  • Studies on Coastal Geomorphology Along Visakhapatnam to Bhimunipatnam, East Coast of India M
    J. Ind. Geophys. Union ( October 2012 ) Vol.16, No.4, pp. 179-187 Studies on Coastal Geomorphology along Visakhapatnam to Bhimunipatnam, East Coast of India M. Jagannadha Rao, Greeshma Gireesh A.G., P. Avatharam1, N.C. Anil2 and T. Karuna Karudu Delta Studies Institute, 1Dept of Geology, 2Dept. of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. ABSTRACT An attempt has been made to study and record the diverse coastal geomorphic features along Visakhapatnam – Bhimunipatnam coast. The study area is marked by geomorphic features resulted from various coastal and land ward processes. The geomorphic units under different heads namely, features formed by present day wave action, features formed due to sea level oscillations and features formed by rock and sea water interaction have been presented. The influence of sea level oscillations and land and sea interaction forms a diverse coastal geomorphology along the coast. The details of features such as beach, dune system, inter tidal deposits, red sediments, wave cut platform, marine terrace, sea stack, sea cave, serpent hood structures, promontories, wind gap and natural bridge have been recorded and the formation as well as significance of their occurrence are presented. The coastal geomorphology of the study area clearly established not only the sea level oscillations but also variations in climatic conditions in this part of the coast. INTRODUCTION PHYSIOGRAPHY Coastal geomorphology by definition is the study of The study area is characterized by Eastern Ghat the morphological development and evolution of the mobile belt. This area covered with denudational coast as it acts under the influence of winds, waves, hills of range between 30 to 594m above mean currents and sea level changes.

One who is poor has little or no access to income, employment, education, housing, health and other basic necessities of the life. In fact, it is poverty which forces one to suffer agonies and hardship including social discrimination. Slum areas have substandard houses, high density and congestion overcrowding, in sanitary conditions and absence of basic amenities like drinking water, electricity and fair price shops, etc., the slums environment is responsible for the mental outlook of the dwellers, especially its effects on growing children is most remarkable. Children daily witness scenes of violence, drunkenness and crime. The personal hygiene is poor and is reflected in their clothing and living condition. Due to unhealthy environmental conditions prevailing in the slums, diseases like TB, Cholera, Malaria and Jaundice are common Visakhapatnam slums. The present study collects primary data from the study area and tries to explore the Population characteristics, Housing, Health and Socio-economic characteristics. It was found that most of the facilities are below the average. People are living in a very pathetic situation. The basic needs of people are not fulfilled. Such as Water, Sanitation, Health etc. Keywords: Slum, Population Characteristics, Health, Education, Work, Disease, Drinking water, Sanitation 1.

  • Biota Structure in Relation to Physiography of Rockpools of Visakhapatnam, Middle East Coast of India
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 Biota Structure in Relation to Physiography of Rockpools of Visakhapatnam, Middle East Coast of India Jalaja Kumari Aturu1, Anuradha Uppaluri2 1Department of Marine Biology, Vikrama Simhapuri University, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India 2Department of Zoology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract: Investigations on the physiographical and biological configuration of rockpools located at different places such as Palm Beach, Rushikonda, Bhimunipatnam, Yarada and Gangavaram were carried out during the period May 1996 to February 1997. Rockpools at Visakhapatnam coast are categorized into supra - littoral, mid - littoral and sub- littoral depending on the tidal level. The intertidal region of Visakhapatnam is composed of numerous rockpools of varying dimensions and topographical conditions. The community composition of the rockpools represents the following taxonomic groups such as sponges, coelenterates, isopods, amphipods, crabs, tanaids, gastropods, echinoderms and fishes. A survey has been made on the spatial distribution of macrofauna and macroalgae associated fauna. Both fauna and flora are identified at generic level. During the course of the study the abundance of organisms are recorded for selected pools. The results obtained from the study showed that these environmental conditions gave the specific faunistic features for individual pools. Keywords: Biota, Physiography, Rockpools, Visakhapatnam 1. Introduction Till now there are no studies in the country on the Rock pools are conspicuous ecosystems of the rocky community composition of rockpools. The present intertidal zone which are isolated habitats with well-defined investigation was carried out during the period May 1996 - boundaries.
