In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs'submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Highest Waterfalls in India
    Highest Waterfalls In India Which is the highest waterfall in India? Kunchikal Falls in Shimoga District Karnataka is the highest ​ waterfall in India with the height of 1493 feets. What are the Types of Waterfalls? ● Cataract: A large, powerful waterfall. ● Horsetail: Descending water maintains some contact with bedrock. ● Plunge: Water descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface. ● Block: Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river. ● Multi-step: A series of waterfalls one after another of roughly the same size each with its own sunken plunge pool. ● Segmented: Distinctly separate flows of water form as it descends. ● Cascade: Water descends a series of rock steps. ● Punchbowl: Water descends in a constricted form and then spreads out in a wider pool. ● Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls. ● Fan: Water spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock. The table highlights the list of top 50 highest waterfalls in India, their location, height, and the type or prominence they have.

    DSPMU UNIVERSITY, RANCHI. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY SEMESTER-VI DATE-19/04/2020 FACULTY- Dr. Melvin A. Ekka. PHYSIOGRAPHIC DIVISION OF JHARKHAND The physiographic division of Jharkhand comprises of many divisions and based on geomorphic parameters Jharkhand may be divided into a number of geomorphic domains as follows- Ranchi Plateau This is the largest part of the Chotanagpur Plateau having an average elevation of about 700 meters above MSL. It is bounded by state boundary to the west, Damodar basin to the north, Singhbhum plain in the south and the Subarnrekha and Kharkai rivers in the southeast. The Ranchi plateau is further divided into northern Ranchi and southern Ranchi plateau. The northern Ranchi plateau lies just south of Damodar basin and covers the area of Ranchi and its adjoining areas. It is a gently undulating area having less fertile uplands called Tanrs and more fertile lowlands called Dons. The southern ranchi plateau comprises of south portion of Ranchi district, Simdega and Gumla districts . they are highly rugged areas and hilly with forest areas and small fertile valleys. There are many waterfalls at the edges of Ranchi Plateau where rivers form waterfalls when they descend through the escarpments of the plateau down to the area of significantly lower height. That is the reason the plateau is highly dissected at the edges. Hundru Falls (75m) on Subarnarekha River, Dassam Falls (39m) on Kanchi River and Sadni falls on Sankh River are some of the examples of scarp falls. Hazaribagh Plateau This lies to the north of Ranchi Plateau and is separated by E-W running Damuda valley in which deposition of Gondwana sediments took place.

INTRODUCTION The state of Bihar is situated in the eastern part of India. It has a varied topography viz., himalayan foot-hills, gangetic plains and the plateau of Chhota Nagpur. The ecological niches provide excellent habitats including hill streams as well as permanent and temporary water-bodies, for the breeding of Odonata. Therefore, a fairly large number of species can be seen at these breeding habitats, particularly during pre- and post-monsoon periods. After the publication of the Fauna of British India, Odonata, in 3 volumes by FRASER (1933, 1934 and 1936), no comprehensive work dealing with the Odonata fauna of Bihar is available.

  • Places to Be Visited Around Ranchi
    Jharkhand: Gateway to nature “The Land of Forests” as Jharkhand is famously called, heaven for nature lovers. The unparalleled beauty of the state with majestic hills, scenic waterfalls, rich greenery and colorful culture makes your visit to the land memorable. Thanks to the dominant tribal population, the land preserves nature at its best. It is the perfect destination to land if you are looking for a rendezvous with nature. Here are the top places to visit in Jharkhand-The capital of Jharkhand is rightly called the “City of Waterfalls”. Blessed with the best of nature, Ranchi captivates your soul with authority. It is so rich in mineral resources that it is also called as the ‘Manchester of the East’. Here are the top attractions in Ranchi. Hundru fall Hundru fall is about 45 kms away from Ranchi Town. The Swarnarekha River falls from a height of 320 feet making a wonderful scene known as Hundru falls. At the base of the fall a beautiful pool is formed which allows visitors to take a good bath, but with precautions. During rainy season it takes a formidable form but in summer it turns in to an exciting picnic spot. The diverse shape of the rock adds splendor to the place, which has been shaped from the attrition by the frequent fall of water. The picturesque grandeur of Hundru falls mesmerize the tourists, and fill their hearts with delight. Jonha fall Jonha Falls is 40 kms from Ranchi. Situated at an edge of the Ranchi plateau, the Jonha Falls is an example of a hanging valley falls.

Exclusive Licensee GeoScienceWorld. Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). Curvilinear steep shear zones originate in different tectonic environments. In the Chottanagpur Gneiss Complex (CGC), the steeply dipping, left-lateral and transpressive Early Neoproterozoic Hundru Falls Shear Zone (HFSZ) with predominantly north-down kinematics comprises two domains, e.g., an arcuate NW-striking (in the west) to W-striking (in the east) domain with gently plunging stretching lineation that curves into a W-striking straight-walled domain with down-dip lineation. The basement- piercing HFSZ truncates a carapace of flat-lying amphibolite facies paraschist and granitoid mylonites, and recumbently folded anatectic gneisses. The carapace—inferred to be a midcrustal regional-scale low-angle detachment zone—structurally overlies an older basement of Early Mesoproterozoic anatectic gneisses intruded by Mid-Mesoproterozoic/Early Neoproterozoic granitoids unaffected by the Early Neoproterozoic extensional tectonics. The mean kinematic vorticity values in the steep HFSZ-hosted granitoids computed using the porphyroclast aspect ratio method are 0.74–0.83 and 0.51–0.65 in domains with shallow and steep lineations, respectively.
