The book provides a comprehensive understanding of geology and planetarysciences, focusing on Earth's physical structure and the processes shaping ourplanet. It begins with an introduction to geology, detailing its branches, scope, andapplications in various fields. The book then transitions to planetary sciences,discussing the origins of the universe and the solar system, meteorites, and impactcraters. It covers Earth's unique characteristics within the solar system, includingits size, shape, mass, and gravitational parameters. The book also discussesseismology, the internal structure of Earth, earthquakes, and geological processeson a grand scale, such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, and plate tectonics.It also examines the origin of oceans, continents, and mountains, and the effects ofweathering, erosion, wind, rivers, glaciers, and underground water on landforms.The final chapters focus on Indian geomorphology, offering a regional perspectiveon global geological processes. This book is an essential resource for students,researchers, and professionals in geology and planetary sciences, combiningtheoretical knowledge with real-world examples to enhance understanding of bothEarth and the wider solar system.
