Khamkar PhD Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, VJTI, Mumbai-400019, Maharashtra, India Sumedh Y. Mhaske Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, VJTI, Mumbai-400019, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Verandha Ghat Section is connecting shield-plateau region with Konkan Coastal Belt (KCB) through Bhor Ghat area. Therefore, it is considered as a lifeline of Bhor (in Pune district) and Mahad (Raigarh District of Konkan), of western Maharashtra corridor. Geologically, this region belongs to Ambenali and Mahabaleshwar – Poladpur formation. The area shows thick flows of the Deccan Trap basalt of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. All the rock flows of this formation, exposed along this highway are in the form of rock cutting along the Pandharpur-Mahad Maharashtra State Highway -70, in the 74 km Ghat section from Bhor (part of Sahyadri Uplands, from Pune district) onwards and before Mahad (part of Konkan Coastal Belt from Raigarh district) of Maharashtra, are highly susceptible for landslide activity. A detailed exploration was carried out on all along the road section started from Bhor city and it extends up to the Varandah village, at the foot hill of Sahyadri, in Konkan region. In the present context, detailed investigations of the mass movement were carried out to prepare the map of highly vulnerable locations, in the study area.

  • Geography of India
    VISION IAS GENERAL STUDIES MAINS STUDY MATERIAL GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA PART I 1 www.visionias.wordpress.com India- Physiography India can be divided into four physical divisions. They are: 1) The Northern Mountains 2) The North Indian Plain 3) The Peninsular Plateau 4) The Coastal regions and Islands 2 www.visionias.wordpress.com 1. THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS: The Himalayan mountains form the northern mountain region of India. They are the highest mountain ranges in the world. They have the highest peaks, deep valleys, glaciers etc. These mountain ranges start from Pamir Knot in the west and extend up to Purvanchal in the east. They extend over 2,500 km. They have been formed during different stages of continental drift of the Gondwanaland mass. There are three parallel ranges in the Himalayas. They are (a) The Greater Himalayas or Himadri, (b) The Lesser Himalayas or Himachal and (c) The Outer Himalayas or Siwaliks. 2. NORTH INDIAN PLAIN: The North Indian plain is also called the Gangetic plain. The total area of this plain is about 6,52,000 sq. km. This plain is situated between the Himalayan Mountains in the north and the Peninsular plateau in the south and is formed by the alluvium brought down by the rivers. The plain is very fertile and agriculture is the main occupation of the people. Many perennial rivers flow across the plain. Since the land is almost flat, it is very easy to construct irrigation canals and have inland navigation. It has excellent roads and railways, which are helpful for the establishment of many industries.

Geography and the Early Settlement of India 13.1 Introduction In Unit 2, you explored the world of the ancient Egyptians, the Hebrews, and the people of Kush. In this unit, you will learn about the civilization of ancient India. India is a subcontinent of Asia. If you look at a map of India, you can see that it is attached to the continent of Asia, but surrounded ori three sides by water. The first walled towns appeared on the Indian subcontinent in about 2500 B.C.E. Over the next 2,000 years, a unique civilization developed in India. According to an ancient Indian story, a river god and goddess once lived in the snow-covered Himalayas, a mountain range north of the valleys. One day, they decided to race down the mountains to the plains below. The goddess sped straight down and won the race. But her joy soon turned to worry. Where was the river god? The river god had slowed down to admire the snowcapped mountains and the rich brown earth in the valleys.

(2014): Genus Bryum Hedw. in Peninsular India. Frahmia 4:1- 11. The present study is aimed mainly to document the diversity of genus Bryum Hedw. in Peninsular India. During the revision of the genus 26 taxa are distributed in four states (Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu) and one union territory (Goa) of Western Ghats, whereas 8 species reported from 3 states (Andhra Pradesh, parts of Odisha and Tamil Nadu) of Eastern Ghats. Bryum tuberosum Mohamed & Damanhuri is reported for the first time from Shimoga district of Karnataka and B. wightii Mitt. from Munnar (Idukki district) of Kerala. 1. Introduction The geography of South Indian region encompasses two maountain ranges i.e. the Western and Eastern Ghats and a plateau heartland of which Western Ghats itself is a biodiversity hotspot. The region covers an area of about 635780 square km i.e. 19.31% of the total area of India. The region comprises the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and some parts of Odisha as well as union territories of Goa, Lakshadweep and Puducherry. This region is bounded by the Arabian Sea in the west, Indian Ocean in the south and Bay of Bangal in the east. The Western Ghats constitute a mountaineous range along the western side of India which are not true mountains, but are the faulted edge of the Deccan Plateau.

    Sixth Semester Geography Notes (Unit-I) by Dr Rafiq Ahmad Hajam (Deptt. of Geography GDC Boys Anantnag) Cell No. 9797127509 GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA The word geography was coined by Eratosthenes, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, in 3rd century B.C. For his contribution in the discipline, he is regarded as the father of Geography. Location: India as a country, a part of earth‟s surface, is located in the Northern-Eastern Hemispheres between 80 4 N and 370 6 N latitudes and 680 7 E and 970 25 E longitudes. If the islands are taken into consideration, the southern extent goes up to 60 45 N. In India, Tropic of Cancer (230 30 N latitude) passes through eight states namely (from west to east) Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram. Time: the 820 30E longitude is taken as the Indian Standard Time meridian as it passes through middle (Allahabad) of the country. It is equal to 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. Same longitude is used by Nepal and Sri Lanka. Size and Shape: India is the 7th largest country in the world with an area of 3287263 sq. km (32.87 lakh sq. km=3.287 million sq. km), after Russia, Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Australia. It constitutes 0.64% of the total geographical area of the world and 2.4% of the total land surface area of the world. The area of India is 20 times that of Britain and almost equal to the area of Europe excluding Russia. Rajasthan (342000 sq.

The present paper deals with eight terricolous mosses from five families, collected during various exploratory visits to different locations of area under studies. Funaria hygrometrica Hedw., Gymnostomiella vernicosa (Hook) Fleisch, Bryum coronatum Schwaegr, Bryum argenteum Hedw., Bartramidula roylei(Hook.)B. S. G., Hyophila involute (Hook.)Jaeg., semibarbula orientalis (Web.) Wijk & Marg., Fissidens splachnobryoides Broth. Are observed and reported for the first time from these areas under investigation. Keywords: Mosses, Terricolous, bryophytic, Trimbakeshwar. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Mosses are highly evolved group of bryophyta having unique position between lower and higher cryptogams. The mosses like lower cryptogams, possess filamentous protonema resembling some green filamentous algae and also similar to higher cryptogams possessing conducting strands. Mosses play a key role in the formation of natural biotic communities and are indicators of pollution and forest conditions. They are also recognised as biomonitors of aerial distribution of heavy metals, gaseous pollution and radio isotopic products of nuclear explosions used for biochemical prospecting [9].Mosses also possess antibiotic, antimicrobial and anti-tumerogenic properties[7].
