TOPIC: Our Changing Earth

“The only constant in life is change, and our Earth is a living testament to this eternal truth,
as it evolves and transforms through the ages.”

The Earth undergoes various changes over time, shaped by natural processes and human
activities. Some of the key changes through which the Earth changes include natural disasters,
plate tectonics, weathering and erosion, climate change, soil erosion, glaciation etc.

Below is the choice-board, you can pick any one topic for your project.

1. Do you know that the Barren Island Volcano is the only active volcano in India? Research
about this volcano of India including its history, geology, biodiversity, demographics and
tourist attractions.
