Geology and its perspectives. Formation of core, mantle, crust, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere - Elementary ideas of continental drift and plate tectonics - Evolution of ocean and continental basins.

UNIT II

9
Ecology, ecosystem and biotic communities, human impact on air, land, soil, water, climate and forest resources - conservation of resources, coping with natural hazards.


UNIT III

9
Natural Environmental Hazards: Various domains and classes of natural hazards- tropical cyclones, floods, landslides and earthquakes - Prediction control and awareness of earthquakes- volcanic types, distribution and causes - coastal erosion.

UNIT IV

9
Introduction to Environmental Hazards Management - Global Climate Change: Causes, trends, consequences, and management challenges- Mitigation measures of volcanoes, prevention and controls of landslides.

UNIT V
