Only religious and linguistic minorities find mention in Article 30 of the Constitution of India in reference to the right to establish educational institutions of their choice. This right is given to minorities to form and govern their own educational institutions. Article 30 is also called the "Charter of Education Rights". Under this, the state shall not, when granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.

An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling and température and salinity differences.

The gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth results in tides.

When glaciers grind rocks to a fine powder, loess can form. Streams carry the powder to the end of the glacier. This sediment becomes loess.

During an inversion, the air temperature increases with increasing height above the soil surface. As a result, the coldest, densest air is at the surface and its density steadily decreases with increasing height.

A long winter night with clear skies and still air is ideal situation for inversion. The heat of the day is radiated off during the night and by early morning hours, the Earth is cooler than the air above. Over the polar areas, temperature inversion is normal throughout the year.

Statement 3 is incorrect.

The inversion created from a cold front is especially evident when a shallow layer of polar air moves into lower latitudes. The air associated with the shallow air mass is colder than the air aloft, thus creating an inversion.

The Western Coast of our country is a high rocky retreating coast while the East Coast is a low sedimentary coast. This is the main reason behind erosional forms dominating in the West Coast while depositional forms dominate in the East Coast of India.

Along the high rocky coasts, the rivers appear to have been drowned with a highly irregular coastline. The coastline appears highly intended with the extension of water into land. The hillsides drop off sharply into the water. Shores do not show any depositional landforms initially. erosion features dominate.

Along with low sedimentary coasts, rivers appear to extend their length by building coastal plains and deltas. Coastline appears smooth and occasional incursions of water in the form of lagoons and tidal creeks. The land slopes gently into the water. Marshes and swamps may be abounding along coasts. Depositional features dominate.

Lakshadweep formerly known as the Laccadive, Minicoy and Aminidivi Islands is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to 440 kilometers (120 to 270 mi) off the South western Coast of India. The Aminidivi subgroup of islands (consisting of Amini, Keltan, Chetlat, Kadmat, Bitra and Perumal Par) and the Laccadive subgroup of islands (comprising mainly Androth, Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Pitti and Suheli Par), has a submarine connection between them through Pitti Bank. Together with Minicoy Island, a lonely atoll located at the southern end of the 200 km broad Nine Degree Channel, they form the Coral Islands of India in the Arabian Sea. All these islands have been built up by corals and have fringing coral reefs very close to their shores.
