HOTSPOTS
A region with high biodiversity with most of spices being Endemic.
India have two Biodiversity Hotspots- East Himalayan Region and
Western Ghat.
25 major hotspots together represent 1.4 % of the earth's land
area, they contain 44% of all plant species and 35% of all
terrestrial vertebrate species in the world.
No of Hotspots in India-3
1. Indo-Burma ( earlier Eastern Himalayas )
2. Western Ghats and Sri Lanka.
3. Himalayas. (Newly added)

Green house Effect
GREEN HOUSE EFFECTS
What is Green House
In the cold countries, vegetables and essential crops are
produced in glass house which can hold the heat from
sunlight and the atmosphere inside the glass house
remains hot at night. This house is called green house.
Green House Effects
Earths atmosphere is slightly warmer than what it should be
due to direct solar heating because of a mild case of Green
House Effect.
The ground is heated by visible and (some) infrared light
from the Sun.
The heated surface emits infrared light.
The majority of Earths atmosphere (N2 and O2) are not
good greenhouse gas.
The small amount of greenhouse gases (H 2O, CO2) traps
(absorb and re-emit) the infrared radiation, increasing the
temperature of the atmosphere
Mechanism
1. Shorter, high energy
wavelengths hit the
earths surface.
2. Incoming energy is
converted to heat.
3. Longer, infrared wavelengths
hit Greenhouse gas molecules in
the atmosphere.
