Question 1:
Answer the following questions briefly.
(a) What are the major landforms?
(b) What is the difference between a mountain and a plateau?
(c) What are the different types of mountains?
(d) How are mountains useful to man?
(e) How are plains formed?
(f) Why are the river plains thickly populated?
(g) Why are mountains thinly populated?

Answer:
(a) The major landforms are: mountains, plateaus and plains.
(b)

Mountain	Plateau
A mountain is any natural elevation of the Earth’s surface. It is considerably higher than the surrounding area.	A plateau is an elevated flat land. It is a flat-topped table land standing above the surrounding area.
Mountains have peaks.	Plateaus are flattened highlands.

(c) The different types of mountains are: fold, block and volcanic.
(d)
Usefulness of Mountains
Mountains are a storehouse of water. Many rivers have their source in the glaciers. Reservoirs are made to harness this water for consumption, irrigation and generating electricity.
River valleys and terraces are ideal for cultivation of crops.
Mountains have a rich variety of flora and fauna. Mountains provide an idyllic site for tourists.
(e) Most of the plains are formed by rivers and their tributaries. The rivers flow down the slopes of mountains and erode them. They carry forward the eroded material. Then they deposit their load (consisting of stones, sand and silt) along their courses and in their valleys. It is from these deposits that plains are formed.
(f) A lot of flat lands are available in plains. Also, the available land is generally fertile. Hence, plains are the most useful areas for human habitation as well as for cultivation. Transport network can also be easily constructed in plains. Thus, plains are very thickly populated regions of the world.
(g) Mountains have very harsh cold climate. The slopes of the mountains are very steep. Also, mountains offer very little land for farming. For these reasons, mountains are thinly populated.

Question 1:
Answer the following questions briefly.
(a) What are the three components of a map?
(b) What are the four cardinal directions?
(c) What do you mean by the term ‘the scale of the map’?
(d) How are maps more helpful than a globe?
(e) Distinguish between a map and a plan.
(f) Which map provides detailed information?
(g) How do symbols help in reading maps?

Answer:
(a) The three components of a map are: distance, direction and symbol.
(b) The four cardinal directions are: North, South, West and East
(c) The scale of a map is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map.
(d) A globe is useful when we want to study the Earth as a whole. But, when we want to study only a part of the Earth, it is of little help. For this purpose, we use maps. A map can represent the entire Earth’s surface or a part of it.
Maps can be used to show the physical features of the Earth (mountains, plains, oceans, rivers, etc.), the political divisions of the Earth (countries, states, cities, villages, etc.), and certain specific information (roads, rainfall, forests, industries, etc.)
(e)

Map	Plan
A map is a representation or a drawing of the Earth’s surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale.	A plan is a drawing of a small area on a large scale.
It can be used for representing large areas like continents or countries (large scale maps), and also for representing a small area like a village or a town (small scale maps).	It is used for representing those things that cannot be represented in a map. For example, the length and the breadth of a room cannot be shown in a map. For this purpose, a plan is used.

(f) A large scale map provides detailed information.
(g)As it is not possible to draw on a map the actual shape and size of different features (e.g., buildings, roads, bridges), they are shown by using certain standard letters, shades, colours, pictures and lines. These symbols give a lot of information in a little space. Using these symbols, maps can be drawn easily. The use of symbols makes maps simple to read.

Chapter-3, Motions of the Earth

Subject-Social Science

Solution are HERE

Question 1:

Answer the following questions briefly.
(a) What is the angle of inclination of the Earth’s axis with its orbital plane?
(b) Define rotation and revolution.
(c) What is a leap year?
(d) Differentiate between the Summer and Winter Solstice.
(e) What is an equinox?
(f) Why does the Southern Hemisphere experience Winter and Summer Solstice in different times than that of the Northern Hemisphere?
(g) Why do the Poles experience about six months day and six months night?

Answer:

(a) The angle of inclination of the Earth’s axis with its orbital plane is 66½°.
(b) Rotation is the movement of the Earth on its axis. Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun in a fixed path or orbit.
(c) Earth takes 365¼ days to revolve around the Sun. However, for the sake of convenience, we consider a year as consisting of 365 days. The six hours (1/4th of 24 hours) that are ignored make one day (24 hours) over a span of four years. This surplus day is added to the month of February. Thus, every fourth year, February has 29 days, and such a year (with 366 days) is known as a leap year.
(d)

Summer Solstice	Winter Solstice
It is the position of the Earth when the rays of the Sun fall directly on the Tropic of Cancer.	It is the position of the Earth when the rays of the Sun fall directly on the Tropic of Capricorn
In this position, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun.	In this position, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun.
A larger portion of the Northern Hemisphere gets light from the Sun; hence, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere.	A larger portion of the Southern Hemisphere gets light from the Sun; hence, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
During this period in the Northern Hemisphere, days are longer than nights.	During this period in the Northern Hemisphere, nights are longer than days.

(e) Equinox is the position of the Earth when the rays of the Sun fall directly on the Equator. At this position, neither of the Poles is tilted towards the Sun. As a result, the entire Earth has equal days and equal nights.
(f) When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere experiences Summer Solstice. At this time, since the South Pole is tilted away from the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere experiences Winter Solstice. When the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere experiences Winter Solstice. At this time, since the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere experiences Summer Solstice.
(g) The Poles experience about six months of day and six months of night because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. Because of this tilt, each Pole is tilted towards and away from the Sun for about six months each.
When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences continuous daylight for six months. It is night for the same time period at the South Pole. These conditions are reversed when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun.

Subject-Social Science

Solution are HERE

Question 1:

Answer the following questions briefly.
(a) What is the true shape of the Earth?
(b) What is a globe?
(c) What is the latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer?
(d) What are the three heat zones of the Earth?
(e) What are the parallels of latitude and meridians of longitudes?
(f) Why does the Torrid Zone receive maximum amount of heat?
(g) Why is it 5.30 P.M. in India and 12.00 noon in London?

Answer:

(a) Earth is slightly flattened at the North and South Poles, and bulges in the middle. The shape of the Earth is described as a ‘geoid’, that is, ‘an Earth-like shape’.
(b) Globe is a true model (miniature form) of the Earth.
(c) The Tropic of Cancer lies 23½ ° north of the Equator.
(d) The three heat zones of the Earth are: the Torrid Zone, the Temperate Zone and the Frigid Zone.
(e) All parallel circles from the Equator up to the Poles are called parallels of latitudes.

The lines of references running from the North Pole to the South Pole are called meridians of longitudes.

(f) The area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is known as the Torrid Zone. The mid-day Sun is exactly overhead at least once a year on all the latitudes in this area; hence, this area receives maximum amount of heat.
(g) In London, the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is followed. The Indian Standard Meridian is located 82½° east of the Prime Meridian. Thus the Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. So, when it is 12 noon in London, it
is 5.30 P.M. in India.
