Is Rajya Sabha a permanent House?
Rajya sabha is called a permanent body because it cannot be dissolved by the president or any other person.lok sabha is not permanent member because it is dissolved after every five years.

How is upwelling important to fishermen?
Upwelling is important because it brings greater concentrations of dissolved nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, to the ocean surface. that way fish will go to the top of the water and eat the plankton making it much easier for fisherman to catch a quick bite. :) hope that helps
What is the South American Guarani Aquifer System?
An extremely large underground aquifer (supply of groundwater). It is estimated to be able to provide drinking water for the earth for at least 200 years, and some estimates are much higher (1600 years). Because some people predict water shortages in the near future, the management of the aquifer, and others like it, is a concern.
When limestone on the surface is dissolved by ground water it forms?
When limestone on the surface is dissolved by groundwater, it forms features such as caves, sinkholes, and disappearing streams, through a process known as karst topography. This occurs because limestone is a rock that can easily be dissolved by the slightly acidic nature of groundwater, creating these unique geological formations over time.
How is over pumping groundwater related to the formation of sinkholes?
The over pumping of ground water is leading to sinkholes because the suction is forcing the ground in. Also the loss of moisture in the ground of the pumping is keeping the ground from being stable.

Why is Florida prone to sinkholes?
Florida is prone to sinkholes because the state's underlying geology consists of limestone, which can dissolve over time due to the acidic nature of rainwater. When the limestone dissolves, it can create cavities underground that can eventually collapse, leading to sinkholes. Additionally, factors such as heavy rainfall, drought, and human activities like groundwater pumping can also contribute to sinkhole formation in Florida.
Why does groundwater have more dissolved substances than surface water?
Groundwater typically has more dissolved substances because it spends more time in contact with rocks and soil, allowing for more minerals to be dissolved. In contrast, surface water flows faster over the ground and may not have as much opportunity to pick up as many dissolved substances. Additionally, groundwater is often affected by underground sources like aquifers, which can introduce additional dissolved substances.
What type of bedrock would you expect to find in a region with caves and sinkholes?
Limestone bedrock is commonly found in regions with caves and sinkholes. Limestone is susceptible to erosion by slightly acidic groundwater, which can create underground caves and cavities over time. Sinkholes often form when the roof of a cave collapses, leading to the characteristic landscape features in such regions.
Why do sinkholes happen?
Sinkholes typically occur when underground rock or soil erodes due to the dissolution of soluble bedrock like limestone, resulting in the collapse of the surface layer. Factors such as heavy rainfall, groundwater pumping, or natural geological processes can contribute to sinkhole formation. Human activities like construction or mining can also exacerbate sinkhole development.
What can help a sinkhole?
Sinkholes may capture surface drainage for running or standing water, but may also form in currently high and dry locations. The state of Florida in the USA is known for having frequent sinkholes, especially in the central part of the state. The Murge area in southern Italy also has numerous sinkholes. Sinkholes can be formed in retention ponds from large amounts of rain. Sinkholes are usually but not always linked with karst landscapes. In such regions, there may be hundreds or even thousands of sinkholes in a small area so that the surface as seen from the air looks pock-marked, and there are no surface streams because all drainage occurs sub-surface. Sinkholes have been used for centuries as disposal sites for various forms of waste. A consequence of this is the pollution of groundwater resources, with serious health implications in such areas. Sinkholes also form from human activity, such as the rare but still occasional collapse of abandoned mines in places like West Virginia, USA. More commonly, sinkholes occur in urban areas due to water main breaks or sewer collapses when old pipes give way. They can also occur from the overpumping and extraction of groundwater and subsurface fluids. The Great Blue Hole, located near Ambergris Caye, Belize. Many sinkholes are also found in Northern Michigan. These are prominent in Alpena County in Northeast Michigan. In Lachine,Michigan there are five sinkholes that are found to be very deep , and within two miles of each other. Alpena's visitor information cites their sinkholes as an attraction for visitors to the area. In August 1998 a 16 year old Alpena boy survived a 200+ foot fall in an open sinkhole 3/4 a mile off of Leer road in Lachine, Michigan (The Alpena News 8-21-1998). A majority of sinkholes in Alpena are also found underwater. Many divers explore these on a regular basis. When sinkholes are very deep or connected to caves, they may offer challenges for experienced cavers or, when water-filled, divers. Some of the most spectacular are the Zacatón cenote in Mexico (the world's deepest water-filled sinkhole), the Boesmansgat sinkhole in South Africa, Sarisariñama tepuy in Venezuela, and in the town of Mount Gambier, South Australia. Sinkholes that form in coral reefs and islands that collapse to enormous depths are known as Blue Holes, and often become popular diving spots.

In the United States, the most damage from sinkholes tends to occur in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. The overburden sediments that cover buried cavities in the aquifer systems are delicately balanced by groundwater fluid pressure. The water below ground is actually helping to keep the surface soil in place. Groundwater pumping for urban water supply and for irrigation can produce new sinkholes in sinkhole-prone areas. If pumping results in a lowering of groundwater levels, then underground structural failure, and thus, sinkholes, can occur.
Is it usual for someone to die because of a sinkhole?
No, not at all. Most sinkholes are small.
Would groundwater be considered unstainable because of bacteria?
Yes, groundwater would be considered unstainable because of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
