    Geology of Bangladesh
    Presentation Outline

    ❑ Geological Time Scale


    ❑ Evolution of Bengal Basin in Terms of Plate Tectonics
    ❑ Structural Framework of Bangladesh
    ❑ Stratigraphy of Bangladesh
    The geologic time scale (GTS)
    is a system of chronological
    dating that relates geological
    strata (stratigraphy) to time.
    It is used by geologists,
    paleontologists, and other
    Earth scientists to describe
    the timing and relationships of
    events that have occurred
    during Earth's history.
    Sedimentary Basin: a kind of depression in the earth’s crust that
    may be filled later with sediments coming through the rivers from
    the surrounding highland or mountains.
    Stratigraphy: Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with
    the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification). It is
    primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic
    rocks.
    Stratigraphy has two related subfields: lithostratigraphy
    (lithologic stratigraphy) and biostratigraphy (biologic
    stratigraphy).
    Lithostratigraphic Units: Based 0n lithology or rock types;
    Supergroup, Group, Formation, Member, Bed
    Formation: a unit of layers of uniform rock types mappable at the
    surface and or traceable in the subsurface. A formation may be
    composed of single rock type like Sandstone or it may be
    composed of two or more rock types like alternating layers of
    Sandstone and Shale as long as it is distinctive compared to the
    unit above and below.
    Lithology: is the physical characteristics of sediments, rocks, and
    rock types present in a stratigraphic division of earth. Physical
    characteristics include colour, texture, grain size, and
    composition.

    Structural framework of Bengal Basin
    1. Stable Platform
    ❑Rangpur Saddle (Dinajpir Shield)
    ❑Bogra Shelf
    2. Deep (Geosynclinal Basin)
    ❑The Foldbelt
    ❑The Foredeep
    3. Hinge Zone
    Shield: is generally a large area of exposed Precambrian
    crystalline igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks that form
    tectonically stable areas.
    Platform: is a continental area covered by relatively flat or gently
    tilted, mainly sedimentary strata, which overlie a basement of
    consolidated igneous or metamorphic rocks of an earlier
    deformation. Platforms, shields and the basement rocks together
    constitute Cratons.
