Kath-kuni (in Himachal) and dhajji dewari (in Kashmir) are traditional building methods in the western Himalayas. Kath-kuni uses alternate layers of wood and stone, while dhajji dewari involves a wooden framework filled with bricks or stones. These styles are flexible, absorb shocks and resist earthquakes. They keep homes warm in cold weather and are sustainable, using local materials. These construction methods show how communities adapt to mountainous terrain while preserving cultural identity and ecological balance.

The Brahmaputra River expands during summer because of two reasons: glacial melt from the Himalayas and intense monsoon rainfall in the northeast.

The Brahmaputra River expands during summer because of two reasons: glacial melt from the Himalayas and intense monsoon rainfall in the northeast. As temperatures rise, snow and ice melt rapidly, adding water to the river. Unlike rivers that dry up, the Brahmaputra overflows, sometimes flooding the plains of Assam. This seasonal swelling enriches soil through sediment deposits, supports agriculture and replenishes wetlands. Though helpful, the floods can also damage homes and displace people in low-lying areas.

Satellite images often show bright lights over northern plains like the Ganga Basin. This is due to high population density, urbanization and agriculture-based economies. The flat land allows easy construction of roads, houses and industries. People live closer together, using electricity for homes, streetlights and factories. Unlike mountainous or forested regions with fewer settlements, plains support more infrastructure. This results in dense clusters of lighting, especially visible during nighttime from space.

Sand dunes are hills of loose sand formed by wind action in deserts. They usually appear in crescent, dome or linear shapes depending on wind direction and speed. A typical dune has a gentle windward side and a steep leeward side. These shapes aren’t fixed and can move or grow over time. The Thar Desert has many such dunes, which help geographers understand wind patterns and natural landscape evolution in arid environments.
