Process of Air-Sea Interaction

The direct physical contact of atmosphere, ocean & land enables the exchange of energy & matter.
                        Meteorology & Oceanographers studying air-sea interaction have therefore to deal with enormous scale of change & hundreds of factors that contribute in some way to exchanges between the atmosphere & the oceans.
Process of Air-Sea Interaction:
i.               Temperature: Temperature may transfer air to sea & also sea water to air. Due to this type of transfer air begins heating when heat input or cooling when release of heat to sea. Same process found in sea water.
ii.              Moisture: When dry air located over the sea it takes some moisture from the ocean water.
iii.            Salinity Transfer: Whenever wave breaks on the coast, small particles of saline water vapourished & after sometimes water can evaporate ultimate salt particle transfer from sea & moving away through air.

iv.            Friction: The wind transfer energy by friction drag of the air blowing over the water surface.

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...

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. In modern times, a continuous study of human relations with nature has begun. At present, the view of geographers has changed. The geographers has now human-centered. As a result, the relationship of nature with human beings & human with nature beings, is being studied in a systematic way. 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:                                             ...
