Weather, Climate, and Climatic Elements for GSI, CSIR NET, and GG GATE Exam

Weather, Climate and Climatic Elements Weather is the instantaneous state of the atmosphere, or the sequence of the states of the atmosphere as time passes. The difference between climate and weather is usefully summarized by the popular phrase “Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get.” Weather and climate are meteorological terms that […]

Terrestrial Radiation and Heat Balance: Key Concepts for GSI NET and GATE Exam

Terrestrial Radiation and Heat Balance: Key Concepts for GSI NET and GATE Exam

Terrestrial Radiation The absorption of solar radiation raises the temperature of the earth’s surface and atmosphere. The radiation emitted from the land and water surfaces of the earth is long-wave radiation, unlike the short-wave radiation it receives from the sun. The earth’s average temperature approaches 294 Kº, and it emits long-wave radiation within the range

Solar Energy and the Solar Constant

Solar Radiation and Its Impact on Earth’s Weather for GATE, NET, and GSI Exams

Solar Radiation The weather results from the interaction of solar radiation with the earth’s atmosphere and surface. Earth’s rotation and revolution explain the changing elevation of the sun, along with the latitudinal and seasonal variations in day length, receipt, and escape of radiation, which together affect weather conditions. The Sun as an Energy Source The

Earth – Sun Relationship

Earth-Sun Relationship: Rotation, Revolution, Solstices, and Seasons Explained for GATE, NET, GSI Exams

Earth-Sun Relationship General Division of Seasons Generally, the division of the year into seasons varies with latitude. In middle latitudes, the year is divided into ‘autumn’, ‘winter’, ‘spring’, and ‘summer’. The terms ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ are not as significant in the tropics. Instead, division is usually made in terms of rainfall, such as the ‘rainy

What is alumino silicate?

An aluminosilicate mineral is a type of mineral that contains both aluminum and silicon in its chemical composition. Sillimanite(Al2SiO5)(Orthorhombic) Sillimanite is a high-temperature polymorph of Al2SiO5 and occurs as colourless or white acicular to fibrous crystals in high grade metamorphosed pelitic rocks. It has high relief and straight extinction. a 1.653—1.661 b 1.657—1.662 g 1.672—1.683

Angular Unconformity

असंगति और उसके चार प्रकार

असंगति (विषम विन्यास) (Unconformity) दो अलग आयु की चट्टानी परतों के बीच एक erosional या non-depositional सतह है जो geological time gap को दर्शाती है। मुख्य 4 प्रकार हैं: (1) कोणीय असंगति – tilted पुरानी परतों पर horizontal नई परतें, (2) विच्छेदन असंगति – parallel परतों के बीच erosional break, (3) पैरा असंगति – sedimentary
