Global warming is a phenomenon caused and intensified by humans as we have exploited the earth heavily for its resources and in doing so we have caused a large change in the characteristics of our planet and its climate. Global warming is caused foremost through the release of green house gases (GHGs) mostly through the burning of fossil fuels, the trend can be very clealry seen between CO2 levels and temperature increase over the last 150 years. The last 150 years have bshown such a huge change

1. Explain the relationship between continental drift and the formation of the Earth’s Oceans? The relationship between continental drift and the formation of Earth’s Oceans comes from the plate movement that occurred in Earth which is called plate tectonics. All of the landmasses were grouped together into one vast supercontinent called Pangea. Over millions of years the land started to split into many different countries and it also divided Panthalassa, the single great ocean that surrounded the

Assam is located on the eastern side of Himalayas. It comprises the Brahmaputra Valley, Karbi Anglong with an area of 78,440 km2. The Assam comes under tropical monsoon rainforest climate region . Assam is one of the areas which could not get benefitted from green revolution. Here farmers are still using TVs seeds in the large area. The yield (kg/ha) is quite low in this region also. The yield of TVs in 2003-04 is 1399 kg/ha which is increased to 2249 kg/ha in 2010-11 whereas for MVs yield was 2220
