The environment consists of both biotic and abiotic components. Biotic components include living things like plants, animals and humans. Abiotic components are non-living factors such as water, air, soil, rocks and sunlight. Ecosystems involve interactions between living organisms, including producers like plants that produce energy through photosynthesis, primary consumers like herbivores that eat plants, and secondary consumers like carnivores that eat other animals. Abiotic factors also influence ecosystems, with examples being soil, water, air, temperature and sunlight, which different organisms are adapted to in different ways.

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.)
Urban population in developing countries has grown 6.8 times between 1950 and 2000.
While it has merely doubled in the developed world in the corresponding period a rapid urbanization has put tremendous pressure on existing infrastructure and public services; pollution too is on and most strikingly, the population of the urban poor is increasing in many developing country cities.
Capital can be defined as “the part of a man’s stock he expects to afford him revenue.
Capital is distinct from land in that capital can be increased by human labour.
Capital consists of any produced thing that can enhance a person’s power to perform economically useful work –a stone or an arrow is capital for a caveman,who can use it as hunting insturment and roads are capital for inhabitants of a city.
Mewat district is one of the 21 districts of Haryana state in northern India. The district was carved as the 20th district of Haryana from erstwhile Gurgaon and Hathin Block of Faridabad districts. Water conservation and management encompasses the policies, strategies and activities made to manage water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment and meet the future human demand. Water is very crucial in human life.Water usage will be affected by size of population and growth in a particular area or any region. Many regions in India are still undergoing through water stress. The village named Kaliyaka, which is situated in Mewat District, Haryana. In this region, there is problem of water conservation as water that was supplied in village is saline. Due to high level of salinity of water that was coming from Kiranj, and due to this water people from that area suffer from body pain. Mineral deficiency in this water cause problem of white hair to youngsters also.

Trends of Urbanisation in Smart City of Faridabad: A Geographical PerspectiveApoorva Mathur
Faridabad essentially occupies the position of being the oldest city of Haryana. It gradually started emerging as an industrial center for Haryana with the establishment of several renowned manufacturers of products like shoes, tractors, refrigerators, switch gears etc.
In this presentation,it is taking about plate tectonics and sea floor spreading with suitable diagrams respectively. During and just after World War II, the technological improvement to submarines led to an improvement in underwater navigation and surveying that revealed many intriguing underwater features. The most important of these were immense, continuous chains of volcanic mountains running along the ocean basins. These features are now termed mid-ocean ridges or more accurately, oceanic ridge systems.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Environment is what is surrounding
us, whether living or non-living.
Things wecan see and feel, things we
cannot see but feel e.g. air, people
and theirpractices and landforms
also the weather.
3. The components of the environment:The
components of the environment are
Bioticcomponents and Abiotic
components:Abiotic components: Water,
air, soil, rocksetc.....Biotic components:
Human beings, plants, animals and micro-
organisms.TheAbiotic component consists
of hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere,
Lithosphere.The biotic component
consists of consumers, DE-composer.
4.
5. The Biotic enviroment involves all the living organisms that come
regularly into contact with each other, how they interact and their
mutual influences. An ecosystem consists basically of the following:
Producers
Producers are organisms which are able to manufacture organic compounds
from inorganic substances from their enviroment. Green plants are able to do
this by means of photosynthesis, where the sun provides the necessary energy.
Therefore these green plants are the autotrophic organisms or primary
producers in most ecosystems.
6. Consumers
This component is made up of organisms which cannot make organic compounds from
inorganic substances. They are dependant upon autotrophic oraganisms and are the
consumers or heterotrophic organisms in an ecosystem. The consumers are further
subdivided according to their diet, into:
herbivores or plant eaters which are the primary consumers eg. cows, giraffes,
elephants, etc;
carnivores or meat eaters which are the secondary consumers; some carnivores are
called predators (eg. lions, leopard, fish eagle, etc) which catch their prey, kill it and
then eat it; others are called scavengers ( eg. vultures) which usually eat what is left by
the predators;
omnivores eat plant and animal material and can be primary, secondary and tertiary
consumers simutaneously; a human beings is a good example of an omnivore.
7.
8. In ecology and biology, abiotic
components (also called abiotic
factors) are non-living chemical
and physical factors in the
environment, which affect
ecosystems. Abiotic phenomena
underlie all of biology. The
abiotic factors of an ecosystem
can be listed through SWATS:
Soil, Water, Air, Temperature, and
Sunlight.
.
9. In biology, abiotic factors can include soil
acidity, light, radiation, temperature, water,
atmospheric gases, and soil. The
macroscopic climate often influences each
of the above. Pressure and sound waves
may also be considered in the context of
marine or sub-terrestrial environments.
10. All of these factors affect different organisms
to different extents. If there is little or no
sunlight then plants may wither and die from
not being able to get enough sunlight to do
photosynthesis. Many archaea require very
high temperatures, or pressures, or unusual
concentrations of chemical substances, such
as sulfur, because of their specialization into
extreme conditions. Certain fungi have
evolved to survive mostly at the temperature,
the humidity, and stability of their
environment.
11. For example, there is a
significant difference in
access to water as well as
humidity between
temperate rainforests and
deserts. This difference in
water access causes a
diversity in the types of
plants and animals that
grow in these areas
