<p>Fifteen new areas have been designated as the Global Unesco Geoparks. Out of 161 geoparks in the world, not a single belongs to India. Despite having several astoundingly beautiful geoheritage sites, India lacks a proper conservation mechanism to help place them on the world map.</p>
<p>“A Phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid” is called Soil Liquefaction (Hazen,1918).</p>
<p>A volcano is the emission of lava, ash and gases from deep under the earth’s surface through a crack on the surface of the earth. According to the Plate Tectonic Theory, the earth’s lithosphere (which includes the crust and upper mantle) is made of tectonic plates.</p>
