1. Plants are autotrophs. Naturally plants are the prime producers of food for all the organisms. If there were no plants there would be no food for organisms. 

2. Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere by photosynthesis that will be taken up by all the animals.

Societies can play a significant role in environmental protection by creating awareness and educating people about the need to conserve and manage natural resources. Social and individual consciousness if carefully graded is a step to transformation.

The Environment and Society specialization within the Geography major provides students with an understanding of the reciprocal relationships between social and environmental processes. Environmental geographers are concerned with how human beings use the earth and how humans impact the environments in which they live.

Normally, there are 366 days in a leap year.

A leap year consists of 366 days. During leap years, February will have 29 days instead of 28 days.

A leap year is a calendar year containing one additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.

• During leap year, the February has 29 days instead of 28 days in normal year or non leap year.
• There are 366 days in a leap year.
• In a non leap year there are 365 days.

The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic). Greenhouse gases have different chemical properties and are removed from the atmosphere, over time, by different processes.

Dissolved oxygen in water is very important for aquatic life. Eutrophication is the processes responsible for the reduction of dissolved oxygen in the water.

The average revenue curve under monopolistic competition will be Relatively.

(a) Develop heavy Industries

A market has the following characteristic features:

1. Buyers and sellers of a commodity or a service. 

2. A commodity to be bought and sold. 

3. Price agreeable to buyer and seller. 

4. Direct or indirect exchange.

Their body is covered with a tegument, a peculiar kind of epidermal arrangement in which the main cell bodies are deep, separated from the cytoplasm that lies next to the exterior by a layer of muscle, but connected to the exterior layer by cellular processes. The exterior layer is syncytial, which means that it is continuous, not broken by cell membranes. The tegument lacks cilia in adults. They are characterised by one or two suckers. Their muscular, excretory, and reproductive systems are nearly complete.

1. Each seller is fully aware of his rival’s motive and actions. 

2. Both sellers may collude, (they agree on all matters regarding the sale of the commodity). 

3. They may enter into cut – throat competition. 

4. There is no perfect differentiation. 

5. They fix the price for their product with a view to maximising their profit.

1. Economic development of a country particularly depends on the process of Industrialisation. 

2. At the time of Independence, India inherited a weak and shallow Industrial base. 

3. Therefore dining the post-Independence period, the Government of India took special emphasis on the development of a solid Industrial base.

Wastes of Monopolistic Competition: 

Generally there are five kinds of wastages under monopolistic competition.

(I) Idle capacity:

1. Un – utilized capacity is the difference between the optimum output that can be produced and the actual output produced by the firm. 

2. In the long run, a monopolistic firm produces delibourately output which is less than the optimum output that is the output corresponding to the minimum average cost. 

3. This leads to excess capacity which is actually as waste in monopolistic competition.

(II) Unemployment:

1. Under monopolistic competition, the firms produce less than optimum output. 

2. As a result, the productive capacity is not used to the fullest extent. 

3. This will lead to unemployment of human resources also.

(III) Advertisement:

1. There is a lot of waste in competitive advertisements under monopolistic competition.

2. The wasteful and competitive advertisements lead to high cost to consumers.

(IV) Too many varieties of Goods:

• The goods differ in size, shape, style and colour. A reasonable number of varieties would be sufficient.

(v) Inefficient firms: Under monopolistic competition, inefficient firms charge prices higher than their marginal cost. Efficient firms cannot drive out the inefficient firms.

Mineral Resources in Tamil Nadu:

1. Tamil Nadu has a few mining projects based on Titanium, Lignite, Magnesite, Graphite, Limestone, Granite and Bauxite. 

2. The first one is the Neyveli Lignite Corporation that has led development of large industrial complex around Neyveli in Cuddalore district with Thermal Power Plants, Fertilizer and Carbonisation plants. 

3. Magnesite mining is at Salem from which mining of Bauxite ores are carried out at Yercaud, and this region is also rich in iron ore at Kanjamalai.

4. Molybdenum is found in Dharmapuri, and is the only source in the country.

1. Formula =TC / x

2. Average cost function = 60 / x + 10x / x + 15x² / x

3. Average cost = 60 / x + 10 + 15x

It is the addition or the increment made to the total product when one more unit of the variable input is employed . In other words, it is the ratio of the change in the total product to the change in the units of the input. It is expressed as

Where, MP = ∆TP/∆N

Where, MP = Marginal Product

∆TP = Change in total product

∆N = Change in units of input

It is also expressed as

MP = TP[n] – TP [n – 1]

MP = Marginal product

TP [n] = Total product of employing nth unit of a factor.

TP [n – 1] = Total product of employing the previous unit of a factor, that is, [n – 1]^th unit of a factor.

1. Nature of the commodity: Durable goods can be stored for a long time. So, the producers can wait until they get a high price. Once they get higher price, larger supply is possible. The elasticity of supply of durable goods is high. But perishables are to be sold immediately. So perishables have low elasticity of supply.

2. Cost of production: When production is subject to either constant or increasing returns, additional production and therefore increased supply is possible. So elasticity of supply is greater. Under diminishing returns, increase in output leads to high cost. So elasticity of supply is less.

3. Technical condition: In large scale production with huge capital investment, supply cannot be adjusted easily. So elasticity of supply is lesser. Where capital equipment is less and technology simple, the supply is more elastic.

4. Time factor: During very short period when supply cannot be adjusted, elasticity of demand is very low. In short period, variable factors can be added and so supply can be adjusted to some extent. So elasticity of supply is more. In long period, even the fixed factors can be added and hence supply is highly elastic.

A high pressure control is a switch which controls the high side pressure within certain range by controlling the working of compressor motor. In this way it prevents the overload conditions on the motor due to excessive high head pressure. High pressure bellow of the control is connected with high side of the compressor by mean of copper tubing.

Wages are divided into four types.

1. Nominal Wages or Money Wages: Nominal wages are referred to the wages paid in terms of money. 

2. Real Wages: Real wages are the wages paid in terms of goods and services. Hence, real wages are the purchasing power of money wages. 

3. Piece Wages: Wages that are paid on the basis of quantum of work done. 

4. Time Wages: Wages that are paid on the basis of the amount of time that the worker works.
