Mains Question:
Question: Explain Earth’s axial tilt and its impacts on earth’s atmosphere. How earth’s axial tilt is responsible for longer nights and shorter day time during winters in Northern Hemisphere?
Question Mapping
- Subject: Geography (GS-III)
- Sub-topic: Important Geophysical phenomena of Earth
|
Approach:
- Introductionwith explaining the earth’s tilt, its shape and rotation on its axis.
- Explain the current tilt of Earth’s axis causes seasons on earth varying for Northern and southern hemisphere.
- Here explain the impact of this tilt on the duration of day and night of Earth.
- Conclude with the overall effect of change in duration of day and night on vegetation and humans at different locations on earth.
Context:
- The threat from the technical advancement of China has brought the concept of multi-domain operations (MDO) to the focus.
Understanding multi-domain operations
- Multi-domain operations (MDO): It comprises operations conducted across multiple domains and contested spaces through the convergence of capabilities with operational and/or tactical predicaments.
- What does it mean: This means having a common operating picture across all domains which forms the basis to decide the best tool to address a given task. The best-positioned and capable operator of any service can act across any domain.
MDO Architecture & C3 Structure
- Understanding MDO and C3: This architecture uses any sensor and the best-positioned shooter to accomplish objectives; it requires the command, control, and communication (C3) structure well in place.
- How will it work: MDO and its C3 structure would have inputs from all sensors to come up with an optimum engagement solution using artificial intelligence.
- Three Essential Features: All sensors must have the ability to be hosted on MDO architecture; executors must be able to receive inputs from the MDO C3 structure; and distributed control in case of communication disruption.
