Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

Rainforest Geography All of the tropical rainforests grow in hot‚ humid places. All of the tropical rainforests are in Costa Rica‚ the Peruvian Amazon‚ the Brazilian Amazon‚ the Brazilian coast‚ Congo basin‚ Madagascar‚ Borneo‚ New Guinea‚ Tasmania‚ and Australia. The biggest rainforest is the entire Amazon region. The temperate rainforests and tropical rainforests are on both sides of the equator. The equator provides perfect conditions for lush tropical rainforests to grow. The Amazon region

Simple energy balance models are derived and used to illustrate the fundamental mechanisms behind variations of temperature with altitude‚ latitude‚ and season. The global annual mean energy balance is then presented and briefly discussed. Finally‚ the origins‚ thermodynamic structure‚ and composition of the atmosphere and ocean are summarized.

TROPICAL RAINFORESTS - WHERE AND WHAT ARE THEY? _______________________________________________ Tropical rainforests are found across the world between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer‚ 22.5° North and 22.5° South of the Equator. Almost half of the remaining tropical rainforest is found in tropical America‚ a bit more than a third in Asia and Oceania‚ and fifteen percent in Africa. Tropical rainforests cover approximately 8% of the world’s land surface - an area of approximately

direction and then reverse themselves. Northeast monsoon winds usually guarantee a warmer climate called amihan‚ which blows from November to April while the southwest monsoon locally known as habagat‚ blows in from May to October. This gives the country gusty winds that cause rains to most places. However‚ both of these winds carry rains and frequently disturb the stability of the country’s climate. It can be rainy in the one part while sunny and mild in the other. In the period starting December
