In what ways are land & sea breeze similar to Asian monsoon circulation

-

Similarities between land & sea breeze are as follows:-
1) In land & sea breeze land & sea/ocean is involved.
                                                                            Here, land (but subcontinent or apart of the subcontinent) & ocean/sea (never a lake or minor water body) is involved.
2)It is caused due to thermal contrast between land & sea due to differential specific heat capacity of land & water.
                                                                         In Asian monsoon circulation, thermal contrasts during the different seasons (especially summer & winter when contrasts are maximum) between land & sea is it's cause, due to difference in specific heat capacity between land & water.
3)In land & sea breeze both horizontal & vertical heat transfers occur.
                                                                 In Asian monsoon circulation, both horizontal & vertical heat transfers occur.
 4)In land & sea breeze, cumulous cloud formation is encouraged by it's circulation.
                                                                    In Asian monsoon circulation, more than one type of cloud formation occurs.
5) Day time sea breeze is directed from a relatively cool high pressure sea (high pressure divergence) to a distinctly warm land (low pressure convergence).
                                                                    In Asian monsoon circulation, during the summer monsoons the winds are on-shore directed from relatively high pressure areas to warm land.Eg.-Macernes high over Indian ocean & heat low over north-west India during south-west monsoon.
6) The oppositely directed land breeze occurs at night when less energy is available with low pressure over the water body & high pressure over land.
                                                                    In Asian monsoon circulation, the  winter monsoon or winter season there is anticyclogenesis over land resulting in off-shore winds.
Dissimilarities between land & sea breeze are as follows:-
1)land or sea breeze is tertiary circulation or local flow.
                                     In Asian monsoon circulation, it’s a global planetary circulation.
2) land & sea breeze is restricted to the land close to the bank of the lake or the coastal area.
                                                       In Asian monsoon circulation, it affects a huge land masses.-Indian subcontinent affected by south-west monsoon.
3)Velocity of sea breeze which is a part of land-sea breeze circulation has a velocity of 4 to 7 meters per second.
                                                         In Asian monsoon circulation, velocity of jet stream which is an important part of monsoon mechanism blows at a velocity of 110-184 Km/hr.
4) Land & sea breeze is a daily phenomenon.
                                                                        In Asian monsoon circulation, it’s seasonal phenomenon.
5) Land & sea breeze is not related to floods 7 droughts in an area if it fails.
            In Asian monsoon circulation, failure or excess will lead to droughts or floods.
6)Land & sea breeze only forms due to differential heating rate between land & sea.
                                                                                            In Asian monsoon circulation, it’s mechanism of formation is complex including movement of westerlies,jet stream,ENSO circulation apart rom differential heating of land & sea due to movement of sun.
7)Land & sea breeze encourages the development of front.Eg.-sea breeze front.
                                                                                       In Asian monsoon circulation, allows no frontal development.

Origin of Bengali Brahmin surnames along with ill effects and implementation of Koulinya Pratha

-
 - 1000 yeras ago, local bengal king Adisur invited 5 brahmins from kingdom or area of erstwhile kannauj - King Adisur is a big landlord/samanta under pal dynasty towards the end of the pal dynasty (source: khitish bangshabali charitam charita - local lineage history record book of Khitish blood line) - Pal dynasty was budhdhist while Adisur was Hindu - Rard desh, banga desh, gour desh, baredra desh were the area under King/landlord/samanta Adisur - time line mentioned in poem: in same book - Bikramabda (this incident happened before onset of gregorian calendar) so 999 Bikramsambat (year) pusha nakshatra on shukla paksha (day) - 942 BC approx - Reason of calling: Adisur was without male child. In ved there is provision of putreshthi yajna. In that time there were 700 household brahmins in the same region but they were unknown to the Vedic Yajna of Putresthi. These 700 brahmin households are call saptasati brahmins. - notably bengal followed non vedic tradition. Mur...

How does slope influence runoff

-
Runoff is the precipitation excess or the water leaving a drainage area regarded as rainfall minus loss by evaporation or infiltration.Runoff volume is the total volume of runoff water occuring over a period of time where Q(t) is the discharge at time t and the expression is :- Total runoff is the sum of the overland flow,ground water flow and through flow.The reason why water flow down hill over a sloping land surface is because of the following of the Bernoulli's equation .However,other opinion says the reason is decrease in potential energy rather than Bernoulli's equation .Steep slope will provoke speedy movement of water towards the outlet while gentle slope will result in slow movement allowing evapotranspiration.If the soil is porous then there will be infiltration and downflow in the form of throughflow or it may enter the ground water flow.Surface runoff or infiltration excess overland flow can only occur on the catchment slope if :- a)Rainfall rate is gre...

How using a dishwasher brought relief to my family and how I use it?

-
 Making the choice I came across several youtube videos on dishwasher initially. I am a tech savvy person and love to automate repeatative tasks and I have a goal to automate most of my household repeatative tasks. So, that we get quality time together and are not dependent on domestic help for heavy lifting. We have children and not a large family where she would receive support in child daily activities from family seniors. As a result, we are very much on our own and have to depend on our own time management and on machines - washing machine, refrigerator, 2 wheelers, amazon scheduled deliveries, dishwasher for our comfort and daily work needs. Deciding on the machine I checked different dishwasher online and zeroed in on Voltas beko 8 place set. It is the smallest and the cheapest machine with the highest review in the online e-commerce space.I also did a market study to see if the dishwasher specific detergents are available offline. It is not available. I also went to a local...
