Physical Features, Climate and Drainage of India Hand Outs
INDIA PHYSIOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world. Its area is 2.4% of the total world area but about 16% of the entire human races reside in its fold. In population, only the mainland China exceeds that of India. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan form the well-defined realm of south Asia often referred to as the Indian sub-continent. Lying entirely in the northern hemisphere (tropical zone), the Indian mainland extends between the latitude -8°4' N to 37°6'N and longitude -68°7' E to 97°25'E. The southernmost point in the Indian territory, the Indira Point, is situated at 6°30' north in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. The tropic of cancer passes through the centre of India. India covers an area of 3.28 million sq km and measures about 3,214 km from north to south and about 2,933 km east to west. The total length of the mainland coastland is nearly 6,400 km and land frontier about 15,200 km. The boundary line between India and China is called the McMahon line. To the north-west, India, shares a boundary mainly with Pakistan and to the east with Myanmar and Bangladesh. The Indian Ocean lies in the south. In the south, on the eastern side, the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait separate India from Sri Lanka. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and the Lakshadweep islands in the Arabian Sea are parts of the Indian Territory India's relief is marked by a great variety: India can be divided into five major physiographic units: 1.

Geology, Structure and Tectonics of Shillong Plateau
© 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) GEOLOGY, STRUCTURE AND TECTONICS OF SHILLONG PLATEAU Laishram Sherjit Singh and Kh Mohon Singh Department of Environmental Studies, NEHU Shillong Department of Geology, Imphal College, Imphal Abstract-Shillong Plateau is located in the north eastern part of India. It exposes almost all kinds of rocks from Precambrian to recent. It is tectonically and seismically very active. The 1897 Great Shillong earthquake occurred at western edge of the Shillong Plateau and it uplifted the northern part of it about 10m. It captures the attention of many geoscientists. Geoscientists have been investigating the Shillong Plateau using many tools and techniques for better understanding of geology, structure and tectonics as major earthquakes are related to tectonic movements. Interestingly, it gives different results about the mechanism of upliftment of Shillong Plateau and how it detaches from Indian Shield and moves towards east to its present position. In this paper, we are presenting a brief review about geology, tectonics and structural features of Shillong Plateau. A detailed stratigraphic succession is compiled based on different sources. Keywords: Shillong Plateau, Indian Shield, Precambrian, Tectonics, Upliftment Introduction Shillong Plateau which is also known as Meghalaya Plateau is a part of the Indian Shield (Evans 1964). This plateau is bounded by the Dauki fault to the south, Kopili fault to the east, Brahmaputra fault to the north and Dhubri fault to the west. It covers an area of about 25,000 km2 (Chen and Molanar, 1990) and criss-crossed by many faults. It is separated from Indo- Myanmar Mobile belt by NE-SW trending belt of Schuppen and from Eastern Himalayas by Brahmaputra River.

Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Early Cretaceous Sub-Alkaline Mafic
Geochemistry and petrogenesis of early Cretaceous sub-alkaline mafic dykes from Swangkre-Rongmil, East Garo Hills, Shillong plateau, northeast India Rajesh K Srivastava∗ and Anup K Sinha Igneous Petrology Laboratory, Department of Geology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221 005, India. ∗e-mail: [email protected] Numerous early Cretaceous mafic and alkaline dykes, mostly trending in N-S direction, are emplaced in the Archaean gneissic complex of the Shillong plateau, northeastern India. These dykes are spatially associated with the N-S trending deep-seated Nongchram fault and well exposed around the Swangkre-Rongmil region. The petrological and geochemical characteristics of mafic dykes from this area are presented. These mafic dykes show very sharp contact with the host rocks and do not show any signature of assimilation with them. Petrographically these mafic dykes vary from fine-grained basalt (samples from the dyke margin) to medium-grained dolerite (samples from the middle of the dyke) having very similar chemical compositions, which may be classified as basaltic-andesite/andesite. The geochemical characteristics of these mafic dykes sug- gest that these are genetically related to each other and probably derived from the same parental magma. Although, the high-field strength element (+rare-earth elements) compositions disallow the possibility of any crustal involvement in the genesis of these rocks, but Nb/La, La/Ta, and Ba/Ta ratios, and similarities of geochemical characteristics of present samples with the Elan Bank basalts and Rajmahal (Group II) mafic dyke samples, suggest minor contamination by assimilation with a small amount of upper crustal material. Chemistry, particularly REE, hints at an alkaline basaltic nature of melt.

Abstract The Shillong Basin is the only Proterozoic (Purana) basin of NE India and is an intracratonic sag basin in nature. The basin is dominantly exposed in Meghalaya and partly in Karbi Anglong district of Assam and confined in the central and eastern parts of the Shillong plateau. This Proterozoic basin was developed during early Mesoproterozoic time. The metasedimentary rock associations of this basin are classified under Lower Metapelitic and Upper Quartzitic Formations closely associated with mafic magmatism in the form of mafic sills and dykes (metadolerite, locally named as Khasi greenstone). They are metamorphosed under greenschist – amphibolite transitional facies. The present study aims at generating geochemical characteristics of the metadolerites of the basin. Mafic dykes and sills of the basement of the Shillong plateau is of Cretaceous age and excluded from the present study.

The map cover parts of India, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan and some of the offshore regions. The Extra-Peninsular region includes the Cenozoic Himalayan Orogen in Pakistan, India Nepal, Bhutan and its possible extension into Myanmar. This belt is separated fronm the Peninsular region by the vast late Cenozoic-Pleistocene Indo-Gangetoc-Brahmaputra Basin. The Peninsular India is mostly composed of six Archean-Proterozoic cratonic nuclei with indications of Hadean elements in Singhbhum. Proterozoic mobile belts surround these nuclei; hence the peninsular part might have been a single continent till end of Proterozoic. Deformation and metamorphism gradually decreased in their intensity, when vast Proterozoic sedimentary basins evolved over the Indian cratons and mobile belts unconformably. Paleo-Mesozoic rifts created the coal-bearing Gondwana basins, followed by marine transgressions before the onset of extensive Deccan volcanic eruptions in the western parts of the continent.

GEOGRAPHY Geography Is That Branch of Knowledge- Which Links the Study of Natural World to That of Society
1 GEOGRAPHY Geography is that branch of knowledge- which links the study of natural world to that of society. It is the frame work of various fields of study which cover origin and development of universe, land scapes and its natural environment and pressure created over them, the global and local changes in the world and how and upto what extent the society is contributing in these changes. In this section we are going to cover all these above mentioned aspects in details. Greek Scholar Eratosthenes is first man to discuss about Geography. It’s the combination of two greek words and Geo means earth and graphy” means write. Thus geography means to write about the Earth or “earth descriptions”. Various other geographers defined Geography as follows: In Classical Period (i) Pythagoras, a great Greek philosopher and mathematician, was the first to say that the Earth is spherical and revolves around the sun. (ii) Herodotus Greek historian is known as the “Father of history”. He explained the deposition of silt in the Nile delta. (iii) Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.) another Greek philosopher explained the eclipses. (iv) Eratosthenes (276 - 194 B.C) a Greek poet, mathematician observing the angle of the noon day Sun at Syene and at Alexandria. (v) Hipparchus (190 - 120 B.C.) was perhaps the greatest of the Greek astronomers. (vi) Ptolemy (2nd century A.D.). He wrote the book ‘Geography’ and he described system of latitudes and longitudes. He was a cartographer and he evolved the science of map-making. Modern Geography 1. Bernhardus Varenius (1622-1650) first recognised the need for organisation of geographical knowledge.
