ENGINEERING GEOLOGY I (CE 102): Physical Geology
Understanding Physical Geology
This chapter, Physical Geology, explores the dynamic processes that shape the Earth’s surface and subsurface. Physical geology examines the geological agents and processes that continuously modify our planet’s landscape.
The chapter covers various geological agents including rivers, groundwater, glaciers, wind, and sea water, and explains how they contribute to weathering, erosion, and the formation of distinct geomorphological features. Understanding these processes is crucial for civil engineers to predict landscape changes, assess geological hazards, and design stable structures.
Additionally, the chapter introduces volcanism, explaining volcanic processes, landforms, and their significance in geological studies and engineering applications.
