The karewas are found mostly to the west of the river Jhelum where these table-lands attain a height of about 380 meters above the level of the Valley. The karewas being in fact the remanants of this lake confirm this view. Thus came into existance the oval but irregular Valley of Kashmir. and the water of the Satisar lake flowed out leaving behind lacustrine mud on the margins of the mountains known as karewas. Once there was such a devastating earthquake that it broke open the mountain wall at Baramulla. Geologists have come to believe that Kashmir Valley was earlier affected by earthquakes. For hundreds of million years Kashmir Valley remained under Tethya sea andthe high sedimentary-rock hills seen in the valley now were once under water.
