Incision rate and pattern of mixed bedrock-alluvial channel dictate landscape evolution in an active tectonic regime. Therefore, the morphotectonic parameters such as stream longitudinal profiles, SL index, hypsometric integral and asymmetric factor helps to calibrate the shear stress model of the mixed bedrock-alluvial model. The study area is a part of the passive continental margin, which is affected by active tectonism. To quantify differences in landscape morphology associated with changes in tectonic conditions, digital elevation models and field data was found to be valid. The study of profile concavity and steepness indices derived from longitudinal profiles of streams dictate significant correlations between tectonic uplift and channel network properties. The results demonstrate that the major rivers in the study area equilibrate themselves with the uplift rate while tributaries are still in a transient state. Spatial distribution of differential uplift rate within the local scale was also derived using these morphotectonic parameters.
