What is Microbiome?  SOCIETAL GAME CHANGER Microbes are part of humans from the initial stage of development and play an important role in the functioning of the human body.  • The collective genome of all micro-organisms contained within the human body, residing inside tissues & bio-fluids is called Human Microbiome.  It includes bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists and viruses. • Most of them have either commensal (coexist without harming humans) or mutualistic (each benefit from the other) relation. •  Understanding the microbiome This invisible organ is modulated by disparate factors including  genetics,  dietary habits,  Lifestyle  age,  geographic location and   ethnicity. • Human microbiome makes up around 2% of the body mass of the adult. There are 10 times as many outside organisms as there are human cells in human body. The microbiome is the largest organ you may have never heard of, weighing up to three kilograms. Human...

WHAT IS SOUTH ATLANTIC ANOMALY : SAA The SAA is referred to the behaviour of Earth’s Geo-Magnetic field in an area between Africa and South America. The SAA is an area where the Earth’s inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth’s surface, dipping down to an altitude of 200 kilometres. This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites to higher-than-usual levels of radiation. The effect is caused by the non-concentricity of the Earth and its magnetic dipole. The SAA is the near-Earth region where the Earth’s magnetic field is weakest relative to an idealized Earth-centered dipole field. Weakening of the magnetic field Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large and rapid shrink has been observed in the SAA region over the past 50 years just as the area itself has grown and moved westward. The weakening of the magnetic field is also causing technical diffic...
