Identification of Geological and Geomorphological Landforms in Thanjavur District Using Remote Sensing & GIS

Abstract

Abstract — In this Paper Abstract has been researched to study of Identification of Geological & Geomorphological landforms in Thanjavur District using Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques. The Cauvery Delta is located in Thanjavur District. It is one of the important rice bowl of Tamilnadu. The total area of Thanjavur District is about 3396.57 Sq.km. The eastern part of Thanjavur is connected with Bay of Bengal. This study is carried out by using IRSP6 LISS IV Satellite image and Toposheet 1:50000 Scale. From this, the thematic maps (Geomorphology, Geology, and Drainage) are created. The Geomorphological features like Flood Plain, Alluvial plain, Deltaic plain and Eolian plain were studied.Similarly the Geological features like Fluvio marine, alluvial-fluvial, sripermuputhur / Sivaganga formation, Nasal formations were analysed.In the same way, the drainage pattern of Thanjavur district is found and the pattern was Dichotomic Using ARC GIS.
