The Rate of a Chemical Reaction The rate of a chemical reaction can be defined as the amount of the reaction which occurs in unit time. The rate of a reaction is measured by choosing certain properties of the reaction which will indicate how far the reaction has gone, and whose magnitude can be observed … Read more

Kinetic theory of gases The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles (atoms or Molecules), all of which are in constant rapid motion that has randomness arising from their many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. According to kinetic theory of gases, the molecules of … Read more
Motion Motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. The branch of physics which deals with the study of motion of material objects is called mechanics. Mechanics is divided into following branches. (i) Statics : Statics … Read more
Orogenic or the mountain-forming movements act tangentially to the earth surface, as in Plate tectonics. Tensions produces fissures (since this type of force acts away from a point in two directions) and compression produces folds (because this type of force acts towards a point from two or more directions). In the Landforms so produced, … Read more
The Unstoppable Journey: A Deep Dive into the Movement of the Indian Plate The Earth’s surface is not a static entity. It is a dynamic mosaic of tectonic plates, constantly shifting and colliding, shaping the landscapes we see today. Among these plates, the Indian Plate holds a unique position, having embarked on an extraordinary journey … Read more
The Planetesimal Hypothesis: A Stellar Collision’s Legacy The birth of our solar system, a swirling tapestry of planets, moons, and asteroids, has captivated humanity for centuries. While ancient myths and legends offered fantastical explanations, the scientific quest for understanding this cosmic creation story began in earnest with the advent of modern astronomy. Among the early … Read more
Unraveling the Mystery: Exploring Theories on the Origin of Earth The Earth, our home planet, is a marvel of complexity and beauty. From the towering mountains to the vast oceans, from the bustling cities to the serene wilderness, our planet teems with life and harbors a rich history. But how did this incredible world come … Read more
