Quaternary Stratigraphy and Geomorphology of Lendi River Sub Basin in West Central Maharashtra

Abstract

Quaternary Geology is the branch of Geology, which gives information about newlinepast Geological history during Quaternary era and Geomorphology is the study related newlineto landforms development. Both the braches of geology are interdependent and if it newlinestudied simultaneously it gives key information about development of landforms and its newlineorigin. newlineThe present investigation is carried out under the title of Quaternary newlineStratigraphy and Geomorphology of Lendi river sub-basin in West-Central Maharashtra newlineunder the supervision of Dr. Shaikh Md. Babar, Department of Geology, Dynanopasak newlineShikshan Mandal s, College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Parbhani, Maharashtra newlinefrom Oct. 2013 to 2019. The Lendi river is the tributary of river Manjra and it covers newline2532.26 sq km area. newlineDuring this research we studied the geology, Quaternary geology, newlinegeomorphology, structural analysis in basalt as well as granitic terrain, paleoclimate, newlinepaleoenvironment, fossils age dating and neotectonics and in support with Remote newlineSensing and GIS software s. newline
