Sex Ratio
Sex Ratio—Proportion of males relative to females in a population
General formula:
SR = Number of males/Number of females*100
Sex Ratio of Births
Sex Ratio of Births
Sex Ratio of Births—Number of male births per 100 female births
=Number of male births/Number of female births*100
Ratio < 100 →More female than male births
= 100 → Same number of male and
female births
> 100 → More male than female births
Sex Ratio of Deaths
Sex Ratio of Deaths:
Sex Ratio of Deaths—Number of male Deaths per 100 female Deaths
=Number of male Deaths/Number of female Deaths*100
Ratio < 100 →More female than male Deaths
= 100 → Same number of male and
female Deaths
> 100 → More male than female Deaths
Sex Ratio of Migrants
Sex Ratio of migrants:
Sex Ratio of Migrants—Number of male Migrants per 100 female Migrants
=Number of male Migrants/Number of female Migrants*100
2) Production of Electricity
Electricity by definition is electric current that is used as a power source!
This electric current is generated in a power plant, and then sent out
over a power grid to your homes, and ultimately to your power outlets.
Electricity
Electricity is very important in our lives.
We would find it very hard to do without it.
There are so many things in our homes that are powered by electricity that we have begun to depend on them.
Imagine you woke up this morning and had no electricity.
What difference would it make to
your normal morning routine?
What is Electric Current
The movement of charges such
as electrons is called current, and
this electrical current is what
powers household appliances.
Electric Current =Charge Passing
Through A Given Area

So How Is An Electric Current Generated?
Electric current generation - whether from fossil fuels, nuclear, renewable fuels, or other sources is usually
based on the:
Simple Equation
For
Electricity Generation
Motion is Essential
If you place a magnet and a conductor (copper wire), in a room together
there will be no electric current generated. This is because motion, from our equation for electricity, is
missing! An electric current is not generated unless the magnetic field
is moving relative to the copper wire, or the copper wire is moving
relative to the magnetic field.
When the number of forest are reduced and the forested area is curtailed, deforestation takes place. It is generally accepted that for a balanced environment and economy about 25% of the land area should be under forest
Forests are cut down to meet the demands of industry because wood is required as construction material for building.
In Pakistan nearly 50% of heating and cooking requirements are met by 20.88 cubic metres of fuel wood every year. In fact, 76% of the rural population depends on wood for heating and cooking which results in excessive cutting of trees.
Deforestation destroys the habitats of millions of species of plants and animals that will need the areas of forest to survive. Thus, it may lead to the extinction of these species, causing havoc in the biological food chains and the delicate balance of the ecosystem of these areas. ppollution will be increaseDestruction of wildlife habitation

DISADVANTAGE:
Flooding also causes of the deforestation. The removal of the tress adds to the high level
of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
ADVANTAGES:
Deforestation provide the material for various industry.
Cutting down tress provide a source of energy.
