Describe with the help ofa neat-labeled diagram. 6 1. B) Explain what happens when mudstone/shale passes into slate/phyllite ? 6 1. C) What are the rock forming minerals and accessory minerals ? 4 OR 1. A) How to classify sedimentary rocks based on mode of occurrence ? 6 1. B) Draw a flow chart for the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. C) What are different textures in igneous rocks ? N . A) What is physical and chemical weathering ? Describe any two mode of physical weathering. 8 2. B) How to distinguish between breccia and conglomerate on the basis of texture, composition, source of sediments and origin ? 8 OR 2. A) Discuss the triangular classification of mass movement. 8 2. B) Describe the internal structure of the earth using the earthquake waves. 8 P.T.O.[3863] - 412 2 An 3. A) Describe with the help of neat sketches any one geometric classification of folds. Explain relation between wavelength and amplitude of folds with increasing or decreasing interlimb angle. 12 3. B) Describe with neat figures the geometric classification of joints. 6 OR 3. A) What are normal and reverse faults ? Explain the criteria to recognize these faults in bore hole. 8 3. B) Give quantitative description of discontinuities. 6 3. C) What is vertical thickness and true stratigraphic thickness ? 4 SECTION — IL 4, A) Whatare the diagenetic changes that are taking place in sedimentary rocks with increasing depth and temperature ? 8 4, B) Discuss the classification of sedimentary rocks based on triangular diagram of lime-sand —clay/mud 8 OR 4. A) Explain how a textural maturity of sediments decided on the basis of clay content, sorting of grains, grain shape. Compare textural maturity of sandstone deposited as beach sediments and Aolian deposits. 8 4. B) Discuss the Dunham’s Scheme of classification of carbonate rocks. What are the major components of carbonate rocks ? 8 5. Write short notes on any two: 16 A) Marine depth zones and distribution of organisms B) Trace fossils as an indicator of environment of deposition C) Use of microfossils in the exploration of hydrocarbons D) Mode of preservation of fossils.ANA A 3 [3863] - 412 6, A) Write “Geological Time Scale” in a tabular form with important events. 8 6. B) Following sedimentary sequence is encountered during preliminary subsurface investigations (Figure : 01). A break in sedimentation exists between two successive units. Reconstruct the chronology of events based on submergence and emergence of coasts. Describe in brief the geological conditions that are responsible for the transgression, regression. 19 Coastal sand Clay oP marine origin Silt and clay of intertidal zone Coastal sand Clay of mixed origin Clay of marine origin Silt and clay of intertidal zone Coastal sand OR 6. A) Discuss in brief the Petroliferous basin classification of India given by ONGC. 6. B) What is an unconformity ? What are the different types of unconformities? 6 6. C) Whatis genetic increment of strata? Draw a cross section showing relationship between environment, facies and increment of sedimentation. 6 BAN/10/250
