  • 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.

  • Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh
    Studia Rosenthaliana (Journal for the Study of Research) ISSN NO: 1781-7838 Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh Gara Raja Rao1, Yamala Vinay Kumar2, Vaggela Asha3, Sanapala Harikrishna3, Mokka Jagannadha Rao4 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 2,3 Research Scholar, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 4 Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. Abstract: The importance of textural characteristics of estuarine sediments in the present study is useful in understanding the intensity of sediment transportation in the fluvial systems. The importance of grain size parameters of the sediments is well recognized in sedimentology and has been well established. The present study illustrates the detailed textural characterization of Nagavali and Vamsadhara estuarine sediments of East Coast of India, Srikakulam, Tamil Nadu. The textural studies reflect that the sediments have significant fractions of fine to medium sand, silt and clay, where fine sand is predominant in both the estuaries. The statistical sedimentary analysis for the samples say mean size, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis is carried out. The sediment is dominantly fine sand with moderately sorted, nearly skewed in Nagavali estuary whereas the sand is very well sorted and nearly symmetrical in Vamsadhara estuarine sediments. The sediments of both are similar in size and show low variance. The present study suggests that the sediments were deposited in low energy conditions. The Nagavali estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical skewness and the Vamsadhara estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical to positive skewness. Negative Skewness was being correlated with high energy and winnowing action and positive Skewness with lower energy levels.

  • Livelihood Status of Selected Slums of Visakhapatnam District, Visakhapatnam
    International Journal of Research in Geography (IJRG) Volume 5, Issue 4, 2019, PP 1-18 ISSN 2454-8685 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-8685.0504001 www.arcjournals.org Livelihood Status of Selected Slums of Visakhapatnam District, Visakhapatnam Mahashina Parvin1*, Moslem Hussain2, Tushar Dakua3 India *Corresponding Author: Mahashina Parvin, India Abstract: Mostly slum dwellers are living below the poverty line; poverty is the worst form of deprivation. 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.

This Cave is fast becoming a hot tourist‟s destination offering great adventurous opportunity to the tourists in the Eastern Ghats. The cave is located in the Ananthagiri hills of the Eastern Ghats region near Visakhapattanam and is made of limestone. The emotion of thrill heightens after entering the cave. The entrance has a narrow vertical opening and is well lit. Due to its location in the sub-equatorial region, dripping of water from the cave roofs occurs almost throughout the year. The formation of stalactites and stalagmites create wonderful phenomena specially found in this cave. The conspicuous pillars formed due to the joining of the roof and the floors are an awe-inspiring creativity of the creator of this world.
