Types of Region

Mainly region are 3 types, these are- 
1.Formal Region:
The formal region is a geographical area, homogenous on the basis of selected geographical characteristics, viz.., topography, climate, natural vegetation etc., as in the case of natural regions.
Example: 
Physical region – Kashmir valley;
Climate region – Desert region.

2.Functional region:
Functional regions are recognized by organization, internal flows (of people, goods, services, communication) & the presence of a node or a focus.
Example: 
City region – Kolkata, Mumbai etc.;
Industrial region – Haldia, Durgapur;
Administrative region – Delhi.

3.Plnning region:
A planning region is segment of territory over which economic decisions are applied. The planning regions may be administrative or political regions such as state, district etc. So, planning regions coincide with administrative regions.
Example: 
Physical planning region – DVC region;
Cultural planning region – Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh.

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...

Types of Wave in Ocean Water

Definition: Undulation of surface water of sea by alternate crest & trough is called wave. Types: The classification of sea wave depends on different aspect. A.Based on wave frequency : Based on wave frequency, wave divided in to 6 types. These are discuss below- (i). Capillary wave: Capillary wave generated by surface tension. It’s almost flat wave. It’s wave length – 20 mm. It’s wave height – 2mm. It’s wave period – 0.001-0.1 second. (ii). Gravitational wave: Gravitational waves generated by wind. Such wave is swash. It’s waves length – 1000 m. It’s waves height – 50 m. It’s waves period – 0.10-100 second. (iii). Infra Gravitation wave: Infra gravitational waves generated as a result of their interrelationship between swash & backwash. (iv). (iv). Long Period Wave: Long period waves accumulated energy. These kind waves travel faster & can easily cope with local winds & currents. As a resulting in larger surf when it comes to average wave hei...
