This document provides an overview of geology presented by Dinesh Sonwane. It defines geology as the study of the solid matter that constitutes the Earth, encompassing rocks, soil, gemstones. It discusses the various branches of geology including physical geology, geomorphology, mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, historical geology, applied geology, and the relationship between geology and other fields. The document also defines a mineral, describes the three main types of rocks and their uses, and provides brief explanations of structural geology and paleontology. It was presented by Dinesh Sonwane to his class on the topic of geology.

d) Rock-Mechanics

5.  It is also know as Geo-Dynamics
And Mainly Deals with Different
physical Features of the Earth.
 E.g. Mountain,Velleys,Volcanos &
Earthquake.

6. MINERAL :- It is a Naturally occurring
Homogeneous solid with a Definite ( but not
generally fixed)chemical composition and a highly
ordered atomic arrangement usually formed by an
inorganic process.
( In Short :- A Naturally occurring
Substance that is not a plant or animal. )
It is Microscopic study of
Mineral.

8. It deal with study of various types of
Rocks , their mode of occurrence , their
Composition , Texture , Structure ,
Geological and Geographical
Distribution.
Types Of Rock :-
1) Igneous Rock :-
2) Sedimentary Rock :-
3) Metamorphic Rock :-
 It forms when Magma Solidifies.
Use :- 1) used for decorative work for Flooring and Wall
2) Also used for as Aggregate for Concrete.
 Material that Settles to the bottom of liquid.
Use :-1)Used for Civil Engineering –
For E.g. Construction of Road , Houses , Tunnels , Canals or Other construction
 It forms when any preexisting rock is altered by Heating ,
Increased Pressure , or Tectonic Deformation.
Use :- 1) used for Facing Concrete or Masonry Exterior and
interior walls and Floor.

9. IGNEOUS ROCK

10. SEDIMENTARY ROCK

11. METAMORPHIC ROCK

12. CYCLE OF ROCK FORMATION

13.  4) STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY :-It study of Morphology ,
classification, causes of development and all other aspect related to
the structural features of the Rock surface. The structure features are
Folds, Faults and Joints.

14.  5)PALAEONTOLOGY :- It deals with study of fossils of
Ancient life forms and their Evolution.

15.  1)ENGINEERING GEOLOGY:-It deals with the study and Use
of Geology in CIVIL ENGEENIRING.
