Spatial Study of Geology and Geomorphology in Shahdol District, Madhya Pradesh
Abstract: Geology and Geomorphology both are provide a foundation for resource use, disaster safety, and sustainable development of any region. They provide a comprehensive view of any human and physical activities that affect the development of a region. The main objective of the present study is to present the spatial study of geology and geomorphology of Shahdol district. There are five different stratigraphic horizons and geological ages are exposed within the geological structure such as Bijawar Group (Paleoproterozioc age), Lower Vindhyan Supergroup (Mesoproterozoic age), Gondwana Supergroup (Late Palaeozoic age), Lameta Formation (Late Cretaceous age) and Deccan Traps (Late Cretaceous age). Shahdol district is divided into three key distinctive geomorphic units, which represents the complex nature of landforms: Geomorphic units of extrusive origin, Geomorphic units of structural origin, Geomorphic units of denudational origin. As Basin divider, Escarpment, Hogback, and Lineament also appear in the study area.
Keywords: Geology, Geomorphology, Development, Extrusive, Structural, Denudational
