Pongal Pongal is a South Indian festival, which is related to the harvesting of crops. It is mainly a traditional festival of Tamil Nadu, but it is celebrated all over South India. It is also known as 'Thai Pongal' . Thai is a Tamil word, which is related to the names of Tamil months. The word Thai in Tamil language is related to the month of January. In the month of January, the people and farmers of the state harvest the crops grown on their land and a meal called Pongal is cooked to thank the sun and cattle for helping them in farming. That is why it was named Pongal. According to a famous proverb in Tamil language, it is said, 'As soon as the month of Thai starts, all good things will start happening and every problem will be solved in a good way.' It is similar to Lohri and Makar Sankranti celebrated in North India. | Volcanoes and Its Types  Pongal: Different Phases of the Festival Pongal is a four day festival.

Energy Crisis The situation arising out of lack of energy resources in a country is called Energy Crisis. Energy crisis can hinder the development of a country. There are various factors related to Energy Crisis. At present, due to Russia-Ukraine war, Russia-Europe tension and Russia-America tension, a situation of Energy Crisis may arise in Europe. If the energy supply to Europe is stopped in Russia, then this situation can become even more serious. It is necessary that in order to deal with the situation of energy crisis, we have to pay attention to the solutions of Energy Crisis in time. Volcanoes and It's Types Solution of Energy Crisis For the solution of Energy Crisis, we should follow the steps taken by the government from time to time. At the same time, we should see whether we get any lesson from the energy crises that occurred in the past or not? At the time of the Second World War and the oil crisis of 1973 or in the subsequent years, many such steps were taken, which re...

Mountains Mountain is an elevated portion of Earth's crust which has steep sides that shows significant exposed bedrock. It is different from plateau. Mountains are higher than hills with a limited summit area. They are formed by the action of Tectonic force , erosion and volcanic action . Mountain building is a gradual process and this process of mountain building continues for many ages. On this basis, the mountains have been divided into many parts. In this article, we will learn about Mountains and It's types. Mendelian Disorder Occur in Human Beings Types Of Mountain Mountains have been classified into several parts on the basis of their age, formation process etc. Read the classification given below carefully. On the Basis of Age (By Age) Precambrian Caledonian Hercynian Alpine or Tertiary Depending on the Method of Manufacture Folded Mountains Fault Mountains Volcanic Mountains Residual Mountain Rock And It's Types 1. On the basis of Age (By Age) Precambrian Caledo...

Plateau The relief of the secondary order extends over 1/3 of the earth's surface. Plateau is that slope, one of which is higher than the surrounding areas and has a steep slope. Its peak or upper part is flat or flattened. Its height has to be more flat than its height in its determination. Classification of Plateau According to Manufacturing Process According to Shape According to Erosion Cycle According to Climate According to Surface Area Proper Way to Hoist The National Flag and Its Misuse A. According to Manufacturing Process According to the formation of plateaus, they have been divided into two parts. Due to the Inherent Power Due to the Exogenous Force 1. Due to the Inherent Power Plateaus formed as a result of endogenous forces such as earthquakes, volcanoes etc. are kept under it. The formation of plate deformation plateaus mainly comes under this. Some Important ShapesFormed as a Result of Weathering and Erosion Main Forms of Plate Fault Plates a) Intermontane Plateaus ...

The main reason for the exogenous force is to create new topographies on the crust as well as bring changes in the structure of the figures. Under this, there are combined activities of weathering and erosion. Many figures are formed as a result of weathering and erosion , mainly U-shaped valley, V-shaped valley, alluvial Features include alluvial plume, loess, barkhan etc. Brief information is given below about the shapes made related to these activities. Important Shapes Kshiprika – The smaller structure than the waterfall is called Kshiprika. Alluvial feathers – The rivers coming out of the mountain parts spread the sediments far and wide in the shape of wings, as a result of which the Giripad plain or Terai is formed. Alluvial Cone – When the rivers leave behind the sediments of the rocks while coming from the mountainous parts to the flat plains, then the Alluvial Cone is formed. As a result of this, Bhabar region is formed. River Visarp – River Visarp is formed when the rivers...

Exogenous Forces Such actions by which a plane is established on the earth's surface are called exogenous forces. Exogenous forces try to remove inequalities created by endogenous forces. All those activities which try to bring the surface to normal rhythm are called processes of gradient balancing. By this, sea water, flowing water, glacier, wind etc. other activities come under it. Weathering and Erosion take place through these activities, due to which the sunken parts of the earth's crust are filled. As a result of weathering and erosion of exogenous forces, many shapes are formed, which mainly include U-shaped valley, V-shaped valley, alluvial wings, loess, barkhan etc.       Fold - Endogenous Force on Upper Surface of the Earth Their details are as follows – Weathering Physical or Mechanical Weathering Chemical Weathering Zoological Weathering Erosion Genetic Terminology - Genetics A. Weathering Weakening of rocks by physical or chemical processes and breaking ...

Volcanoes Volcanoes means the place or mouth through which the flame is emitted, that is, the place of the earth's crust, the hole or the hole from which lava, ash, gas Water vapor (erupt) occurs at a rapid or slow pace. are called volcanoes. In this process, activities are included from the exit of magma, lava or other substances from the interior of the earth to their cooling. The main reason for this is the pressure exerted on the crust by magma and hot gases. Green Hydrogen : A Source of Renewable Energy Type of Volcano Different types of substances have come out in volcanic action. These include everything from fine dust particles to large pieces of stone. Lava is main in its eruption, which is of acidic or alkaline type. Apart from this, different types of gases also come out from its excrement.  Volcano can be divided into different classes on the basis of its eruption, time period and fluidity etc., which are as follows – Depending on the fluidity of the lava Acidic Alkalin...

Earthquakes When tremor is felt on the surface of the earth due to some external or internal factor or endogenous force , it is called earthquake . It is also called earthquake in common language. By the way, the root cause of earthquake is the collision of tectonic plates . As a result of this collision, internal energy is suddenly released in the lithosphere of the earth, due to which seismic waves are generated on the surface of the earth and sudden vibrations are felt. These tremors or earthquakes are so destructive, that in a moment they can destroy the city of the city. It can arise due to both human and natural reasons. According to Reed's 'Elastic-Reinforcement Theory' - every rock has a capacity to bear stress. After that if the tension force becomes more, then the rock breaks and the broken part comes back to its place. In this way, there are incidents of faults in the rock and due to their colliding with each other, earthquakes occur. Lakes and Its Types - Lakes ...

Fault – Endogenous Force The relief of our earth is full of variations and contrasts. Due to fault-endogenous force on the upper surface of the earth, some fault valley, ramp valley have been formed. Somewhere there are deep trenches, and somewhere there is sea. In some places there are snow-filled glaciers and mountain ranges, where there is no trace of vegetation, then there are also marshy places, which are full of oddities and mysteries. Have we ever thought, what is the reason for all these differences? The answer is –  Internal Structure Of The Earth  Mainly two types of forces work on the earth, which are as follows – Endogenous forces – By these, disparities are created on the earth. Like – Earthquake, Tsunami, Long term force etc. Exogenous Forces – These are the plane stabilizing forces of the earth. Like – flowing water, sea water, glacier, wind etc. Genetic Terminology - Genetics 1. Endogenous Force As we said above, inequalities are created on the earth by endoge...

Fold - Endogenous Force The relief of our earth is full of variations and contrasts. Due to the fold-endogenous force on the upper surface of the earth, there are high mountains at some places, and flat plains at some places.
