Gujarat's Bhupruti

 => The geological history of Gujarat is very old and long. Gujarat has experienced many geological movements from the Archean era to the elite era. There are 17 geological belly sections all together in the world. Of these, only 8 blocks of geology are found in Gujarat. Gujarat can be divided into five main sections: (1) The coastal region of Gujarat (2) the plains of Gujarat (3) High plateau of Saurashtra (4) Hilly regions of Gujarat (5) Desert of Gujarat


(1) Gujarat river coast

=> The entire country of India is about 6100 km Has long coastline. Of which Gujarat has a third part of the coastline i.e. 1600 kms. The long coastline has got Gujarat. Like the coast of India, Gujarat's coastline is not very bumpy. 15 districts of Gujarat have coastline. Apart from the beaches of Saurashtra in the south, Gujarat's coastal areas are usually tidal flats and tiny sludge made by recruitment. Since the coastline is unprotected, it is very useful for shipping. There are alkaline land in the coastal region, which is unusable for agriculture. Due to the coastal areas of Gujarat, 45 ports have been developed. The fisheries industry, salt industry, smashing industries and boats have been developed by the coast of Gujarat. The Arabian Sea on the west of Kutch and the Gulf of Kutch on the south. The entire shore of Kutch is approximately 406 km. As long as it is. Corinad of Indus is believed to be the fossil of a futuristic east face. 10 to 13 km from Koteshwar to Jakhau The mountains are a mud area, while Jakhau is made of sandy hills along the coast of Mandvi, behind which lagoon is formed. The coastal region of Kutch is formed by raising the continental shelf from the sea. This leads to better development of water transmissions. The mangrove area surrounding the Kandla has been developed.

=> Kutch district has the longest coastline. Saurashtra coastline is 843 km. Is long There is a thin sludge level on basalt rocks on the northern coast of Saurashtra. The coastal valley of Kutch from the Okamandal to the desert of Kutch is an area of ​​salty and mud cover. Gopnath to West-Veraval is the shore-shore. These bays are made up of flat terraces from the tide and between the long hills of Milliolite Limestone and the sloping sand hills. Among them, there are several bats, such as Jafrabad, Big Patt, Soma and Sawibet. The shores of the cemetery are very inevitable. Nalasarovar, spread over 15380 hectares on the lower part of the small desert of Kutch and connecting the Gulf of Khambhat, is considered as part of the sea. The coastal area of ​​Gandurate is 531 km long. Starting from the Gulf of Khambat of Gandharta, the entire shore of Valsad is made up of nineteen nights by the mouths of Mahi, Narmada, Kim, Tapi and their tributaries. Within 30 km from the main area of ​​Dhadar

The bridges formed by a high meter cut are located. Which is known as 'hillsides of Suvali'. Sabarmati is found in the Gulf of Khambat where it stretches 7 kms. Is wide. It is called 'Kopali Bay'. Narmada meets the Gulf of Khambat where its mouth is 24 km. Is wide. 10 to 16 km of the entire coast of Tangrajagara There is a flat tide composed of wide tide. These saline sludge areas are 'Saltapat' Known as.

(2) Grounds of Gujarat;

=> Gujarat's plains are the most fertile areas of Gujarat, where even today sea-tidal waters can not reach. There are lush plains in the middle of the shore coastal areas of the coast of Tangroor, and in the middle of the hilly region of the east and northeast. More than fifty percent of Gujarat's land area is made up of such plains. The main plains like Sabarmati, Narmada, Tapi and Mahi and their tributaries have been formed by silted waste. Rivers like Narmada and Tapi, are trapped in the tropical cliff region, and they are in the vulnerable regions of the valley, they are nowhere fertile and there are plains of the soil. Due to differences in type of land, climate and land in different parts of these plains, it is divided into three main sections. (1) North Gujarat grounds (2) Central Gujarat ground and (3) Grounds of South Gujarat Most of the land areas of Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Patan and Mehsana districts are included in the North Gujarat ground. Banas, Saraswati, Rupen and Sabarmati rivers flow through this ground. The ground slopes are from north-east to south-west. The western part of Banaskantha, Patan and Mehsana is sandy, while the area of ​​black land in Sabarkantha is situated. Radanpur is situated in the western part of Patan in the west, in Patan area, a lot of it - the right part is sandy and salty. At some places in the North Gujarat grounds, the surrounding area carats are slightly elevated. Which is called 'Gorod'. Early rivers stay dry during this period, during most of the year. Madhya Pradesh's Gurdwara started from Ahmedabad district, extending from Narmada to the northern region of Bharuch district.

Viramgam is situated on the northern side of Bhal in Sabarmati. This area includes some areas of Ahmedabad and Mehsana district. South Gujarat is spread from Valsad district to the southern part of Bharuch district. The grounds of Tapi are further wide open. This ground was created from the silted waste of rivers such as Tapi, Purna, Ambika, Auranga, Par, Kolkata and Daman. There is a thickness of about 8 to 10 meters thick in this ground, hence some identify the ground as 'plain'. In addition to the Gandurata, in the north of the Saurashtra region of Saurashtra, the fertile plains have been formed by the reduction of eclipse from the rivers of Saurashtra. This ground is organized by Shetrunji Basin and Bhadar Basin. This ground is known as 'Kanti Maidan' because it is situated on the north side of the shore coast of the coast.

(3) Saurashtra and plateau of Kutch

Chottila's hill, hill station near Porbandar, Shatrunjon hill near Palitana, and Khokhara is situated in the north of Bhavnagar in the hill ranges in the middle of Saurashtra. The territories of some hills in this high plateau are of particular interest.

Like Saurashtra, Kutch is also situated in the east-west stretch of highland except the narrow plains on the shore.
