Abstract |
|
The radiometric method is very helpful for geological mapping but only very near surface detections. In this study radiometric measurements were carried out in Panyam mandal of Kurnool Dist., Andhra Pradesh, India, along the two profiles which are covered in three different formations. Both profiles show clear picture of different anomalies due to different formations. The first profile Panyam to Gorakallu covered on Panyam quartzites and Koilakuntla limestones which showed low anomalies < 3 μR/hr. Another profile Madduru to Venkatapuram profile totally covered in Nandyal shales which exhibit high anomalies >3 μR/hr. The low anomalies < 2 μR/hr observed at soil covered areas. |
