Drake Passage:
ยฌ located between
1. Cape Horn: at tip of South America and Antarctic Peninsula.
ยฌ named after Sir Francis Drake: 1st Englishman to circumnavigate globe.
The Roughest waterways
ยฌ layers of cold seawater from south and
ยฌ warm seawater from north
ยฌ both collide to form powerful "eddies".
ยฌ Such eddies combine with strong winds, storms = treacherous for those attempting to navigate it.
2019: 6 rovers from 4 countries, crossed Drake Passage
= a new Guinness World Records (GWR).
2018: an all-woman Indian Navy team on INS Tarini also successfully crossed Passage.

Explanation: Shark Bay is a World Heritage Site in Western Australia.
Shark Bay has the largest known area of seagrass. Shark Bay is especially vulnerable to future climate change, given that the temperate seagrass that underpins the entire ecosystem is already living at the upper edge of its tolerable temperature range.
The Tasman Sea is a marginal sea of the South Pacific Ocean, situated between Australia and New Zealand.
Significance: Shark Bay: A World Heritage Site at catastrophic risk. A 2018 workshop classified Shark Bay as being in the highest category of vulnerability to future climate change. And yet relatively little media attention and research funding has been paid to this World Heritage Site that is on the precipice.

Explanation: Bannerghatta National Park is located near Bangalore, Karnataka in the hills of the Anekal range. The park is part of a wildlife corridor for elephants which connects the BR Hills and the Sathyamangalam forest. [statement # 2] The park is contiguous with Talli reserve forest in the southeast and Bilikal forest in the south.
It was declared as a National Park in 1974. [statement # 1] In 2002 a portion of the park, became a biological reserve, the Bannerghatta Biological Park. It is the first biological park in India to have a fenced forested elephant sanctuary. [statement # 3] In 2006, India's first butterfly enclosure was inaugurated at the park.
The Suvarnamukhi stream runs through the park and provides a pond, whose waters are believed to have curative properties. The Champaka Dhaama Swamy temple built in the Dravidian style of the Hoysala age, lies at the foot of the rock. The temple enshrines an image of Vishnu with his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi.

1) Himalayas act as an effective physical barrier for moisture bearing southwest monsoon winds.
2) Himalayas divide the Bay of Bengal branch of monsoon winds into two branches_ one branch flowing along the plain region towards northwest India and the other towards southeast Asia.
3) If the Himalayas were not present the monsoon winds would simply move in to China and most parts of the Indian subยฌ continent would not have received sufficient amounts of rainfall as of now.
4) Himalayas protect India from the cold and the dry air masses, which originates from Siberia and Central Asian region, this would have entered the Indian subยฌ continent vowing to northeast trade winds thus making the place a cold dry desert with little or no vegetation.
5) In winters, the Himalayas bifurcate the sub-tropical westerly jetstreams winds and thus aid in the formation of winter-rainfall. Thus, Himalayas are responsible for fulfilling the water requirements of more than1.3 billion population.
6) Without Himalayas, most of the place would have been a cold dry desert with little or no vegetation.
7) Also the racial profile of India would be very different as there would be very strong Mongol attacks because no natural defense would have been present and history might have been very different because of the extensive mongoloid invasion.

Sea of Marmara
โช๏ธ It seperates Black sea and Aegean sea
โช๏ธ Countries bordering Agean sea : Turkey and Greece
โช๏ธ Countries Bordering Sea of Marmara :
The Sea of Marmara, a northeastern extension of the Mediterranean Sea, separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey (Trace), thus it separates the two continents. Bordered completely by Turkey, it connects to the Aegean Sea via the Dardanelles Strait, and to the Black Sea through the Bosporus Strait.
