Land on the move
Landslides frequently occur in about 15 per cent of India’s mountainous terrain, especially affecting the states of Sikkim and Mizoram.
A vortex of winds-Cyclones
Cyclones are areas of closed spiralling winds initiated by atmospheric disturbances around low pressure areas over the Indian Ocean, often resulting in destructive landfalls in the sub-continent. The air circulates inward in an anticlockwise direction in the northern and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
A Sea Wave Named Tsunami
Tsunamis are generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Recognising the imperative to put in place an early warning system for the mitigation of such disasters that cause severe threat to nearly 400 million of the Indian population that live in the coastal belt the Ministry of Earth Sciences has established a tsunami warning centre at Hyderabad.
