The gas companies collect it in huge storage tanks, or underground, in old gas wells. The gas remains there until it is added back into the pipeline when people  begin to use more gas, such as in the winter to heat homes. Natural gas is moved by pipelines from the producing fields to consumers. Since natural gas demand is greater in the winter, gas is stored along the way in large underground storage systems, such as old oil and gas wells or caverns formed in old salt beds. The gas remains there until it is added back into the pipeline when people begin to use more gas, such as in the winter to heat homes. When chilled to very cold temperatures, approximately -260 degrees Fahrenheit, natural gas changes into a liquid and can be stored in this form. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be loaded onto tankers (large ships with several domed tanks) and moved across the ocean to deliver gas to other countries. Once in this form, it takes up only 1/600th of the space that it would in its gas...

Millions of years ago, the remains of plants and animals decayed and built up in thick layers. This decayed matter from plants and animals is called organic material -- it was once alive. Over time, the mud and soil changed to rock, covered the organic material and trapped it beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil (petroleum), and some into natural gas -- tiny bubbles of odorless gas. The main ingredient in natural gas is methane, a gas (or compound) composed of one carbon atom and  four hydrogen atoms. In some places, gas escapes from small gaps in the rocks into the air; then, if there is enough activation energy from lightning or a fire, it burns. When people first saw the flames, they experimented with them and learned they could use  them for heat and light. HOW WE GET NATURAL GAS The search for natural gas begins with geologists (people who study the structure of the earth) locating the types of rock...

🌕 According to Bloomberg New Economy Global Survey, India and China will surpass the U.S. as the World’s Centers of Tech Innovation by 2035. 🌕 India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of world consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world. 🌕 India has the world’s second largest human population at 121 crore, it leads the world in livestock population at 125.5 crore. 🌕 India is the world’s largest producer and consumer of milk.

● India ranks very high in the list of countries with a serious malaria burden. In 2018 alone nearly 4 lakh cases of malaria and 85 deaths due to the disease were  reported in the country, according to data from the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme. ● WHO pegged death alone at nearly 17,000 in 2017, India has one of the worst country-malaria-burden in the world. ● Questions are repeatedly asked about the veracity of the Indian data, with some reports suggesting India may be recording just 8% of the actual number of malaria cases. Between 60% and 80% of patients in the urban areas are treated by private doctors or health establishments, most of whom do not notify cases. ● Six states — Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Mizoram along with the tribal areas of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh,  account for 90% of India’s malaria burden. ● Over 435,000 malaria related deaths occurred in 2017 in world, and young ...

🌕 Nearly 2 lakh people die every year in India because of consuming contaminated drinking water. 🌕 A 2018 paper published in the Journal Of Hydrology by IIT Indore researchers found that only about 32% of India’s landmass is resilient to water stress during  the course of a single dry season. 🌕 India, the world's largest groundwater consumer uses around 230 cubic kilometres of groundwater in a year.  🌕 According to NITI Aayog, Groundwater which is the source of 40% of India's water needs is depleting at an unsustainable rate.  🌕 India, the world's largest groundwater consumer uses around 230 cubic kilometres of groundwater accounting for 12% of global groundwater extraction in a year. At this rate by 2030, nearly 60% of India's aquifers will be in a critical state. 🌕 Out of total available groundwater of 253 BCM (billion cubic metres), agriculture (irrigation) alone consumes around 90% .  🌕 Groundwater resources are overexploited i...
