This book was released on 2024-09-21 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 PROLOGUE The bathyorthographical map of the Western Peninsular India including areas of Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka shows three distinct features from west to east, viz. Konkan Coastal Belt (KCB), Sahyadri Uplands and main Plateau (Fig. 1.1). These areas are mainly covered by nearly horizontally disposed basaltic lava flows of Deccan Traps of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. The main plateau region is known as Deccan Plateau, which comprises northern Maharashtra plateau and Karnataka plateau. It is bounded by Son-Narmada-Tapi Belt (SONATA) to its north while Konkan Coastal Belt (KCB) to its west, which are seismic belts of western India (Fig.1.2a). The later belt is southerly extension of Cambay rift which is trending NNW-SSE. This region was considered as most stable part of the Indian Peninsular Shield. The earthquakes of Koyna (1967; M, 6.7) and Killari (1993; M, 6.2) of Maharashtra have changed the view that the Deccan Plateau is undeformed and most stable part of the Indian Peninsular Shield. Both of these events are now considered as the result of intra-plate deformation and fall in Stable Continental Region (SCR) category (Rajendran and Rajendran, 2003).

Download or read book Geodynamic Evolution of the Indian Shield Geophysical Aspects written by Om Prakash Pandey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses time-bound geotectonic evolution of the various geological terrains of the Indian continent, on the basis of integrated geophysical studies, like seismic, seismological, gravity, magnetic, magnetotelluric and heat flow, carried out over the past five decades. Further, it discusses elastic and petrophysical properties of the Earth’s crust relevant to geological investigations. The book also shares latest findings on the geodynamic development of the Indian shield and nearby continental margins, including Arabian Sea.

Download or read book The Indian Rivers written by Dhruv Sen Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents geomorphological studies of the major river basins – the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra and their tributaries. Besides major basins, the book explores peninsular rivers and other rivers state-by-state. All types of rivers, i.e. snow-fed, rain-fed and groundwater-fed rivers are explained together in geological framework. Rivers are lifeline and understanding of the rivers, their dynamics, science and socio-economic aspect is very important. However, different sources provide different data base for rivers. But a book which explains all major rivers of a country at a single place was not yet available. This book is the first book of its kind in the world which provides expert opinion on all major rivers of a country like India. This book complements works in these areas for the last two to three decades on major rivers of India by eminent professors and scientists from different universities, IITs and Indian research institutions. The information presented in the book would appeal to a wider readership from students, teachers to researchers and planners engaged in developmental work and also to common people of the society concerned with awareness about rivers.

Download or read book Introduction to Fluvial Processes written by Richard J. Chorley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in this form in 1971, the content of this book was originally part of a larger composite volume ‘Water, Earth and Man’ (1969) which provided a synthesis of hydrology, geomorphology and socio-economic geography. This volume brings together the systematic theme of geomorphology while maintaining a link with the original book which emphasised the benefit of the study of water being considered in the widest sense within the physical and social environments.

Download or read book Tectonic Inheritance in Continental Rifts and Passive Margins written by Achyuta Ayan Misra and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work reviews the mechanism of rifting with a focus on pre-existing tectonic weaknesses in pre-rift and/or basement rocks, i.e., on tectonic inheritance. The passive margins that are studied in this book are the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the Eastern North America and the East and West Indian Continental Margins. The continental rifts that have been analysed are the East African Rift System, the Brazilian Continental Rift Systems and the European Cenozoic Rift System. It states how rifts and passive margins serve as valuable locations for hydrocarbon exploration. Tectonic inheritance/heritage examines the influence of pre-existing/pre-rift elements on the geometry, genesis and propagation of rift-related faults. Such elements include anisotropies in the shallow crustal levels, as well as the rheology of the lithosphere. Inheritance greatly influences the architecture of rifted passive margins including the attitude of faults and geometry of horsts, (half-) grabens, transfer zones etc. Inheritance is also a determining factor in the width of rifts and rift shoulder topography.
