♦️Cyclone: NIVAR
About Cyclone
▪️ Cyclone is a system of low atmospheric pressure in which the barometric gradient is steep.
▪️ Cyclones represent circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth.
▪️ The inward spiralling winds in a cyclone rotate anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth.
▪️ Most large-scale cyclonic circulations are centred on areas of low atmospheric pressure.
▪️ General factors responsible for the origin of Cyclones in Bay of Bengal region are;
▪️ Large sea surface with temperature higher than 27° C.
▪️ Presence of the Coriolis force enough to create a cyclonic vortex.
▪️ Small variations in the vertical wind speed.
▪️ A pre-existing weak low-pressure area or low-level-cyclonic circulation.
▪️ Upper divergence above the sea level system.

♦️Kaladan project
✅ The Kaladan project connects SITTWE PORT in Myanmar to the India-Myanmar border.
✅ The project was jointly initiated by India and Myanmar to create a multi-modal platform for cargo shipments from the eastern ports to Myanmar and to the North-eastern parts of the country through Myanmar.
✅ Significance: It is expected to open up sea routes and promote economic development in the North-eastern states, and also add value to the economic, commercial and strategic ties between India and Myanmar.
✅ This project will reduce distance from Kolkata to Sittwe by approximately 1328 km and will reduce the need to transport good through the narrow Siliguri corridor, also known as Chicken’s Neck.
✅ Sittwe is the capital of Rakhine State (which has been in the news for the plight of Rohingya Muslims) in south-western Myanmar. It is located at the mouth of the KALADAN RIVER, which flows into Mizoram in north-eastern India.

▪️In Headlines : A large cargo ship named 'Ever Given' got stuck near the southern end of Suez Canal due to a mishap caused by bad weather.
▪️The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway running north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt, to connect Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
▪️The canal separates the African continent from Asia.
▪️It provides the shortest maritime route between Europe and the lands lying around the Indian and western Pacific oceans.
▪️It is one of the world’s most heavily used shipping lanes, carrying over 12% of world trade by volume.
▪️In 2020, an average of 51.5 ships per day, with a net tonnage of 1.17 billion tonnes passed through the canal.
▪️The canal is a major source of income for Egypt’s economy.
