Main Body
birds, Bengal Flotsam, white patheri, etc
3Coastal salinity of water bodies in region
4Increase silting of rivers & formation of shallow beds of water which on home to ecosystem
5Provides for nest of many Birds & other species
6Absorb unwanted & foreign microorganisms & heavy metals, etc, keeping environment clean
Role in Economy:
1Source of livelihood to many individuals → Tourism & Fishing in tundabam, Bhitarkanika, etc
2Source of Nutrition, & Fish & sea weed, etc
3Source of Timber & fuel.
4Recreational & other aesthetic value
5Serve as protection against storm surges & coastal cyclones, saving lob of money due to otherwise caused damaged by dyastas
In Odisha, Mangroves save 0.5% of state GDP in protection agn cyclones, etc
This subduction leads to tectonic instability & resultant earthquakes
60% caused here
2Along Mid-oceanic Ridges, with a run parallel through all oceans
3Mid-continental Belt along Eurasia covering areas of Europe, Himalayas, Turkey, etc. Here there are also minor belts present such as Anatolian plate & cause complex tectonic charges. This belt result in highest casualty as most population lives here
4Hotspot (viz) Hawaii hotspot responsible for earthquakes
5Transform plate boundary, lead to shear lines. → San Juan plate associated earthquakes in USA
