Abstract:
The southwest coastal area of Sri Lanka covers a diversified tract of coastal
environment. It exhibits a high degree of geomorphologic complexity. In order to
study this classification of landforms in the area was made using aerospace survey
techniques. The available black and white (panchromatic) aerial photographs of the
scale 1: 20, 000 were interpreted.
The Geomorphological units were interpreted first on the basis of landsat images in
the laboratory and then the details were identified and analysed, using aerial
photographs
