R.K. Sharma (Author)
Synopsis After the successful achievements of the Industrial Revolution, man has been able to control the processes of nature, in that he can cross the rivers, the oceans and the mountains very easily. He can make use of resources of the earth above it and beneath it. Man has acquired the capacity to manufacture cloth with artificial material and has tried to control the resources of the earth. During this process the resources of the earth have been exploited very substantially, especially and coal, the wood and the petrol. The burning of these materials, has led to the rise in temperature of the earth. As a result of this it is feared that in a few years time around 50 years the glaciers will melt down and flood the rivers and the oceans and the low lying population may be affected very adversely. Also the layers of the atmosphere have been disturbed by the use of gas and other such factors.
