Tropical Waters And Unique Characteristics: Physical Characteristics Of The Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean has traditionally functioned as a crucial hub for marine commerce, enabling the linkage between the East and West via ancient trade routes such as the Silk Road and Spice Route. It continues to serve as a crucial international…
Tropical Waters And Unique Characteristics: Indian Freshwater Systems
India’s riverine conditions are shaped by the many rivers and lakes that run through the country’s colossal landscape and affect its hydrological dynamics. Himalayan and Peninsular rivers are the two main groups of rivers based on their origin. Himalayan rivers, like the Ganga, Yamuna, and the Indus, are primarily perennial. They get their water from snow and rain in the…
Tropical Waters And Unique Characteristics: Anthropogenic Perspective Of The Indian Ocean
Today, the Indian Ocean (IO) is important because it is a crucial route for world trade, especially in energy. Its extensive and heavily populated littoral includes some of the world’s fastest-growing areas. Around 800 CE, ocean shipping for foreign trade began. This made it easier for people in Africa, India, and China…
Tropical Waters And Unique Characteristics: Acoustic Challenges In The Indian Ocean
Acoustic problems are getting worse in the Indian Ocean, which is very big and has a lot of different kinds of plants and animals. People mostly cause these problems, which are very dangerous to marine life and habitats. Changes in water speed affect the spread of acoustic waves in the Indian…

Tropical Waters and Unique Characteristics: Physical Characteristics of the Indian Ocean
Author Romit Rajendra Kaware Facebook Twitter Youtube Linkedin Abstract The Indian Ocean has traditionally functioned as a crucial hub for marine commerce, enabling the linkage between the East and West via ancient trade routes such as the Silk Road and Spice Route. It continues to serve as a crucial international trade pathway, connecting Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. The Indian Ocean, which constitutes 20% of Earth’s surface, is unique in its status as the third-largest body of water. Unlike other oceans, it is land-locked to the north and does not expand into the cold temperatures of the northern hemisphere. Located north of southern Asia, bordered by the Arabian Peninsula and Africa to the west, the Malay Peninsula, Sunda Islands, Australia to the east, and Antarctica to the south, this region is important in global marine affairs. The entrance to the Indian Ocean is characterised by limited entry and departure ports, commonly called chokepoints. The Indian Peninsula acts as a partition, separating the northern Indian Ocean into two distinct basins: the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Extending India’s coastline to almost 7,600 km strategically places the country in a prominent position within the Indian Ocean. Download Report
