The book highlights: (1) the definition, identification and classification of ferruginous materials, (2) the mode of laterite formation and its other horizons, (3) processes and theories of lateritisation, (4) determination of laterite ages, (5) recognition of palaeogeomorphic and palaeoclimatic significance and (6) geo-chronology and reconstruction of former lateritized landscapes. The chapters cover the tectono-climatic evolution of north-south laterite profiles of the north-western Bengal Basin on the Rajmahal Basalt Traps, Archean Granite-Gneiss, Gondwana Sandstones, Palaeogene Gravels and Older Palaeo-Deltaic Alluvium. The book uses advanced field-based studies, quantitative analysis and thematic mapping to cover various areas of palaeogeography and regolith geology of the Bengal Basin in connection with laterite genesis, palaeoweathering, tectonic geomorphology, Quaternary geomorphology and pedogeomorphology.It introduces laterites as a potential stratigraphic marker in Indian geology by explaining their palaeogeomorphic and palaeoclimatic significance..This Brief is a comprehensive resource to researchers, | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Pedology; Regolith Geology; Quaternary Geomorphology; Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta; Rarh Laterites; Palaeogeom | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-22937-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-22936-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-22937-5Series ISSN 2211-4165 Series E-ISSN 2211-4173 | issn_series | 2211-4165 | copyright | The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
