| 9 | What is the Messinian Event?
The Geological Institute of Israel recently uncovered a never-before-known underwater canyon near Cyprus that dates back to the Messinian Event.
About Messinian Event:
Also known as the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), the Messinian event was a geological event during which the Mediterranean Sea went into a cycle of partial or nearly complete desiccation (drying up).
It was one of the most severe ecological crises in the Earth's history.
The MSC began approximately 6 million years ago (MYA) and lasted until around 5.3 MYA.
How has it unfolded?
It began when the connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea was cut off.
This occurred due to a combination of lowered sea levels in the global oceans and a collision between the European and African plates that caused the land to lift.
Normally, there is much more evaporation than precipitation over the Mediterranean Sea. This means that much more water is leaving than entering the sea.
Without a significant source of water from the Atlantic Ocean, this led to the evaporation of much of the Mediterranean Sea.
A large underground canyon formed, and rivers made deep incisions into the bottom of the basin. This canyon was much larger than the Grand Canyon and had a depth of up to 2,000 metres (6562 feet).
As the water in the Mediterranean evaporated, the salt that was in the water was left behind and began to build up in layers on the floor of the Mediterranean.
Two major salts that were deposited on the floor were Halite and Gypsum. Some of the salt deposit areas were 800 metres (2,500 feet) deep.
However, the salt in the Mediterranean did not deposit on the floor as quickly as the water was evaporating. This means that whatever water was left in the Mediterranean became very salty.
This high amount of salt in the water (also known as salinity) caused the Mediterranean to become deadly to all marine life.
The Mediterranean continued to dry up until there was almost no water left.
It ended with the Zanclean flood when the Atlantic reclaimed the basin.
What is a Deep-sea Canyon?
Deep-sea canyons are steep-sided valleys cut into the seafloor of the continental slope, sometimes extending well onto the continental shelf.
These submarine canyons vary in size, shape, and morphological complexity; some were scoured by the flow of rivers during past low sea level periods, but most formed via other erosional processes, such as mudslides, debris flows, and turbidity currents. | 0 |
| 10 | What is the Nagoya Protocol?
Cameroon recently adopted the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing.
About Nagoya Protocol:
The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilisation (the Protocol) is a legally binding global agreement that implements the access and benefit-sharing obligations of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
It was adopted by the CBD in Nagoya, Japan, in October 2010 and entered into force on October 12, 2014, 90 days after the deposit of the fiftieth instrument of ratification.
It provides a transparent legal framework for the effective implementation of one of the three objectives of the CBD: the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilisation of genetic resources.
What are the benefits?
It establishes a framework that helps researchers access genetic resources for biotechnology research, development, and other activities, in return for a fair share of any benefits from their use.
This provides the research and development sector with the certainty they need to invest in biodiversity-based research.
Indigenous and local communities may receive benefits through a legal framework that respects the value of traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources.
What does the Nagoya Protocol cover?
It applies to genetic resources that are covered by the CBD, and to the benefits arising from their utilisation.
It also covers traditional knowledge (TK) associated with genetic resources that are covered by the CBD and the benefits arising from their utilisation.
Key Facts about the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD):
CBD, with 196 contracting parties, is the most comprehensive binding international agreement in the field of nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources.
It was opened for signing at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
It has three overarching objectives:
The conservation of biological diversity (genetic diversity, species diversity, and habitat diversity).
The sustainable use of biological diversity.
The fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilisation of genetic resources.
It covers biodiversity at all levels: ecosystems, species, and genetic resources.
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the highest political decision-making body of the Convention.
The Secretariat is based in Montreal, Canada.
To support the implementation of the CBD objectives, two internationally binding agreements were adopted within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The Cartagena Protocol, which was adopted in 2000 and entered into force in 2003, regulates the transboundary movement of living modified organisms (LMOs).
The Nagoya Protocol, adopted in 2010, establishes a legally binding framework for access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from their use. | 0 |

It is an online trading platform for agricultural commodities in India.
It was launched on April 14, 2016, and is completely funded by the Government of India.

It provides single-window services for all APMC-related services and information. This includes commodity arrivals, quality and prices, buy-and-sell offers, and e-payment settlements directly into farmer’s accounts, among other services.
Using the eNAM service, licences for traders, buyers, and commission agents can be obtained from state-level authorities without any pre-condition of the physical presence or possession of a shop or premises in the market yard.
Harmonisation of quality standards of agricultural products and infrastructure for quality testing are made available in every market.
Provision of Soil Testing Laboratories is provided for the selected mandi (market) in order to facilitate the farmers visiting the mandi.
e-NAM is designed and implemented to benefit all the stakeholders: farmers, mandis, traders, buyers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and exporters.
The benefits to stakeholders include:
Transparent online trading with enhanced accessibility to the market.
Real-time price discovery for better and more stable price realisation for producers.
Reduced transaction costs for buyers.
Availability of information on the e-NAM mobile app about commodity prices.
The details of the price of the commodity sold, along with the quantity, are received through SMS.
Quality certification.
More efficient supply chain and warehouse-based sales.
Online payment directly to the bank accounts of the farmers. | 0 |

| 15 | What is Whip?
The major political party issued a three-line whip to its Lok Sabha MPs asking them to be present in the House tomorrow as the Prime Minister of India will reply to the Motion of Thanks on the Presidential address delivered recently.
About Whip:
A whip in parliamentary parlance is a written order that party members be present for an important vote, or that they vote only in a particular way.
The term is derived from the old British practice of “whipping in” lawmakers to follow the party line.
The importance of a whip can be inferred from the number of times an order is underlined.
Appointment:
In India, all parties can issue a whip to their members.
Parties appoint a senior member from among their House contingents to issue whips — this member is called a Chief Whip, and he/she is assisted by additional Whips.
Types of whips:
One-line whip: A one-line whip, underlined once, is usually issued to inform party members of a vote and allows them to abstain in case they decide not to follow the party line.
Two-line whip: A two-line whip directs them to be present during the vote.
Three-line whip: A three-line whip is the strongest, employed on important occasions such as the second reading of a Bill or a no-confidence motion, and places an obligation on members to toe the party line.
Defiance of whip
In India, rebelling against a three-line whip can put a lawmaker’s membership of the House at risk.
The anti-defection law allows the Speaker/Chairperson to disqualify such a member; the only exception is when more than a third of legislators vote against a directive, effectively splitting the party. | 0 |
