The Study of Peshawar Plain Alkaline Igneous Province | Geology Field Work - Swat Day #1 | RKA

The Study of Peshawar Plain Igneous Province | Geology Field Work - Swat Day #1 | University of Peshawar | Rashid Khan Afridi - (BBAIB)
The purpose of trip to Swat Field Work is to explore and study the geology of Plain Igneous Province , Ambela Granite Complex, its characteristics, discovery, identification and exploring the different techniques used in identification.
The Peshawar Plain alkaline igneous province is a geological region located in northwestern Pakistan, specifically in the Peshawar Plain area. It is characterized by the presence of alkaline igneous rocks, which are formed from magma that is relatively enriched in alkali metals such as potassium and sodium.
The province consists of a series of volcanic and intrusive rocks that were emplaced during different periods of geological history. These rocks are typically alkaline in nature, meaning they have a higher alkaline content compared to other types of igneous rocks such as granites or basalts.
The study of the Peshawar Plain alkaline igneous province involves various aspects of geology, including petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology. Petrology focuses on the classification, composition, and textures of the rocks, while geochemistry examines the chemical composition and isotopic signatures of the rocks to understand their origin and evolution. Geochronology involves determining the ages of the rocks using radiometric dating techniques.
Regarding the stratigraphy on the south of the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT), it's important to note that the Main Mantle Thrust is a major geological fault in the region. It marks the boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate and is associated with the ongoing collision between these two tectonic plates. The thrust faulting has resulted in the uplift and deformation of the rocks in the region.
To study the stratigraphy south of the Main Mantle Thrust, geologists would analyze the layers of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks in the area. This involves mapping the different rock units, describing their lithology (physical characteristics), and determining their relative ages. The relative ages can be determined by studying the principles of stratigraphy, such as the law of superposition and the principle of cross-cutting relationships.
By understanding the stratigraphy of the region, geologists can reconstruct the geological history of the area, including the sequence of events, the timing of rock formation, and the tectonic processes that have shaped the landscape. This information is crucial for understanding the geology, geodynamics, and geological hazards in the region.
The geology field work is no less than amusement trip or picnic as all our classmates and friends gather together and enjoy the trip along with study. We spent two days in a Swat. This is the most enjoyable journey and memorable trip with friends so far in Peshawar University.
