Abstract
Abstract Radioelements deposit (uranium, thorium and potassium) were found to be influenced by geological bedrock compositions and their response varies from place to place. In this study, two radiometric surveys (ground and airborne) were carried out to investigate the possible relationship in the response of radioelements deposit to the geological composition of a bitumen rich area in Ogun State, Nigeria. Regression analysis was adopted to establish the empirical mathematical relation that exists between the two surveys. With this, the correlation between the two surveys was deduced and interpreted in conjunction with the geological map of the study area. Coefficient of variation was also utilized to assess the level of homogeneity of the surveys carried out. A linear empirical mathematical model was established for the two surveys. The results revealed the coefficient of correlation (r) of 0.66407, 0.70398 and 0.68792 for thorium, uranium and potassium respectively. The p-values obtained at 95% confidence level for the three radioelements also indicated that there exists a significant relationship (p-value
