The growth of population has had profound effects on the social structure, economic development, and politics of most countries. It is a key variable in human development theory. A notable effect of population growth is that it has caused global life expectancy to greatly increase. Population growth is the increase in the number of people

Population density is often used as a simple relative measure of how an organism responds to local conditions. If conditions are not good for the species, the density will be low (organisms will have died or moved out of the sampled area), whereas if conditions are good the density will be high (organisms will have

India is a country of great diversities and vast spaces. It extends from arid deserts to lush green forests and from mountains to fertile plains. The population has to be spread all over the country since the livelihood sources do not concentrate in one place. The ruggedness of the terrain also makes it difficult for

India’s landscape is rich with vast terrains, ranging from snow-capped mountains to golden sandy beaches. With its land-use statistics varying substantially between regions, India still has significantly high biodiversity and biodiversity conservation. Restriction on the construction and other developmental activities such as roads and dams, limiting agriculture to valleys and areas with moderate slopes, and

Landslides are caused by mechanical disturbances, in which large mixed mass of rock, earth, and debris move down a slope. Debris flows, also known as mudslides, are a common type of fast-moving landslide that tends to flow in channels. These are typically steeper slopes with less stable soils or bedrock, slow flows with high sediment

The tropical cyclone is a cyclonic windstorm having an organized vortex, formed over the warm sea surface. A cyclone generally occurs in the areas of coordinated wind flow around low-pressure. The tropical cyclone is a closed atmospheric circulation which consists of lower pressure, warm air supply, cloudiness, heavy rainfall and relatively calm air. Mostly tropical
