Introduction Tropical cyclones are powerful weather systems that develop over warm oceanic waters and significantly impact coastal and inland regions. These storms originate in tropical and subtropical regions, driven by oceanic and atmospheric conditions. However, as soon as they make landfall, they begin to weaken and eventually dissipate. This article explores the reasons behind the…
Introduction to Cyclones A cyclone is a large-scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. It is characterized by inward spiraling winds, which rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. Cyclones are classified into different types based on their formation…
Introduction The global environment is undergoing rapid and unprecedented changes due to factors such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, industrialization, and unsustainable resource exploitation. These changes have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, human societies, and economies. While technological advancements and globalization have improved living standards, they have also contributed to environmental degradation. This essay explores the…
Tropical cyclones are one of the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on Earth. These intense low-pressure systems are capable of causing widespread damage, with their impact often extending to large coastal areas and even affecting inland regions. Understanding their origin, structure, and associated weather is crucial for disaster preparedness and mitigation. This article will…
Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant global challenges, posing a threat to ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide. In India, states such as Uttar Pradesh, which has a large population and significant agricultural activity, are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a response to this, the State Action Plan…
Weather forecasting plays a crucial role in shaping the agricultural, economic, and infrastructural landscape of a region. In Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the most agriculturally significant states in India, accurate weather forecasting is indispensable for ensuring the safety of crops, managing water resources, and preparing for extreme weather events. The Meteorological Centre, Lucknow…
Introduction Temperate cyclones, also known as mid-latitude cyclones, are large-scale weather systems that typically form in the middle latitudes between 30° and 60° in both hemispheres. These cyclones are characterized by intense low-pressure systems and are responsible for much of the weather in temperate regions. Unlike tropical cyclones, which form over warm tropical seas, temperate…
A cyclone is a large-scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. It is characterized by high winds and heavy rain, and it forms over warm ocean waters.
Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional farming practice where land is cleared for cultivation by cutting down vegetation and burning it.
