Geological mapping
A map is a representation of Earth's surface that shows spatial relationships between objects by depicting their distance, direction, and size relative to each other on a flat surface. Maps convey information about a specific area and indicate its position relative to other parts of Earth. A geological map specifically shows the distribution and types of rocks and soils in an area. Geological maps are important tools used by geologists to understand Earth's structure and history, locate resources, and identify natural hazards.
Determination of strike and dip and geological cross section
This document provides steps for determining strike and dip from outcrop data and for constructing a geological cross section:
1. To determine strike and dip, first measure the map distance and elevation difference between two outcrops to calculate apparent dip. Then use trigonometry to locate the elevation of a third outcrop and mark the strike line. The dip direction is perpendicular to strike toward lower elevations.
2. To construct a geological cross section, first select a representative line of section. Then transfer topographic contours and structural features like faults onto the cross section. Plot bedding measurements and use them to extend lithological boundaries above and below the surface.

Introduction of Engineering Geology
Engineering geology involves the application of geology to construction projects. It is concerned with the rock and soil conditions of construction sites. Engineering geology provides information vital for planning, designing, and building structures like dams, bridges, and buildings. It examines the geology, geomorphology, and material properties of construction sites to understand subsurface conditions, availability of construction materials, and geologic hazards that could impact structures. Subdisciplines of engineering geology include physical geology, geomorphology, mineralogy, petrology, and economic geology. It aids in site selection, foundation design, and town planning by considering the geologic factors that influence construction and development.
Geology
1. Geology is the science that studies the physical structure and composition of the Earth, as well as the processes that act on it.
2. Geology provides knowledge about construction materials like stones and clay that are important for civil engineering projects. It also helps understand natural geological processes like erosion that impact projects.
3. Geology is important for understanding groundwater resources and interpreting drilling data for projects like dams and bridges to ensure stable foundations.
PETROLOGY
Petrology is the study of rocks and their origins, compositions, textures, and structures. There are three main types of rocks: igneous rocks formed from cooled magma, sedimentary rocks formed from compressed sediments, and metamorphic rocks formed from existing rocks subjected to heat and pressure. Rocks are constantly changing between these types through geological processes in the rock cycle, powered by Earth's interior heat and the energy from the sun. Igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion then become metamorphic rocks through burial and increased heat and pressure, and metamorphic rocks can melt to form new magma and igneous rocks.
APPLIED GEOMORPHOLOGY ppt.pptx
Applied geomorphology examines how landforms and geological processes impact society and how human activities affect landforms. It provides solutions to issues like coastal erosion, landslides, and river management. Applied geomorphologists create maps, models, and predictions to help scientists, engineers, and decision-makers address hazards, land use, natural resources, and environmental changes. They also advise on public policy regarding human-landform interactions.
Weathering Processes
Weathering is an important geological mechanism which can destabilize the earth’s surface materials and remove them by erosive processes. Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of a rock mass on the land. It is a unique phenomena happening on the earth’ surface. Weathering is a collective term used to denote the mechanical, chemical and biological(organic) processes that take place on the earth’s surface. Weathering of rock-forming minerals can create new products from pre-existing rocks. In many regions, soils are the ultimate products of weathering. Weathering of rocks releases chemical compounds that become available for biological processes. It is necessary to study the factors that are influencing the weathering processes.
Metamorphic rocks
This document discusses metamorphism and metamorphic rocks. It defines metamorphism as the change in rocks due to increases in temperature and pressure. There are different types of metamorphism including contact, regional, and cataclastic metamorphism. Regional metamorphism occurs over large areas and results in strongly foliated rocks like slates, schists and gneisses. The document describes the different grades of metamorphism from low to high and the typical minerals formed. It also discusses structures in metamorphic rocks like foliation and banding. In conclusion, different metamorphic rocks like slates, schists and gneisses have various economic uses as building materials.
Geological mapping in Exploration Geology( surface and subsurface)
Geological mapping involves creating maps and sections that visually represent spatial geological relationships and interpretations based on field observations. Maps are created at various scales appropriate for the level of detail needed, from regional-scale maps showing broad patterns to more detailed outcrop maps of mineral prospects. Field equipment used in mapping includes compasses, clinometers, altimeters, and plane tables. Geophysical methods and aerial/satellite imagery can provide additional subsurface and regional data to supplement field mapping. Drilling and geostatistical analysis of subsurface data are also used to construct contour maps depicting formations, structures, and thickness changes.
Fundamentals of engineering geology
This document provides an overview of engineering geology and rock mechanics. It discusses fundamentals such as lithology, rock structures, weathering, and rock mass classification systems. It also presents a case study on the 1928 failure of the St. Francis Dam in California, which was caused by unsuitable geological conditions including weakness along the San Francisquitto fault that were not properly considered in the dam's design and construction. The case study demonstrates the importance of engineering geological considerations for civil works.

Geography form 1 notes, kenya syllabus
Geography is the study of the Earth. There are two main branches: physical geography, which examines landforms and climate, and human geography, which studies human activities and settlements. Geography relates to other subjects like chemistry, physics, agriculture, biology and history.
The solar system consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it, like planets, asteroids, comets and moons. The Earth originated from a cloud of gas and dust about 4.6 billion years ago. It rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun, causing day/night and seasons. Internally, it has a core, mantle and crust. Geography involves understanding our planet and its relationship to other celestial bodies.

Introduction to Earth
Earth is composed of four main layers - crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost layer and is made up of either continental or oceanic crust. Below the crust is the mantle, which is divided into lithosphere, asthenosphere, upper mantle, and lower mantle. The outer core is a liquid layer made of nickel and iron that generates Earth's magnetic field. The inner core is made of solid iron deep within Earth. Overall, Earth's composition is approximately 34.6% iron, 29.5% oxygen, and 15.2% silicon.
5.earthquake xi
The document discusses earthquakes, including their causes, measurement, effects, and zones of risk. Some key points:
- Earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates and faults in rocks. Their magnitude is measured on the Richter Scale and their intensity by the Mercalli scale.
- Seismic waves transmit earthquake energy and are used to locate epicenters. The major earthquake zones are the Pacific Ring of Fire, Alpide Belt, and Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
- India has five seismic zones of risk. Zone V including Kashmir and Northeast India faces the highest risk, while Zone I including parts of central India faces the lowest risk.
4.faults
Faults are cracks or fractures in the Earth's crust caused by stresses that induce brittle deformation of rocks. There are three main types of faults: dip-slip faults which involve vertical motion, strike-slip faults with horizontal motion, and oblique-slip faults with an oblique motion. Normal faults occur during extension while reverse faults are caused by compression. The elastic rebound theory explains that tectonic plates accumulate energy during periods of stress until a sudden slip occurs along the fault, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves and causing earthquakes.
