Mechanical principles of rock deformation: properties of rocks and their controlling factors; theory of rock failure; concept of stress and strain; types of strain- ellipses and ellipsoids, their properties and geological significance; mechanics of folding and buckling; classification of folds; fold development and distribution of strains in folds. Faults and Joints: Their nomenclature, age relationship, origin and significance; causes and dynamics of faulting, strike-slip fault, normal fault, over thrust and nappe; planar and linear fabrics in deformed rocks, their origin and significance. Plate tectonics: recent advances, pros and cons; dynamic evolution of continental and oceanic crust; tectonics of Precambrian Orogenic Belts; formation of mountain roots; anatomy of orogenic belts; structure and origin of the Alpine– Himalayan belt, the Appalachian-Caledonian belt, the Andes, the North American Cordillera. REMOTE SENSING IN GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY Principles of remote sensing: general idea about electromagnetic spectrum; Satellite remote sensing: LANDSAT, METEOSAT, SEASAT, SPOT, IRS; image characters and their relations with ground objects based on tone, texture and pattern; principles of terrain analysis; evaluation of ground water potential; rock type identification and interpretation of topographic and tectonic features. Aerial photographs: geometry, characters and properties. Photogrammetry: recent advances and applications. Geomorphological studies: dynamics of geomorphology; geomorphic processes and resulting land forms; geomorphological mapping based on genesis of landforms; terrain evaluation for strategic purposes. SEDIMENTOLOGY Earth surface system: weathering, erosion, process of transportation, deposition and post depositional changes. Sedimentary textures: grain size, shape, sorting, packing and orientation. Sedimentary structures. Sedimentary environments and facies: continental, alluvial-fluvial, lacustrine, desert, aeolian and glacial sedimentary systems; shallows coastal and tidal sedimentary systems; palaeocurrents; Diagenesis. Clastic petrofacies: clastic and non clastic sedimentary rocks. Marine and continental evaporites. Basin analysis. Syllabus of Post of Geologist RPSC |
