Soil and Soil profile
Soil is a layer produced by the gradual weathering of the rock and covers the upper most surface. Development of soil depends on the several factors like Climate, Time, Topography, Parent rock, Biological activity etc. Soil Profile : The soil profile is the sequence of soil material found in the vertical section. The development of

Sand Dunes and their classification
Sand dunes are the build up of sand formed due to water or wind process under the influence of gravity. It typically takes the shape of a ridge, mound or hill that far from the tidal influence. The area which is associated with the dunes is called dune system or dune complex. A collection of

Speleothem use in Paleoclimatic Study
At a coarse level of time resolution, episodes of speleothem growth record relatively wet periods in semi-arid climates or relatively warm periods in cool temperate climates.

Chemical Weathering and its type
Chemical weathering may be defined as the spontaneous and irreversible thermodynamic process that causes degradation of the mineral phases under the prevailing environmental conditions at the surface of the Earth. It is usually considered to be the solid/solution interactive process occurring in contact with the atmosphere. In other words chemical weathering may be defined as that set of processes

CONCEPT OF GRADE AND GRADED STREAMS
In adjusting to change in discharge and erodibility of it’s bed, a stream modifies it’s channel so that irregularities are minimized and the least energy is expended in the movement in of water and sediments along its course. Frequently this involves enlargement of the channel cross section by erosion or reductions of it’s dimensions through

TILL DEPOSITS
The unstratified, unsorted debris dropped more or less randomly by the glaciers is called till. Tills can be of two types – It is laid down subglacially when debris is released directly from the sole of the ice. This involves pressure melting of basal so that debris in it is released and then lodges or
