt Flows occurring at distant places in Deccan Trap region of Maharashtra. The basalt flows are having extensive lateral extent, at many places thick horizontal layers of Basalts are found to be occupying length up to 20 km on the land. As compare to lateral extent, thickness of such flows is less i.e. up to 120m therefore L/T ratio is more and their tops and bottoms are plane and horizontal. Such thick flows having great lateral extent are referred as Compact Basalt flows produced by cooling and consolidation of fluid lava. In this research work Compact Basalt flows exposed in four Hill sections located at distant places from each other have been correlated.
