Geology of this area is ranging from Precambrian age for the rocks of granite, gneisses, schist and quartzite rocks, to recent age overlain by thick layers of alluvial deposits. This study aims to evaluate geological and structural influences on groundwater of Chamarajanagar taluk. It is an essential resource in outcrop and structures of the area, because of local field conditions, such as rock...

The Xade Complex is an unexposed Y-shaped body, approximately 100 km long and 25km wide, located close to the western margin of the Kaapvaal craton in Botswana. The Complex is characterized by large coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies. It is completely covered by varying thicknesses of Kalahari sediments as well as by Karoo strata, which means that detailed analysis of high resolution air...

The Great Bank of Guizhou (GBG) is an isolated Late Permian to Late Triassic carbonate platform in the Nanpanjiang Basin of Guizhou Province, southwest China. A faulted syncline exposes a cross section of the platform margin, including a well-preserved Anisian (earliest Middle Triassic) reef complex approximately 1 km wide and 800 meters thick. Geochronologic constraints from associated basin-m...

Indirect indicators are critically important for recognizing hypogene karst that is too deep-seated to have explorable caves. We suggested in previous publications an extensive network of non-tectonic synclines otherwise flat-lying Eocene limestone Egypt might be such indirect indicator. proposed formed by sag layers overlying a zone today remains deep below the surface and speleogenesis result...

The Southwell Topple is a spectacular example of toppling failure on the southeastern coastline Isle Portland, south coast England. Types mass movements, which occur around almost entire Portland and include some other much smaller but well-known topples, vary depending local geological topographical contexts. ‘Southwell Landslide’ 1734 (i.e. Topple) differs in most respects from all others, no...
