✅Gs-1 : Geography- Heatwaves and climate change 🅾️ This article talks about Factors for this extreme climate event( read this article) ⚜️How do heat waves occur? How does air mass contribute to heat waves? ⚜️Early warning for heatwaves sees huge improvement-Click here 🅾️The extreme heat in parts of India in April is attributed to climate change. Studies indicate high temperatures were 30-45 times more likely due to climate change. Without climate change, such temperatures are unlikely. World Weather Attribution research connects early summer heatwaves to climate change, with 2022 and 2023 seeing significant April heat. Heatwaves are defined by high temperatures, with IMD setting a 40-47°C threshold. Heatwaves occur when temperatures are at least 5-6°C above normal, severe if 7°C higher. Data on heat-related deaths is sparse, but NCRB and Health Ministry reported significant fatalities in 2022 and early 2023. 🔰Join : @Geohighlights- for Geography news 🎖Please Subscribe : Youtube.com/vikaskanukollu

✅Gs-1 : Geography- Tides in lakes ⚠️Direct Factual Pointers: What to focus on? ⚜️Gravity & Tides: Basic science that tides are primarily caused by gravitational forces of the sun and moon. 🅾️How can this be used in prelims?- A question could mention a landlocked sea, asking if it would have larger tides than a lake due to being part of the ocean system- just note that even if landlocked, a sea is part of the larger interconnected ocean system. This allows for a greater volume of water to be affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.Examples-Mediterranean Sea: Has noticeable tides, though smaller than the connected Atlantic Ocean, due to its size and being partially enclosed. ⚜️Caspian Sea- has very minimal tides due to being almost entirely landlocked and relatively small in volume compared to true oceans. 🔰Join @hinduhighlights for News analysis @upschighlights for prelims info @Geohighlights- for Geography news
