DMPQ-What is shale gas? Explain its composition and outline potential reserves in India?

Shale gas refers to natural gas that is trapped within shale formations. Shales are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that can be rich sources of petroleum and natural gas. Over the past decade, the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has allowed access to large volumes of shale gas that Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube were previously uneconomical to produce.  … Read more DMPQ-What is shale gas?

DMPQ-Subtropical Jet streams. (GEOGRAPHY)

The sub-tropical jet stream is produced by the earth’s rotation (Coriolis force) and temperature contrast between tropical and sub – tropical regions.At the equator, the rotation produces greatest velocity in the atmosphere. As a result, the rising air which spreads out northwards and southwards, moves faster Subscribe on YouTube than the latitudes over which it is blowing.It is … Read more DMPQ-Subtropical Jet streams.

DMPQ- What is cyclone? How the naming of tropical cyclone is done in Indian ocean?

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names, including hurricane, tropicalstorm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone.Tropical cyclones are named to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the … Read more DMPQ- What is cyclone?

DMPQ- Frontal Cyclones.

The systems developing in the mid and high latitude (35° latitude and 65° latitude in both hemispheres), beyond the tropics are called Frontal Cyclones or Wave Cyclones.According to polar front theory, the warm-humid air masses from the tropics meet the dry-cold air masses from the poles and thus a polar front is formed as a surface … Read more DMPQ- Frontal Cyclones.
