By Surya Prakash Kapoor, environmental scientist: Earth has diameter of 12741 Kilometers and full of molten rocks called magma. A gigantic nuclear fission reactor is producing heat in the core of the Earth. The skin of Earth is called Lithosphere and is only 100 Kilometers thick. Lithosphere is split up into 46 large and small pieces called plates. These 46 lithospheric plates are always in slow motion Called plate tectonics/plate movement. 

One such plate boundary is known as Himalayan Geothermal Belt. It ranges from Hindu Kush Parvat to Indonesia and passes through Andaman and Nicobar islands. As a result of subduction of one plate under the other a volcanic arc is produced in Myanmar, Andaman and Indonesia. Barren Island Active volcano is the only Active volcano pumping 1100 degree centigrade heat radiations released from two kilometers wide Caldera, into the atmosphere. An ultrastrong low pressure area is created in the atmosphere over three square Kilometers of area of caldera of active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea. This ultra strong low pressure area has pulled major segment of monsoon clouds towards Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Readers have read reports of monsoon reaching Andaman and Nicobar Islands before Kerala coasts. Karnataka is facing drought and clouds are attracted by ultrastrong low pressure area of active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea. Mainland of India is witnessing lesser rainfall and surplus rainfall is happening in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. What an irony created by ultrastrong low pressure area of active volcano. Moreover this procession of clouds after precipitation in Andaman and Nicobar Islands will move towards Himalayan states namely:

Jammu & Kashmir

Uttarakhand

Himachal

Nepal

Seven States of North Eastern States.

The softer scratched concrete and boulders are Foulded Belt of Himalayan Mountains. This heap of scratched material cannot absorb surplus rainfall sponsored by ultra strong low pressure area created by caldera of barren island volcano. Another adverse effect of heat of barren island volcano is the genesis of tropical cyclones in the vicinity of active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea. A cyclone is created in Inter Tropical Convergence Zone When the sea surface temperature exceeds 26.5 degrees centigrade. The heat to raise sea surface temperature of Bay of Bengal is provided by active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea.

Every year devastating tropical cyclones are produced and funded by heat of active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea. Another adverse effect of heat pumped into atmosphere from the caldera of active volcano of barren island in Andaman Sea is loo faced by Odisha state people. When hot air created by Caldera of active volcano of barren island blows towards land it blazes the people of Odisha state.
