Causes of energy crisis

Energy crisis is any significant bottleneck in the supply of energy resource to an economy.
Causes of Energy Crisis:
(i).Over population: Demand of energy household or every industry or any country is increases due to over population. Higher population leads to higher shortage of energy resources.
(ii).Over consumption:Few developed countries of the world uses power resources in every sphere over consuming the resources like fuel, oil, running water, electricity etc. Because of over consuming of resource by certain section of society, the other sections of societies are not able to get the amount of resource that is required by them.
India Consumption
700kw
Global Consumption
1000kw
USA
7000kw
(iii)Aging infrastructure: Modern technology leads to less energy consumption. Old technology leads to high energy consumption. The aging infrastructure means more amount of energy for performing the same amount of work in compare to modern technology. Because of ageing infrastructure leads to draining the energy resources.
(iv).Industrial development & growing consumption: The supple of resources are limited & the amount of demands are more in a certain place. In that case the supply is divided into more number. For this, the number of demand facing shortage of energy.
(v).Market manipulation: The market manipulation holds the resources for some time till the prices of any commodity rise up. Then market manipulation selling that commodity at higher prices & they earn profit. For this reason, artificially energy crisis is created in the market.
(vi).severe weather: Severe weather like rainfall, storm etc leads to energy crisis. For example, electricity supply from Haldia to Nandakumar connects by electric grid. Due to heavy storm electricity grid when is broken, then contain facing the shortage of electricity.
(vii).Political turmoil: Political instability play the most important role for energy crisis. For example, 1973 oil crisis- caused by an OAPEC oil export embargo.

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India

Future scenario of Renewable Energy Resource in India: The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW ( gigawatts) from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from bio-power & 5 GW from small hydro-power. Source 2022 Target (GW) Solar 100 Wind 60 Bio-Power 10 Small Hydro-Power 5 Future Scenario of Solar Energy:       Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.       The country’s solar installed capacity reached 29.55 GW as of 30 June 2019.       India has become globally the lowest cost producer of solar power.       The Indian Government has increased the target of renewable energy capacity to 175 GW by the year 2022, which includes 100 GW from solar. Advantage: Advantage of using solar energy is its eco-friendly nature. It does not release CO 2  and o...

Different Types of Tide

Tides are periodic, short-term changes in the height of the ocean surface at a particular place caused by a combination of the gravitation force of the moon & sun & the motion of the Earth. Sparing Tides: When the moon, sun & earth are located along the same line, then the attraction power of the moon & sun is intense. For this high tide is created, this types tide is called sparing tides. Fig: Sparing Tide Neap Tides: When the sun & moon are at a 90° angle to the earth, then their rotation is reduced to earth. Because the moon & the sun do not draw the opposite direction, so the tidal velocity decreases. And its height is lower than the normal tide. That types tide known as neap tides. Fig: Neap Tide Tropical & Equatorial Tides: When the moon is perpendicular to the tropic of cancer, then the force of attraction is relatively high & created high tide. This tide occurs twice in a year. This types tide is known as tropical tides.  ...
