The term Tsunami comes from the Japanese language and means harbour wave. Tsunamis are seismic waves that are caused by earthquakes which travel through water. An earthquake that is too small to create a tsunami by itself may trigger an undersea landslide quite capable of generating a tsunami. Tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth’s crust can occur at plate boundaries. Although often referred to as ‘tidal waves’, a tsunami does not look like the popular impression of ‘a normal wave only much bigger’. Instead, it looks rather like an endlessly onrushing tide which forces its way around and through any obstacle. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal areas. The sheer weight of water is enough to pulverise objects in its path, often reducin...

Environment is in danger and so life and its quality. Several factors like population explosion, industrial and technological developments in the last 200 years have done immense harm to environment which supports life and growth. Many species of plants and animals are already extinct and many more are on the road of extinction. Pollution has become a major problem of the present day society. There is too much addition of polluting substances to the environment causing a great imbalance in the elements of atmosphere. This imbalance in biosphere has not only deteriorated the quality of life but has also threatened its very survival. Environment and life are two very unique things found only on the planet earth. These make the earth the only living planet known so far. Environment and life are two aspects of the same coin. If environment is affected, life cannot remain unaffected and immune. As such, environmental pollution is a matter of global concern and needs global remedy. It is a t...

In this modern-day lifestyle the fuel has become a necessity for all human beings. We use fuel to fulfill our various needs like cooking, manufacturing, to produce building material and many more. Moreover, in the last one or two decade, we have started depending on fuel so much that it has become our basic necessity. So, ultimately we are dependent on fuel either we like it or not. What is Fossil Fuel? It is the fuel that we use for our consumption. It is made up of dead remains and fossils of animals and plants that are buried deep inside the surface of the earth. Also, it forms under extreme environmental pressure and heat. Besides, it is found deep inside the surface of the earth. The LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), Petrol, diesel, kerosene, wood, coal, and natural gases are all fuels. Since the dawn of industrialization, the amount and speed of consumption of fuels have increased many folds. Most of the industries run and function by consum...

Afforestation refers to the planting of trees in a barren land to create a forest. People often confuse this term with reforestation. However, they are two very different things. Reforestation refers to the specific planting of trees in a forest whose trees are already decreasing. Therefore, reforestation is essentially enhancing the number of trees. And afforestation is basically creating a whole new forest. Mother Earth has constantly faced difficulties due to human activities. For instance, the exploitation of natural resources, overpopulation, pollution, and deforestation damages the earth severely. Therefore, measures like Afforestation are practiced to prevent further damage. Importance of Afforestation The world is constantly evolving and so are the pollution levels. The carbon emission in cities is reaching new heights every day. As more and more industries are being set up, larger areas of forests are being cleared up. The setup of these facilities, thus, gives rise t...
