The development of technology led to the formation of the department of earth sciences to study climate, weather, cyclones, and sea life. Powered by the latest technology, the department publishes daily weather reports to help people plan their days.
Let’s understand how technology is helping in the daily life of people
Weather
Technical advancements in weather study have made it possible to make accurate predictions about weather-related changes like freezing temperature, hotter days, rainy season, and dry winds. Also, a geographic area can be divided into different temperature zones for ease of study.
Monsoon
The monsoon is an annual event starting at the long spell of the hot season and lasting for four months of rain. Monsoon activity affects crops and for this reason, farmers and farming companies take interest in monsoon study. With advanced technology innovation in India, it has become possible to make an accurate prediction on the volume of annual rainfall so that the government gets time to appropriate measures to help the farming community.
Cyclones
Cyclones keep visiting coastal areas from time to time and sometimes they hit even the interior areas but thanks to the advanced study on cyclones, that alert person about the buildup of the low-pressure zone on the sea and calculate its intensity so that the people could be aware of its activity. This study is helpful specially to the fishing community that goes out in the sea to catch fish.
Sea exploration
Advance in science and technology in India allow sea exploration up to the sea bed to find reserves of minerals and oil. Also, it is the technology that allows exploration without disturbing the natural setting of the sea environment. The objective of sea exploration is to preserve this natural reserve so that it continues to serve for a long time.
The biggest help of climate study is that it provides ample time to the farming community. With prior information on the volume of rainwater, the farmers can look for other sources to water their plants. Also, life and property can be saved from extreme weather conditions. And it is possible only due to technical development.
Geoscience is the subject that studies everything that comes under the planet. It has nature, climate, sea, and soil. It tells a lot about the climate of a geographic area; farm produce grown in that area and challenges ahead. Also, the technology can be used to solve those challenges and further improve the conditions of the people living in specific geographic areas.
