THORIUM IN INDIA

Assignment On Resource Geography THORIUM Submitted By: Laltanpuia Roll No – 22 Dept. Of Geography, Mizoram University     Thorium is a source of nuclear power. There is probably more untapped energy available for use from thorium in the minerals of the earth's crust than from combined uranium and fossil fuel sources. Much of the internal heat the earth has been attributed to thorium and uranium. When pure, thorium is a silvery white metal which is air-stable and retains its luster for several months. When contaminated with the oxide, thorium slowly tarnishes in air, becoming grey and finally black. Thorium oxide has a melting point of 3300°C, the highest of all oxides. Only a few elements, such as tungsten, and a few...

PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER NEED FOR DRINKING

ASSIGNMENT ON ROCK WATER INTERACTION (GEOL/3/OE/22) PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER NEED FOR DRINKING SUBMITTED BY LALTANPUIA GOEG/12/206 All living things, from the smallest insect need water to live. Experts predict that by 2025, 1/3 of the world’s population will not have water due to the increase in population and water contamination. Each person discharged about 200,000,000,000 coliforms per day. Coliform bacteria are therefore very numerous-and the most common ad widespread health risk associated with drinking water is microbial contamination, the consequences of which mean that its control must always be of paramount importance. Earth currently has estimated 6.9 billion populations as of July 1, 2011 by the United States census bureau. The uses of water: Our...
