A team of scientists led by Abhay Mudholkar, from CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR-NIO) in Goa on February 17, 2017 informed that India’s only live volcano, the barren island volcano in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has started erupting smoke and lava again. The Barren Island volcano last erupted in 1991 after lying dormant for 150 years. Again the volcano has started showing sporadic activity in small intervals of 5-10 minutes. As per the scientists, during the day only ash clouds were observed, but after sunset red lava foundations were erupting from the crater into the atmosphere and hot lava streamed down the slopes.

The process of conversion of milk into curd is called fermentation.  It is a chemical change. Milk consists of globular proteins called casein. As the microorganism lactobacillus react with milk and turn it to curd. For it 37 degree temperature is needed. But sometimes when it does not get favourable condition, then other microorganism react and makes the curd taste different.

Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000(10^5) Ohms.

Depending on the person, a rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered.



There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women.

Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance.
