Abstract
An investigative study of the geomorphology of
some part of Betul district (M.P) and Amravati district (M.S) were conducted
using satellite data, topographic maps and integrated approach of GIS. Spatial
datasets, elevation data, physiography, geology and hydrography were acquired
for incorporation and analysis with GIS technology. Toposheets and satellite
data has been used to delineating the different geomorphic unit to understand
the geomorphology of the study area. The synoptic view of satellite imagery facilitates
better appreciation of geomorphology and helps in mapping different landforms
and their assemblages. The interpretation criteria such as tone, texture,
shape, size, location, association, physiography, genesis of the landforms,
nature of the rocks, associated geological structures etc. are used for
identification of different landforms and geomorphic units. The Survey of India
toposheet provide the basic topographic information required to interpret the
geomorphology from the satellite imagery. Then, within each zone, different
geomorphic units have been mapped based on the landform characteristics, their
aerial extent, depth of weathering, thickness of deposition etc. For the
preparation of geomorphic map, the information extracted from the various
sources like Survey of India toposheets, geological map and interpretation of
satellite image data and most importantly, the field observations.
