Explain latitude and longitude of India also explain their construction |
|
Answer» LATITUDE is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, RUN east–west as circles PARALLEL to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth. India is situated north of the equator between 8°4' to 37°6' north latitude and 68°7' to 97°25' east longitude with a total area of 3,287,263 square kilometres (1,269,219 sq mi). India measures 3,214 KM (1,997 mi) from north to south and 2,933 km (1,822 mi) from east to west. It has a LAND frontier of 15,106.7 km (9,387 mi) and a coastline of 7,516.6 km (4,671 mi). |

The precious resource of land is under threat of degradation 100words |
|
Answer» 1. Excessive Population Pressure on Land: India’s population of over 1000 million people is more than that of the whole world prior to the Industrial Revolution. 2. Deforestation: India loses 1.3 million hectares of forests per year. One of the major causes of desertification is the cutting down of trees. According to the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), India had less than 11.4% of area under forest as per the 1992 observation. But the more recent satellite pictures show that the forest cover is now less than 10%. 3. Erosion: Loss of vegetative cover has made land more susceptible to erosion. Agents of erosion like wind and water have left vast tracts of land barren. Water erodes top soil to an extent of around 12,000 million tonnes (mt) per annum. The loss of top soil represents a permanent depletion of the resource base. The annual loss caused by the erosion of top soil through water comes to Rs.12,000 Crores. 4. Over-Irrigation: Big irrigation projects no doubt have brought prosperity to millions of farmers. But, due to over-enthusiasm, many farmers have resorted to successive cropping and over-irrigation, thereby leading to water-logging and consequent salinisation and alkalinisation. This situation mainly arises due to poor drainage. 5. Floods and Droughts: It is ironical that in India both floods and droughts occur regularly and alternately. According to the National COMMISSION on Agriculture (1976), there are three types of drought: (i) Meteorological drought caused by a marked decrease in rainfall. ADVERTISEMENTS: (ii) Hydrological drought caused by prolonged meteorological drought and its consequent effects on water sources. (iii) Agricultural drought caused by insufficient rainfall to support crops. 35% of the land is drought-prone and receives rainfall of less than 750 mm. Another 18.5% of the land receiving 750-1000 mm. falls in the transitional zone. The remaining 46.5% receiving rainfall of over 1000 mm. falls under the humid zone. The impact of drought LEADS to shortage of fodder, shortage of drinking water, loss in agricultural production, and a general decline in living standards. ADVERTISEMENTS: Drought is both man-made and environment-induced. Man has played a key role in the creation of drought-prone areas due to his over-exploitation of natural resources like forests, degradation for grazing lands, excessive withdrawal of ground water, silting of tanks, rivers, etc. Floods, on the other hand, are caused by heavy rains in a very short period. Each situation could have been altered had there been good vegetal cover. Vegetation helps in reducing run-off, increasing infiltration and reducing soil erosion. The land area prone to floods has doubled from 20 million hectares to above 40 million hectares in the last ten years. 6. Grazing: India possesses an area which is just a fortieth of the total land area of the world supporting 197 million cattle, and ranking first in the world for cattle population. To support such an immense cattle population we have only 13 mha. as pasture land. This has LED to serious problems as animals have encroached into forest lands and even agricultural lands. Due to lack of green fodder, animals are pushed to the fringes of reserve forests and are thus destabilising the forest vegetation. ADVERTISEMENTS: Land degradation due to overgrazing leads to desert like conditions which, in turn, reduce animal productivity and increase the economic pressure on human beings who depend on animals for their livelihood. Grazing would not be a problem if the dung of the animals is left as fertilizer. Unfortunately, it is removed to be used as fuel, to be sold to intensively farmed areas, etc. 7. Pollution: Pollution of land is caused by disposal of solid waste, REFUSE from domestic, industrial and agricultural sectors. Industrial wastes are: (i) Chemical RESIDUES (ii) Fly ash from thermal power stations (iii) Plastics (iv) Rubber (v) Glass (vi) Discarded Metal Agricultural residues are: (i) Pesticides (ii) Fertilisers Another major source of pollution not known to the general public is the creation of derelict land due to mining. Roughly 0.8 mha of land in India are despoiled due to open or surface and underground mining activities. Though this problem is highly location-specific and restricted to remote areas, it necessarily warrants attention in terms of wise remedies of land. Somewhere someone is affected due to mining, and reclamation of such derelict land. |

How is noon time the same at any given longitude across the earth? |
|
Answer» That is DUE to the tilt of Earth’s rotational axis with respect to the PLANE of its orbit around the SUN. The only times when SUNRISE or sunset occurs at the same time along the entire length of a line of longitude is at the equinoxes. From the March equinox until the September equinox, the farther north you go along a line of longitude, the earlier the sunrises are and the later the sunsets are since the northern hemisphere is TILTED toward the sun during that period. From the September equinox until the March equinox, the farther south you go along a line of longitude, the earlier the sunrises are and the later the sunsets are since the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun then. |
