During 1991-92‚ the state of Assam witnessed three floods in one year which has caused a heavy loss to the cultivation sector damaging a cropping area of around 3.5 lakh hectares. Therefore‚ flood control is very important and should be given foremost priority to save the crops in Assam. In spite

It is split up into 6 main climatic regions which are equatorial (region near the equator)‚ tropical‚ sub-tropical‚ desert‚ grassland‚ and temperate. The equatorial region is made up of rainforest and savannah and since it is near the equator typically experiences the hottest weather and a lot of rainfall. Because it has heavy

So when the lake water evaporates during dry periods the gypsum settles to the lakes bottom‚ memorializing that drought in the sediments.

Global warming and how thunderstorms and floods effect agricultural growth. Thunderstorms and flooding effect how and what we eat everyday because of the cost. Once global warming is under control‚ the cost to create food will be reduced immensely. This is important because of poverty that has been created because many different nations are not able to feed their people. The authors describe how the absence of water effects the growth and how drought effects feeding people in that area and the

About 60% of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of various intensities; over 40 million hectares is prone to floods; about 8% of the total area is prone to cyclones and 68% of the area is susceptible to drought.

Fracking injects a mix of water‚ "chemicals‚ sand‚ and other materials into layers of shale‚ a type of rock" (Source 1). The injection flows down a pipe that is going through the shale. To obtain the natural gas‚ the pressure in the pipe causes the rock around the pipe to crack‚ allowing natural gas to escape. Then‚ the gas flows

Natural disasters are considered events such as a flood‚ earthquake‚ or hurricane that causes a great deal of destruction and fatalities. Technical/Man-made disasters are the ones caused by humans. This type of disaster comes from our negligence‚ human error‚ and even intent. One disaster that stands out
