ABSTRACT
Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) play a basic employment in creating topical maps and incorporating examination for mapping, overseeing and observing the regular assets. RS and GIS innovations have propelled another period in the field of connected topography and geomorphology. Geomorphology is the exploration of landforms present on the Earth's surface and their deliberate examination is vital and special keeping in mind the end goal to decipher them as marks of the past and continuous topographical procedures. The present examination intends to outline geomorphological highlights in the location of Visakhapatnam in perspective of visual picture interpretation system. The examination territory principally contains Moderately Weathered Pediplain(39%) trailed by Shallow Weathered Pediplain(21%) and Structural Hill (16%). These maps would be helpful in further invisitation for common Earth assets arranging, administration and basic leadership. Topical maps of geomorphology have been produced on satellite information. Standard visual clarification strategies as per the norms given by NRSC have been pursued and depicted on-screen digitations of highlights.
