ENGINEERING GEOLOGY BOOK BY N CHENNA KESAVULU – PDF FREE DOWNLOAD

Geology is
the science of the earth (geo – earth logo – study or science) It deals with
different aspects of the earth as a whole such as i.origin, age,
interior,structure and history of the earth. ii.evolution and modification of
various surface features like rivers, mountains and takes along with their
causes iii. materials making up the earth.

Geology is a
relatively recent subject. In addition to its core branches, advances in
geology in allied fields have led to specialized sciences like geophysics,
geochemistry, geography, geohydrology, glaciology, seismology, oceanology, rock
mechanics, photogeology, remote sensing.

Similarly,
based on the applied importance of geology in other fields related subjects
such as engineering geology, mining geology, and so on have come into
existence.

HISTORICAL
GEOLOGY : The earth’s surface was always uneven and provided suitable
conditions for the deposition of sediments at some place or the other.
Therefore t there are sedimentary rocks on the earth representing the entire
period of the earth’s history. Proper investigations of these rocks reveal the
chronological sequence of formation of rocks, evolution-irrigation–extinction
details of different plant and animal life during the different periods of
earth’s history. In addition the climatic and geographical changes including
tectonic events in the geological part can also be known from these
investigations. This kind of study oh the earth’s history through the
sedimentary rocks is called historical geology. It is also known as
stratigraphy because this subject deals with the details and description of
sedimentary rock sequence. This is the major branch of geology having a lot of
academic and applied importance.
