Broken ground
c. State two advantages that Dantiwada (South of River Banas) has over other settlements in the region?
Post office and Inspection Bungalow
d. What does 6r written against the unmetalled road in grid square 8478 mean?.
It is the relative height or steepness of the road which is 6 metres.
e. What is the direction of the River Banas and on which bank of the river is village Nadotra (Brahmanivas) located.?
The general direction of the river is east to west. Village Nadotra (Brahmanivas) is located on the right bank of the river.
f. What does “Dep” mean in the grid square 8777?
It means Depression. Depression is generally written on the map in a dry area where the wind has carried away the soil and leaving behind a hollow.
g. What is the general pattern of human settlement in the map extract?
Dispersed.
h. What is the area in square kms of the cultivated region enclosed by vertical grid lines 82 and 84 and the horizontal grid lines 78 and 80?
On the given map each grid square measures 2 cm X 2cm or 1 km X 1km
Therefore the area of each square is 1 sq km.
The number of squares between Eastings 82 and 84 and Northings 78 and 80 is 4.
Therefore the total area is 4 square kms.
i. In the south-east part of the map, why do some of the streams do not join the main river?
In the sandy areas, the streams have disappeared either due to sandy soil or high rate of evaporation.
j. What is the length of the canal under construction in kms?
2 cms on the map represents 1 km on the ground.
The length of the canal on the map is 4 cms.
Therefore 4 cms on the map represents 2 kms on the ground. So the length of the canal under construction is 2 kms.

PART II (50marks)
QUESTION 3 [2+2+3+3=10]
a. What is a land locked country? Name two landlocked SAARC countries.
A LANDLOCKED COUNTRY IS COMMONLY DEFINED AS ONE ENCLOSED OR NEARLY ENCLOSED BY LAND. BHUTAN AND NEPAL.
b. What are Tarai? Where exactly are they located?
THE WORD TARAI, A TERM PRESUMED TO BE DERIVED FROM PERSIAN, MEANS "DAMP," AND IT APPROPRIATELY DESCRIBES THE REGION'S HUMID AND HOT CLIMATE. THE REGION WAS FORMED AND IS FED BY MAJOR RIVERS.
c. Distinguish between an East-flowing and a West-flowing river.
1. EAST FLOWING
THE MAIN EAST FLOWING RIVER SYSTEMS ARE THE GANGES RIVER, THE INDUS AND THE BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEMS.
THE EAST FLOWING RIVERS FORM LARGE BASINS. MANY RIVERS PASS THROUGH THE HIMALAYAS. THESE DEEP VALLEYS WITH STEEP ROCK SIDES WERE FORMED BY THE DOWN - CUTTING OF THE RIVER DURING THE PERIOD OF THE HIMALAYAN UPLIFT. THEY PERFORM INTENSE EROSIONAL ACTIVITY UP THE STREAMS AND CARRY HUGE LOAD OF SAND AND SILT. IN THE PLAINS, THEY FORM LARGE MEANDERS, AND A VARIETY OF DEPOSITIONAL FEATURES LIKE FLOOD PLAINS, RIVER CLIFFS AND LEVEES.THESE RIVERS ARE PERENNIAL AS THEY GET WATER FROM THE RAINFALL AS WELL AS THE MELTING OF ICE. NEARLY ALL OF THEM CREATE HUGE PLAINS AND ARE NAVIGABLE OVER LONG DISTANCES OF THEIR COURSE. THESE RIVERS ARE ALSO HARNESSED IN THEIR UPSTREAM CATCHMENT AREA TO GENERATE HYDROELECTRICITY.
2. WEST FLOWING RIVER
THE MAIN WEST FLOWING RIVER SYSTEMS INCLUDE THE NARMADA, THE TAPI, THE GODAVARI, THE KRISHNA, THE KAVERI AND THE MAHANADI RIVER SYSTEMS.
THE WEST FLOWING RIVERS FLOW THROUGH SHALLOW VALLEYS. A LARGE NUMBER OF THEM ARE SEASONAL AS THEIR FLOW IS DEPENDENT ON RAINFALL. THE INTENSITY OF EROSIONAL ACTIVITIES IS ALSO COMPARATIVELY LOW BECAUSE OF THE GENTLER SLOPE. THE HARD ROCK BED AND LACK OF SILT AND SAND DOES NOT ALLOW ANY SIGNIFICANT MEANDERING. MANY RIVERS THEREFORE HAVE STRAIGHT AND LINEAR COURSES. THESE RIVERS PROVIDE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER.

MANY RIVERS THEREFORE HAVE STRAIGHT AND LINEAR COURSES. THESE RIVERS PROVIDE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER.
d. Which are the States in India that receive winter rain? How is this rain economically beneficial?
TAMIL NADU COAST. ABOUT 60-70% OF THE RAINFALL OCCURS DURING THIS TIME. IMPORTANT FOR RABI CROPS, RECHARGE OF NON PERINIAL RIVERS ETC.
QUESTION 4 [2+2+3+3=10]
a. What are the main factors that determine the development of industries in a region? (any two points)
Factors responsible for location of industry
• HUMAN FACTORS:-
• CAPITAL – Big cities like Mumbai, Kolkotta, Delhi, Chennai are big industrial centres because the big capitalists live in these cities.
• GOVERNMENT POLICIES:- Government activity in planning the future distribution of industries, for reducing regional disparities, elimination of pollution of air and water and for avoiding their heavy clustering in big cities, has also become an important locational factor.
• MARKET – The entire process of manufacturing is useless until the finished goods reach the market. Nearness to market is essential for quick disposal of manufactured goods. It helps in reducing the transport.
OTHER FACTORS
• Availability of raw materials
• Power resources,
• Transport and communication facilities
• Skilled and unskilled labour,
• Favourable climate
• Capital
• Water resources
• Market
• Government policy

QUESTION 7 [2+2+3+3=10]
a. What does soil formation depend on? (any two)
ii) VEGETATION: The growth and decay of vegetation determines the humus content of the soil. Roots of plants penetrate the soil and make it porous.
iii. Bio-chemical processes taking place in the soil: Bacteria and fungi cause the decay of plants and animal remains. Some transform the atmospheric nitrogen into soil nitrogen.
iv. CLIMATE : Climate is the most important single factor in the soil formation. the amount of rainfall and range of temperature are the most important climatic factors affecting soil formation.
v. RELIEF: Low relief areas generally experience deposition and have deep layer of soil whereas the soils are generally shallow in the plateau areas.
vi) PARENT MATERIAL: Parent rock determines the composition of soil.
b. How is man responsible for soil erosion?
Soil erosion is the removal of soil by the forces of nature, particularly wind and water. Soil erosion mainly takes place due to man’s activities such as deforestation, overgrazing of cattle, faulty methods of cultivation.

farming. However, under irrigation they can yield rich crops.
Rajasthan, North Gujarat and Southern Punjab
d. Which are the two States in India that lead in iron-ore production? What is its main use?
QUESTION 9 [2+2+3+3=10]
