The Harappan people were well equipped with potter’s wheel and made red pottery with black designs. However, they were poor in stone art.

There were no temples, and it was largely a secular civilization. Yet, a number of terracotta figurines of the female goddess, the Pashupati seal, and the phallus worship indicate that idol worship was practiced.

The earth is made up of several concentric layers.

The outer layer is the earth’s crust — which comprises two distinct parts.

The upper part consists of granitic rocks and forms the continents.

Its main mineral constituents are silica and alumina, so it is collectively referred to as the SiAl.

Magnitude is the most common measure of an earthquake’s size. The magnitude relates to the energy released during the earthquake.

Intensity is a measure of the shaking and damage caused by the earthquake; this value changes from location to location. The intensity scale takes into account the visible damage caused by the event.

All of Western and Central Asia remains under the influence of westerly winds along the altitude of 9-13 km from west to east.

These winds blow across the Asian continent at latitudes north of the Himalayas roughly parallel to the Tibetan highlands. These are known as jet streams.

Tibetan highlands act as a barrier in the path of these jet streams.

As a result, jet streams get bifurcated and One of its branches blows to the north of the Tibetan highlands, while the southern branch blows in an eastward direction, south of the Himalayas.

It has its mean position at 25°N in February at 200-300 mb level.
