Scope Of Geology

Scope Of Geology.......
                         
It is a well established interdisciplinary branch of Science and has a scope in different fields:

         

          Marine Geologist

           Studies marine environment. With the help of remote sensing they locate old

           rocks and vegetations and effects on sea and atmosphere.

          Petrologist
 Conducts explorations for new oil and gas fields both the onshore and offshore

          activity. All types of survey like geophysical and seismic surveys are carried out

          before drilling

          Geohydrologist

           Locates and assesses sources of water and also find threats which can pollute the

           water.

           Hydrologist

          Studies underground sources of water and all related parameters to it like

          infiltration and pollution threats.

          Paleontologist

          Works with fossils (dead remain of creatures and plants). They estimate their age

          and try to find how the earth was at that time and what lead to their deaths.

          Seismologist

          Works with movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, which causes earthquakes.

          Surveyor

           Collects data about land and sea and maintain a database and keep monitoring

           the changes in data with past and present values.

CIPW NORMS CALCULATIONS

CIPW NORMS CALCULATIONS The CIPW norm is named after the four petrologists, Cross, Iddings, Pirsson and Washington, who devised it in 1931. What is a Norm and why it is needed? A norm is a means of converting the chemical composition of an igneous rock to an ideal mineral composition. It often reveals similarities in rocks that have quite different modes, or observed mineral assemblages. Some of the factors that can cause such variations are: • Disequilibrium (for example, zoned minerals or reaction rims isolating the interiors of grains) • Temperature • Pressure • Alteration • Water content (otherwise identical rocks might contain biotite, amphibole, or pyroxene, depending on water content) • Other minor constituents. For example, excess sulfur or chlorine might cause scapolite to form instead of feldspar. Boron typically causes tourmaline to form. The CIPW norm calculates mineral composition as if the magma were anhydrous (water is simply treated as a separate phase) and at low press...

FOSSILISED LEAVES FROM JURASSIC PERIOD IN JHARKHAND

 Geologists Discover Fossilised Leaves From Jurassic Period in Jharkhand Geologists have found fossilised leaves, estimated to be around 150-200million years old, in Jharkhand's Sahibganj district. A couple of 20 cm by 5 cm fossilised leaves of genus Ptilophyllum have been found in Dudhkol mountain in Taljhari area on 26/09/2020 and further excavation is underway, lead geologist assistant professor Ranjit Kumar Singh of Sahibganj PG College said. The excavation is being conducted in association with National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow under a project of the Department of Science and Technology of the Union government. "Such leaves were consumed by herbivorous dinosaurs. Smaller fossils from Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous period were earlier found in the region. We might even find fossilised dinosaur eggs during further excavation," Singh told .

Branches Of Geology

1. Mineralogy-                       Mineralogy defined as the offshoot of geology dealing with the scientific analysis of the minerals, including chemistry, structure, physical and optical properties and its artifacts. 2. Structural Geology-                                   The   branch of geology dealing with the three-dimensional distribution of the rock and its deformational history.  3. Oceanography-                             The discipline of geology dealing with the studies of oceans and seas including their framework, physical and chemical properties, origin and its ancient history and current direction.  4. Petrology-                     Petrology is systematic studies of rocks, their origin, structure, c...
