THE ROLE OF REMOTE SENSING [AERIAL PHOTO-INTERPRETATION] IN THE FIELD OF NATURAL RESOURCES DETECTION & ESTIMATION Arvind Dewangan‚ Associate Professor – Civil Engineering Department‚ HCTM Technical Campus Kaithal‚ Haryana‚ 136027‚ INDIA Email: arvinddewangan237@gmail.com ABSTRACT Many aspects are involved in the interpretation of the lithological units on aerial photographs viz. rock types horizons and delineation of individual beds. If we want to interpret photogeologically in a proper way

ancient erosion‚ recent glaciation has left steep scars‚ U-shaped valleys‚ lakes‚ and moraine deposits. The Park’s oldest rocks were produced when plate movements subjected sea sediments to intense pressure and heat. “The resulting metamorphic rocks (schist and gneiss) are estimated to be 1.8 billion years old. Later‚ large intrusions of hot magma finally cooled about 1.4 million years ago to form a core of crystalline igneous rock (mostly granite).”( NPS) The Rocky Mountain National Park also includes

Called the dung beetle because of its practice of rolling a ball of dung across the ground. The Egyptians observed this behavior and equated it with the ball of the sun being rolled across the sky. They confused this balled food source with the egg sack that the female dung beetle laid and buried in the sand. When the eggs hatched the dung beetles would seem to appear from nowhere‚ making it a symbol of spontaneous creation. In this role it was associated with the sunrise. Khepri was the scarab headed

Green Salamander The Green Salamander is a rare‚ small to medium salamander reaching lengths around 3-5 inches. The scientific name for the green salamander is aneides aenus. The Green Salamander is easily recognized because of the bright green markings on the black background. It has long legs and squared toe tips. The squared toe tips allow climbing to very easy (Waldron). The green salamander is very agile salamander and is able to jump six to ten inches. It is able to crawl

Norton Simon Museum Vishnu is depicted in ways that both easily recognizable‚ and subtle. Sometimes works will even give the impression of Vishnu but are actually other deities or figures. Vishnu is clearly represented in a 10th century brownish-grey schist relief called “Vishnu as Vaikuntha.” This three-headed version of Vishnu‚ shows Vishnu as the boar avatar and man-lion avatar. He holds in his upper hands a lotus flower and conch shell while his lower hands touch the heads of a club-women and wheel-man

GOTTHARD BASE TUNNEL‚ SWITZERLAND 1. INTRODUCTION Currently under construction to stretch a record length of 57 km‚ the Gotthard Base tunnel located in Switzerland spans the north of Europe‚ spanning through the Swiss Alps to the south of Europe. This railway tunnel has been designed to bypass the inefficient route of windy roads and cutting down travel time. The Gotthard Base tunnel consisting of twin tunnels is connected by cross passages at every 325m. The twin tunnels have been constructed

mantle‚ the increasing pressure and temperature conditions cause a reform of the mineralogy of the rock‚ this metamorphism. My surface feature is a greywacke rock and greywacke is semi-metamorphosed. The types of metamorphic rocks are Greywacke‚ Slate‚ Schist‚ Marble and Sandstone. The transition to sedimentary the earth’s surface is always eroding this means rocks are being broken into smaller pieces by weathering of wind‚ water and ice. By erosion and weathering sediments are

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components

Ch. 1 Questions 3.) How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts‚ huge volcanic eruptions‚ or great earthquakes? The principle of uniformitarianism states‚ “The present is the key to the past (Murck‚ B. W.‚ Skinner‚ B. J.‚ Mackenzie‚ D.‚ Visualizing Geology 2008). This means that anything that happens or will happen today‚ most likely has happened in the past. Scottish geologist James Hutton’s observation is that the physical
