            Cloud burst hit Kishtwar’s Honzar village in the upper reaches of the Jammu region on 28.07.2021(Wednesday).Seven people were killed and five in a critical condition, 17 people were rescued by the members of State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) and 35 were missing. There were chances of flash flood and landslips in parts of Jammu and Kashmir. In this blog we going to discuss what is cloud burst. Cloud burst:        Cloud Burst is a sudden, heavy rainfall in a small area that leads to violent floods and landslides. Cloud burst are caused by a phenomenal condition known as orographic lift.                        Cloud burst occurs near the mountain region because mountains are the only landforms near to the clouds the impact is much higher compare to other landforms. Clouds basically form due to the condensation of water vapour . Once clouds are formed the density of the...

  Origin of the Universe:           Before discussing how the solar system formed we have to know about the origin of the universe. The origin of universe is the origin of everything, multiple scientific theories and creation myths from around the world have try to explain it’s mysterious genesis. However the most widely accepted explanation is the Big Bang theory. Big Bang theory:    The Big bang theory states at that the universe began as a hot and infinitely dense point. Only a few millimeters wide it was similar to the super charged black hole.    About 13.7 billion years ago this tiny singularity violently exploded. And it is from the explosion this bang that all Matter, energy and time were created.   What happened next were two major stages of the universe’s evolution, called the radiation era and Matter era. They are defined by the key events that helped shape the universe              Ra...

  Outer planets:            Outer planets were called as gas giants (Jovian) planets, they are made primarily of gas, mostly hydrogen do not have solid surface. A space ship cannot land on it (but it can crash through its atmosphere). And the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. In this blog post we will discuss the geological facts of these gas giants. Jupiter:         Jupiter was the solar system’s first planet. Jupiter was the fifth planet in the solar system and the largest planet in the solar system. This giant does not have a solid core rather this one has a liquid core surround by a worldwide ocean of hydrogen and helium gases. Jupiter’s gaseous composition can be observed in its atmosphere about 44 miles thick the atmosphere is a canvas of strips and storms churning across the giant planet. Their colors range between shades of whites, yellows and reds all caused by the different chemical makeup of each area. Jupit...
