Summary
Santiniketan and its surroundings exhibit unique geological characteristics, such as red soil with ravine-like formations along the River Kopai, which significantly influence topographical features. The study reveals that regional geomorphology is shaped by underlying geological structures, demonstrated through Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and spatial integration of morphogenetic aspects. This relationship between geological conditions and topography provides critical insights for understanding landscape ecology in the region.
