The absence of a book of exercises in geology has been deeply felt by Indian students. This book is an attempt to fill the lacuna. It provides basic training in the principles of geology along with some bare facts on many topics. Although the method adopted is elementary, any student completing the exercises will profit by getting many facts and ideas permanently imbedded in his or her mind. This book shows how with simple arithmetic and easily drawn graphs, a student can find the age of a local rock, trace the drift of India, estimate the rise in the height of the Himalayas and even locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake, thus opening his eyes to the fascination of geology.
