  • A Study on Inorganic Carbon Components in the Andaman Sea During the Post Monsoon Season
    OCEANOLOGICA ACTA ⋅ VOL. 24 – No. 2 A study on inorganic carbon components in the Andaman Sea during the post monsoon season Vedula V.S.S. SARMAa,b*, Pradip V. NARVEKARa a National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa 403 004, India b Cerege, Europole mediterranéen de l’Arbois, BP 80, 13545 Aix-en-Provence cedex 4, France Received 2 May 2000; revised 17 July 2000; accepted 27 October 2000 Abstract − Extensive data have been collected on the carbon dioxide system during the post monsoon season in the eastern Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea of the northeastern Indian Ocean. The vertical distribution of temperature and salinity in the eastern Bay of Bengal were similar to that in the Andaman Sea down to 700–800 m. Below 1200 m depth the salinity remained constant at 34.90 in the Andaman Sea whereas it decreased to 34.80 in the eastern Bay of Bengal. On the other hand, deep waters (> 1200 m) of the Andaman Sea were warmer than those of the Bay of Bengal by approximately 2°C. Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the subsurface waters were higher in the Andaman Sea than in the central Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea due to lower rates of regeneration. Total alkalinity, and pCO2 showed similar distribution patterns both in the eastern Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea up to a depth of 1000–1200 m. Below this depth, their concentrations were higher in the latter than compared to former due to warmer waters. Carbonate saturation depth with respect to aragonite was shallow (approximately 300 m) in the Andaman Sea whereas deeper waters were found to be under saturated with respect to calcite.

Physiography of India ● India lies in the northern hemisphere of the globe between 8o 4’ N and 37o6’ N latitudes and 68o7’ E and 97o25’ E longitudes. ● The southern extent goes up to 6o45’ N latitude to cover the last island of the Nicobar group of islands. The southern extreme is called Pygmalion Point or India Point. ● The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle part of India and crosses the eight states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram. ● The total land frontier of 15,200 km passes through marshy lands, desert, plains, mountains, snow-covered areas and thick forests. ● The maritime boundary of 6100 km along the main landmass which increases to 7516 km of the coastlines of Andaman-Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands are added to it. ● India commands a total geographical area of 32,87,263 sq.km which is roughly 0.57% of the area of the earth and 2.4% of the total area of the land hemisphere. ● India is the seventh-largest country of the world after Russia, Canada, USA, China, Brazil and Australia (all are mentioned in the descending order). ● India’s area is almost equal to the area of Europe (excluding Russia), one-third of Canada, one-fifth of Russia, eight times of Japan and twelve times of the United Kingdom. ● India has roughly a quadrangular shape. It measures about 3,214 km from north to south and about 2933 km from east to west, the difference between the two is just 281km.

  • List of Important Straits of the World
    List Of Important Straits Of the World What is Strait? A Strait is a naturally formed navigable narrow passage of water connecting two seas or two large water bodies. It is a slim channel of water that lies between two landmasses. Below is the table that shows important straits of the world. As 90% of the trade takes place through sea routes, these straits provide navigable routes to various ships. For example, Strait of Hormuz is very important as the world's one-third oil trade takes place through this strait. Straits are also used to generate tidal power using turbines, for instance, Cook's strait in New Zealand generates 5.6 GW of energy. Difference between Strait & Isthmus: • Many students get confused between a strait & an isthmus. • A strait lies between two land masses connecting two larger water bodies, while an isthmus lies between two water bodies connecting two larger land masses. List of Major Straits of the World Sr. No. Strait Name Remarks 1 PALK STRAIT It connects the Bay of Bengal with the Gulf of Mannar. 2 STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR It connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea and separates Gibraltar and Spain in the north from Morocco in the south. 3 DUNCAN PASSAGE It is a strait separating Rutland to the North and Little Andaman to the south. 4 NINE DEGREE CHANNEL This Channel connects Laccadive Islands of Kalapeni, Suheli Par & Maliku Atoll. 5 TEN DEGREE CHANNEL It separates the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. 6 STRAIT OF HORMUZ It lies between UAE and Oman on the south- west and Iran on the north-east.
