India

India predominantly uses kilometers as the unit of measurement for distance. However, some older road signs may still display distances in miles in certain parts of the country.

India shares its borders with Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and Bangladesh. Of these land borders, India shares its longest one with Bangladesh. The border between Bangladesh and India stretches 4,096 km (2,545 mi) and is the fifth longest land border in the world.

The Yamuna River in India is often considered one of the most polluted rivers in the country due to high levels of industrial and domestic waste being discharged into it.

The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka was the first biosphere reserve established in India in 1986. It is recognized for its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, including tropical rainforests and grasslands.

a village that is not modern will:

-have no electricity

-no tv, music players, no mobiles, no Internet

-villagers work on farms and earn a living by working on their farm

-they eat less, just enough to survive and they do not eat for pleasure

-they eat what is grown on their farms and rarely buy food from shops

-they don't wear branded clothes such as nike

-they eat with their hands

-live in simple houses and don't need the best furniture

this is what villages used to be like, but now they have changed a lot, even now in villages you have tv, mobiles, big houses, nike clothes etc. this shows how globalisation has changed the world and even the changed the villages. how many villages will you find these days that are like the description i have given above, very few.

you could say a village is still not modern, if the village follows most of the things that i have listed above.

CHENNAI: For a city that has one of the most vulnerable coastlines in the country, here is more cause for worry: a major part of Chennai is seismically prone and is a `high hazard' earthquake area, according to a recent study by Anna University.

Carried out by the university's Centre for Disaster Mitigation and Management (CDMM), it calls for "seismic micro zoning" of the entire city. Also, new buildings should incorporate appropriate foundation designs and earthquake-resistant features.

Zonal classification

At present, Chennai, Coimbatore and Salem fall under Zone III of the Bureau of Indian Standards classification. As per the CDMM's microzonation profile, parts of the city such as areas in and around Adyar, Guindy, Vadapalani, Nungambakkam and Vyasarpadi may well fall within Zone IV (high to very high seismic risk).

"Chennai has been found to have loose soil till 15 metres of depth. Though the city is prone to quakes of the intensity of 5.8 on the Richter scale, the loose soil leads to seismic amplification in the range of 6.3 to 7.2 on the Richter scale," says S. Rajarathnam, Director, CDMM, who, along with another scientist, G.P. Ganapathy, conducted the study. The study analyses seismicity in areas with loose soil of varying depths, ranging from zero to three metres, three to six metres, six to nine metres, nine to twelve metres and twelve to fifteen metres.

At a depth of three metres, high seismic hazard areas were found distributed in the north and southwest and the mouth of the Adyar in east Chennai. The remaining areas were prone to moderate seismic hazard.

At a depth of six metres, parts of the Taramani-Tiruvanmiyur stretch and Indira Nagar fell under the `high seismic hazard' category. In central Chennai, `high hazard' areas were found in parts of R.A. Puram, Teynampet, Mylapore, Alwarpet, the Kodambakkam-Vadapalani belt, Chetpet, Egmore and the northeast of Thousand Lights. In the northwest, Anna Nagar West and Anna Nagar East were hazard prone areas. North Chennai was found to have the largest area of very high to high hazard prone areas in Vyasarpadi, Basin Bridge, Kondithope and George Town.

At nine meters depth, the high seismic hazard areas became linear and narrowed down to small areas in south Chennai, and the largest chunk was in the flood plain area. Hazard prone areas lay in Teynampet, Alwarpet, Mylapore, Gopalapuram, Royapettah and Thousand Lights.

At twelve-metre depth, high hazard areas were distributed in the central and western parts of the Cooum and Adyar flood plains. At fifteen metres, high hazard areas were in parts of West Mambalam, Nandanam, Mylapore, Saligramam and Alwarpet.

"The hazard can be nullified if foundations for new buildings penetrate the column of loose soil and rest on the hard rock surface below. Normally, multi-storeyed buildings are on safer ground as the foundation goes to fifteen feet. If medium-level buildings too have an appropriately deeper foundation, there is no cause for worry," the scientists say.

Italy and India are both located in the Northern Hemisphere, with Italy in Southern Europe and India in South Asia. Both countries have a varied geography that includes coastal regions, mountain ranges, and fertile plains. Additionally, they both have significant cultural histories and influence on global cuisine.

Agriculture was very important to early man after it occured because they didn't have to follow herds of animals anymore. They were able to settle into one spot and make houses and form villages and that is when animal domestication had began. They formed villages and soon government and they grew their own plants and if they needed meat they would walk right outside and perpare their meal because did have animals used for companionship and meals.

A.Continental regions can be very complex and difficult to study as a whole.

B.Some nations on a continent do not allow researchers to visit.

C.Certain regions of continents are not interesting to study.

D.Some regions of continents do not have a large enough population for studies.

In October 2009, flooding occurred across South India, it was one of the worst flood in the area in the last 100 years, killing 250 people and making 500,000 homeless.

The 2008 Indian floods affected most of India throughout 2008.

Flooding in Mumbai in July 2005 left over 700 dead. Some areas went under 5 m of water.

Assam has been suffering floods regularly since 1998.

The 2010 Leh floods occurred on 6 August 2010 in Leh, the largest town in Ladakh, a region of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. At least 193 people are reported to have died, five of whom were foreign tourists, after a cloudburst and heavy overnight rains triggered flash floods and mudslides. A further 200 people were reported missing and thousands more were rendered homeless after the flooding caused extensive damage to property and infrastructure.

The Himalayas in the north and the Hindu Kush in the northwest served as natural barriers that protected India from outside invaders. These mountain ranges made it difficult for invaders to cross into the Indian subcontinent, providing a natural defense against potential threats.

The value of 5 piastres is equivalent to approximately 4 Indian rupees.

Calcutta, also known as Kolkata, is located in the eastern part of India, specifically in the state of West Bengal. It is situated on the banks of the Hooghly River, which is a distributary of the Ganges River.

India is approximately one-third the size of the United States in terms of land area. India has an area of about 3.2 million square kilometers, while the United States has an area of about 9.8 million square kilometers.

The Tropic of Cancer is important because it marks the northernmost position at which the sun appears directly overhead at noon. It also defines the boundary of the tropics, influencing the climate and weather patterns of regions near it. Additionally, it has cultural and historical significance as a geographic reference point.

India is divided into nine pincode zones based on geographical regions. These zones are further divided into postal circles and regions for effective mail delivery.

A great circle is a circle on the surface of a sphere that has the same center as the sphere, while a small circle does not share the same center as the sphere. Great circles have the largest circumference of all circles on a sphere, whereas small circles have smaller circumferences. The equator is an example of a great circle on Earth, while lines of latitude other than the equator are examples of small circles.

The southern region of India, specifically the state of Kerala, has a shape that is somewhat similar to Chile due to its long, narrow strip of land bordered by the Arabian Sea on one side. Both Kerala and Chile have a similar geographical profile in terms of their elongated shape.
