The textbook ‘Introduction to Lithosphere and Atmosphere’ is written
for the students of F. Y. B.Sc. Sem. I and II. It gives us great pleasure
to handover this textbook to the students and the teachers. We hope the
students and teachers will welcome this book by heart. The entire book is
prepared with the help of computer. All figures in the book are drawn by the
authors themselves and therefore, the book has become more illustrative
and informative. All concepts in the book are explained with the help of
figures. This is its special feature. There are in all 84 figures. As the
figures are drawn by the authors themselves, the content desplayed in the
figures has become more precise and accurate. The entire text is arranged
in such a way that the students can perceive the knowledge very easily.
For creating more interest of Physical Geography among the students,
large number of illustrations and examples are taken from the Country and
from the local areas. At the end of every chapter large number of objective
and long answered questions are given. For the selfstudies of the students
these exercises will become helpful.
Physical Geography is studied in all the universities and even it is a
subject for M. P. S. C., NET, SET examinations. We hope the present book
will be helpful to the students preparing for such examinations.
