Origin, age and interior of the Earth, different geological agencies and their
effects on topography, weathering and erosion; Soil types, their classification
and soil groups of India; Physio-graphic sub-divisions of India. Vegetation
and topography; Volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains, diastrophism.
(2) Structural Geology:
Common structure of igneous. sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Dip, strike
and slopes; folds, faults and unconformities, including their effects on outcrops.
Elementary ideas of methods of Geological Surveying and Mapping.
(3) Crystallography and Mineralogy:
Elementary knowledge of crystal symmetry. Law of crystallography. Crystal
habits and twinning.
Study of important rock-forming, including clay minerals with regard to their
chemical composition, physical properties, optical properties, alteration,
occurrence and commercial uses.
(4) Economic Geology:
Study of important economic minerals of India including mode of occurrence.
Origin and classification of ore deposits.
(5) Petrology:
Elementary study of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, including
origin and classification. Study of common rock types.
(6) Stratigraphy:
Principles of stratigraphy; lithological and chronological sub-division of
geological records. Outstanding features of Indian Stratigraphy.
(7) Paleontology:
The bearing of palaentological data upon evolution. Fossils, their nature
and mode of preservation. An elementary idea of the morphology and distribution
of representative forms of animal and plant fossils
