Abstract

The detailed and critical observations of the earth and its changing faces have become very essential now a days so as to need to clear understanding on the natural resources of the planet earth, modern geologic process and their control over natural resources, environment and natural disasters. In really geosystem anomalies clearly indicate that active tectonic is going on. Lineaments, geomorphology, drainage and structural trend lines using the remote sensing tools and find out the various geosystem parameters and also identifying of geosystem anomalies. The geosystem dynamics plays a major role in the earth system activities. It is a major criteria in the every study such as mineral, groundwater exploration etc.
