Introduction Our society is divided into two segments from time immemorial. One group favors women while the other roots for men. Let us discuss the concept of matriarchal vs patriarchal society in detail. What is a matriarchal society? A matriarch is defined as a woman who rules or dominates a family, group, or political administration, […]

The marine west coast climate is the climate zone that exists between 40° and 60° latitude at the western end of the continent in both hemispheres (northern and southern). This climatic region is surrounded by a Mediterranean climate in the south, a continental dry climate in the east, and a semi-arctic climate in the north.

Introduction The river is the most important of all geomorphic agents. Its work is widespread and covers a large area on the earth’s surface. In all types of landforms, rivers play an important part. The landforms created as a result of erosional action or depositional action of rivers are called fluvial landforms. What is Fluvial

Introduction Underground water does a three-fold action of erosion, transportation, and deposition like all other agents of change. A limestone area where underground water is more effective is known as ‘karst’ topography. It is named after a province of Yugoslavia. Karst formation process There are various physical, and chemical processes that take place while forming

Introduction In a valley, the water often gets lost through cracks and fissures in the bed. These are known as sinking creek and if their tops are open, they are called bogas. What is sinking creek? It is an erosional landform of karst topography. The surface of the karst plain looks like a sieve because

Introduction Soil is a dynamic natural body developed as a result of pedogenic processes during and after the weathering of rocks, consisting of minerals and organic constituents, possessing definite chemical, physical, mineralogical, and biological properties, having a variable depth over the surface of the earth and providing a medium for plant growth for land plants.

Introduction Soil pH tells us whether the soil is acidic, neutral, or alkaline depending upon the hydrogen ions present in it and this is done by soil pH test. It is an important parameter that influences different soil factors, affecting plant growth. The soil pH test helps us to determine the pH acidity or alkaline

Introduction Soil acidity is the result of excessive accumulation of H+ ions (Hydrogen) over OH– ions (Hydroxide) in the soil solution. Hence acid soil or acidic soil is rich in H+ In other words, acidity means a low percentage of base saturation. It happens when precipitation exceeds the evapotranspiration. Thus here, the leaching is prominent,

Introduction Coastal features are of various types of physical features situated along the coastline or shoreline of a sea or ocean. Coastal landforms are the result of dynamic interaction of processes like erosion, deposition, and other geological agents. They are formed either by the deposition of sediments along the coastline, forming depositional features, or the
