The book provides a comprehensive understanding of geology and planetary

sciences, focusing on Earth’s physical structure and the processes shaping our planet. It begins with an introduction to geology, detailing its branches, scope, and applications in various fields. The book then transitions to planetary sciences, discussing the origins of the universe and the solar system, meteorites, and impact

craters. It covers Earth’s unique characteristics within the solar system, including its size, shape, mass, and gravitational parameters. The book also discusses seismology, the internal structure of Earth, earthquakes, and geological processes

on a grand scale, such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, and plate tectonics. It also examines the origin of oceans, continents, and mountains, and the effects of weathering, erosion, wind, rivers, glaciers, and underground water on landforms. The final chapters focus on Indian geomorphology, offering a regional perspective on global geological processes. This book is an essential resource for students,

researchers, and professionals in geology and planetary sciences, combining theoretical knowledge with real-world examples to enhance understanding of both Earth and the wider solar system.
