GEOMORPHOLOGY Morphology and its relation to structure and Lithology Role of regional scale structure in the evolution of landforms

s Impact of Lithology on the Geomorphology Topography is known to be the function of structure and Lithology How do Structure, Climate, Topography and Vegetation influence rocks in nature Show how signature and Lithology are architect of morphology and Landforms Americn and European views on geosynclines Karst Topography Karst Geomorphic features Repetition and Omission of Strata due to structure and other process Discuss the role of running water on an agent of erosion and deposition. Describe some important geomorphic features produced by these process What kind of mountain are the Himalayas? Discuss how the Himalayas might have originated. Describe the common planar and linear structures found nature. Discuss their genetic significance Topography related to structure and nature of rocks Coastal geomorphology Development of Coastal Landforms Write briefs notes on the following, giving Indian examples wherever possible (i) Guyot (ii)nLandforms of Glaciated Mountains (iii)Significance of Linear and Planar structure (iv) River Piracy (v) Barchans and Loess Lagoons as coral gardness justify Write brief notes on (i) Moraines (ii) Canyons and Gorges (iii) Slump Describe Landforms of Coastal areas (40) Application of Geomorphology in Mineral Prospecting, Civil Engineering, Hydrology and Environmental studies Application of Geomorphology in Mineral Prospecting (20) How does Geomorphology helps in Environmental studies (20) Discuss the role of Geomorphology in Civil Engineering construction activities Role of Geomorphology in Mineral Prospecting Describe the application of Geomorphology in Mineral prospecting and for search of building and construction materials.
