Use of terain factors in evaluation and classifications of Darjeeling district,West bengal     

Indrani Chatterjee  Kalyan Sarkar 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1982,10(2):23-32

The use of LANDSAT data has proved to be a major aid to semi-macroscale geomorphic mapping of terrain. The geomorphological contribution to the classifications of the Darjeeling District, using quantitative measures of selected terrain factors apart from conventional landsystem mapping on MSS-imagery, has been found to be more useful means of terrain evaluation as well as its proper development in resource management. Qualitative estimates of terrain factors, viz. altitude, relief, slope and dissection nature, drainage texture and pattern, valley forms and crest types coupled with landcover types etc. are considered in preparation of landsystem map of the area. Because of its subjective biasness, an alternative approach, the parametric method of terrain classification is carried out to analyse the spatial distributions of quantitative parameters on terrain factors viz. maximum altitude, average altitude, relative relief, average slope, dissection index, drainage density and ruggedness index etc. and to combine the resulting patterns into compositive generalizations. The composite map thus prepared reveals six terrain units of distinct morphological classes and are sufficiently equatable to certain physical conditions of terrain.  相似文献

S. N. Chatterjee 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1971,86(1):69-79

Summary Propagation of Rayleigh waves in a layer lying over a heterogeneous incompressible half space has been studied. The dispersion equations have been derived and displacements due to an infinite line source have also been investigated.  相似文献   

Torsional vibration of a composite truncated conical bar     

A. K. Mitra  S. K. Chatterjee 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1971,90(1):30-34

Summary Torsional vibration of a body composed of two conical bars, the upper one being made of non-homogeneous material and the lower of a homogeneous material, by the application of a shearing stress on the upper end has been considered in the problem. It is assumed that the lower end of the composite body is fixed and the lateral surface is free from shearing stress.  相似文献   

The upper stability limit of the assemblage paragonite + quartz and its natural occurrences     

Niranjan D. Chatterjee 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1972,34(4):288-303

The assemblage paragonite + quartz is encountered frequently in low- to medium-grade metamorphic rocks. With rising grade of metamorphism they react mutually to yield the condensed assemblage albite + Al₂SiO₅.The univariant curve pertaining to the equilibrium paragonite + quartz=albite + andalusite + H₂O has been located experimentally. The reversed P _{H 2 O}-T data are: 1 kb: 470–490° C 2 kb: 510–530° C 3 kb: 540–560° C 4 kb: 560–580° C 5 kb: 590–600° C The univariant curve pertaining to the equilibrium paragonite + quartz=albite + kyanite + H₂O runs through the following P _{H 2 O}-T-intervals: 5 kb: 570–625° C 6 kb: 600–630° C 7 kb: 620–640° C Thermodynamic calculations of S ₂₉₈ ⁰ , H _f,298 ⁰ and G _f,298 ⁰ of the phase paragonite from the experimental data presented above and those obtained from the equilibria of the reaction paragonite=albite + corundum + H₂O (Chatterjee, 1970), agree within the limits of uncertainty. This prompts the idea that Zen's (1969) suggestion of a possible error of approximately 7 kcal in G _f,298 ⁰ of the Al₂SiO₅ polymorphs may in fact be due to an error of similar magnitude in G _f,298 ⁰ of corundum.A best estimate of S ₂₉₈ ⁰ , H _f,298 ⁰ and G _f,298 ⁰ of paragonite based on these considerations yield: S ₂₉₈ ⁰ : 67.61±3.9 cal deg^–1 gfw^–1 H _f,298 ⁰ : –1411.4±2.7 kcal gfw^–1 G _f,298 ⁰ : –1320.9±4.0 kcal gfw^–1 These numbers will be subject to change when better thermochemical data on corundum and albite are available.In medium-grade metamorphic rocks the assemblage paragonite + quartz is commonly found in stable coexistence with such other phases as muscovite, staurolite, andalusite, kyanite, but not with cordierite or sillimanite. However, the assemblage paragonite-sillimanite has been reported to be stable in the absence of quartz. All these petrologic observations can be explained on the basis of the stability data of the phases and phase assemblages concerned.  相似文献   

The reaction enstatitess+sillimanite ⇌ sapphiriness+quartz in the system MgO-Al2O3-SiO2     

N. D. Chatterjee  W. Schreyer 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1972,36(1):49-62

The univariant pressure temperature curve of the reaction aluminous enstatite solid solution+sillimanitesapphirine solid solution+quartz was determined experimentally in the pressure range between 12 and 20 kb. It is defined by four reversals at 15 kb, 1140°+10°C; at 1190°C, 15.9±1 kb; at 1300°C, 17.2±1 kb; and at 1400°C, 18±1 kb. Among the coexisting phases the Al-content of the enstatites increases strongly, with rising temperatures and pressures, up to values approaching that of pyrope composition, whereas the Al-content of the sapphirine solid solution appears to increase only slightly. Concomitantly, the sillimanites, most probably of invariant composition, exhibit growing Al/Si-disorder. These compositional and structural variations, in addition to the changing stoichiometry of the reaction equation, cause the progressively decreasing positive dP/dT slope of the equilibrium curve. — The assemblage sapphirine + quartz found in natural granulites is indicative of conditions of water pressure much lower than total pressure.  相似文献
