Impact of Sea Level Changes

Impact of Sea Level Rise:
  1. Due to the rise of sea water, the various rivers are flooded.
  2. As a result of rise in sea level, almost 33 % of the world’s crop lands could be submerged.
  3. As a result of rise in sea level, the mouths of drainage basins will undergo submergence.
  4. As a result of rise in sea level, beaches, coastal dune & bars will be destroys.
  5. Due to sea level rise, the ecosystem of deltas will be damages.

Impact of Sea Level Fall:

  1. A fall in sea level may cause changes in the base levels of rivers.
  2. As a result of fall in sea level, deposited of substances produced by various corrosive processes.
  3. Sea level falling greatly regulates the spread of coral reefs.
  4. Water fall is one of the reasons for river’s regeneration.
  5. Deposition & erosion rates increased in the deep sea environments.

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...

Concept of determinism and possibilism

Determinism vs. Possibilism Introduction: No exact answer to this question has yet been found – to what extent do the natural elements of the world affect humans.

The opinion of geographers like Carl Ritter (1779-1859), Alexander Von Humboldt (1761-1859), Hackel, Bukle, Edmond Demolines, F. Ratzel, W.M. Davis, Huntington etc. geographers particularly important in this regard. And of these concepts, two important concepts are:                                             ...
