⚠️ Cyclone Warnings🌪️🌪️🌪️Cyclone Amphan

ഉം പുൻ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റ്: ബംഗാൾ ഉൾക്കടലിൽ ന്യൂനമർദ്ദം ഇന്ന് വൈകുന്നേരത്തോടെ ചുഴലികാറ്റായി മാറും.

ശനിയാഴ്ച വൈകുന്നേരത്തോടെ അതിതീവ്ര ന്യൂനമർദ്ദത്തിലേക്കും തുടർന്നുള്ള 24 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ ചുഴലിക്കാറ്റിലേക്കും അതിശക്തമാകാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.

അടുത്ത 48 മണിക്കൂർ കേരളത്തിൽ ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട ശക്തമായ മഴയുണ്ടാകും.

അതേസമയം, തെക്കൻ ഇന്ത്യൻ ഉപദ്വീപിൽ അടുത്ത 4-5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ വ്യാപകമായ മഴ / ഇടിമിന്നലോടുകൂടിയ മിന്നലും കാറ്റും വീശും.

അടുത്ത 5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ കേരളത്തിലും, മെയ് 16 -17 മുതൽ തീരദേശ കർണാടക, ലക്ഷദ്വീപ് എന്നിവിടങ്ങളിലും ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ട കനത്ത മഴ പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കാം.

അടുത്ത 5 ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ വടക്കുകിഴക്കൻ സംസ്ഥാനങ്ങളിൽ വ്യാപകമായ മഴ പെയ്യാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.

II. Antiquity & Ancient Civilizations 1. Ancient Egypt (Pre-Classical) • Cosmology : Ancient Egyptians viewed the Nile as the center of the world, with existence based upon "the" river. • Geographical Knowledge : • Oases : Known to the east and west, considered locations of various gods (e.g., Siwa for the god Amon ). • Kushitic Region : Lay to the south, known as far as the 4th cataract . • Punt : A region located south a...

Building Topology in GIS, Data Query in GIS, Geoprocessing and Automation in GIS

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is more than a digital mapping tool. It is a comprehensive system for capturing, storing, managing, analysing, querying, and visualising spatial (geographic) and non-spatial (attribute) data . To maintain accurate spatial data and perform advanced analyses, GIS relies on three important concepts: Building Topology Data Query Geoprocessing and Automation These concepts ensure data integrity, efficient data retrieval, and automated spatial analysis , making GIS an indispensable tool in geography, environmental science, urban planning, disaster management, transportation, agriculture, and resource management. 1. Building Topology in GIS Topology is the mathematical and logical framework that defines the spatial relationships between geographic features such as points, lines, and polygons. It ensures that spatial data maintain correct geometric relationships even after editing or analysis. Simple Definiti...

Development of Health Geography

Health Geography (formerly Medical Geography ) is the branch of geography that studies the relationship between health, disease, environment, place, and healthcare systems . The discipline has evolved over more than 2,500 years through contributions from physicians, geographers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, and public health experts. The development of Health Geography can be divided into the following periods: Ancient Period Medieval Period Renaissance and Pre-Modern Period Nineteenth Century (Pre-World War Era) World War Period Post-World War Period Modern Health Geography 1. Ancient Period (5th Century BC – 500 AD) Characteristics Health closely linked with the natural environment. Diseases explained through climate, water, air, and seasons. No knowledge of microorganisms. Medical observations were descriptive. Major Concepts Environmental Determinism Disease Ecology Climate and Healt...

Nature and Scope of Geography

Geography is the scientific study of the Earth's surface, its physical features, human populations, and the interactions between people and their environment. The word Geography is derived from the Greek words Geo (Earth) and Graphien (to describe or write), meaning "description of the Earth." Modern geography goes far beyond description; it seeks to explain where phenomena occur, why they occur there, how they are spatially distributed, and how they change over time. Geography is regarded as a spatial science , an environmental science , and an integrative discipline because it bridges natural sciences, social sciences, and geospatial technologies. Nature The nature of geography refers to the characteristics and fundamental features that define the discipline. 1. Geography as a Spatial Science Terminology: Spatial Science A discipline concerned with the location, distribution, arrangement, organization, and interaction of phenomena in ...

geography as a science - place of geography in classification of sciences

Geography is the scientific study of the Earth , its physical features , human activities , and the relationships between people and the environment . It answers four basic questions: What is found? Where is it located? Why is it there? How does it interact with other places? Why is Geography Called a Science? Geography is a science because it: Observes natural and human phenomena. Collects and analyzes data. Uses scientific methods. Explains spatial patterns and relationships. Uses modern tools such as GIS , Remote Sensing , GPS , and Artificial Intelligence (AI) . Place of Geography in the Classification of Sciences Geography is unique because it belongs to more than one branch of science . Branch of Science Role of Geography Natural Science Studies landforms, climate, soils, water, vegetation, and ecosystems. ...
