Geography Model Set 2021-2022 SSC (English Medium) 10th Standard Board Exam Question Paper Solution.



SOLUTION

Following are the physiographic divisions:

The Himalayas

The Coastal Plains

The North Indian Plains

The Himalayas:

The Himalayas are one of the young fold mountains in the world, extending from Pamir Knot in Tajikistan to the east. It is a major mountain system of the Asian continent. In India, it extends from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh. The Himalayas is not a single mountain range but there are many parallel ranges in the system. The southernmost is known as Siwaliks, the youngest range. Next to Siwaliks are Lesser Himalayas, Greater Himalayas (Himadri) and Trans Himalayan range from south to north. These ranges are young to old respectively. These mountain ranges are also divided into Western Himalayas (or Kashmir Himalayas), Central Himalayas (or Kumaun Himalayas), and Eastern Himalayas (or Assam Himalayas).

The Coastal Plains:

They are divided into eastern and western coastal plains. The eastern coast borders the Bay of Bengal. It has formed as a result of the depositional work of rivers. The east-flowing rivers from all parts of the country empty in the Bay of Bengal on the east coast. Since the slope of the land is gentle, rivers flow at lower velocities and deposit the sediments brought with them at the coast. As a result, deltas are found along this coast. It is therefore difficult for ships to reach the East coast thus indicating less likely conditions favourable for the establishment of natural ports.

The North Indian Plains:

The North Indian Plains are divided into two parts. The part lying to the east of the Aravalis in the basin of the river Ganga and is therefore known as the Ganga Plains. It slopes eastward. The western part of the North Indian Plains is occupied by desert, known as the Thar Desert or Marusthali. Most of Rajasthan is occupied by this desert.

The plains of Punjab lie to the north of the Thar desert. This region is spread to the west of Aravalis and Delhi ranges which have formed as a result of the depositional work by river Sutlej and its tributaries. The slope of the plains is towards the west.



Attempt Any Two

Give geographical reason.

Population is an important resource.


SOLUTION

Population is an important resource as it is the human resources that ultimately affect the progress of a country.

Its qualitative aspects like literacy and life expectancy contribute to the economic and social progress of a nation.

More educated the population, more is the skill supply which will be used by industries to manufacture products.

Apart from that, it will lead to more development of technology. This will eventually contribute to the economic prosperity of the country.


Availability of water is a major factor affecting settlements.


SOLUTION

Human settlements are organised and structured human habitation in different regions.

The concentration of settlement depends upon many important factors like the availability of water, natural resources, climatic conditions and the type of region.

Even though the nature of the region and the climatic conditions also influence the concentration of settlement, the availability of clean water is the most important determinant.

Because of this reason, we can find most of the ancient human habitations in the banks of the rivers. Indraprastha, Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro, and Varanasi are some examples of such settlements.
Thus the availability of water is the most important determinant of the concentration of human settlement.



Eco-tourism is being developed more in Brazil.


SOLUTION

Ecotourism is the tourist activities mainly engaged towards the inherent natural environment to support preservation and conservation of the exquisite flora and fauna.

Ecotourism is being developed more in Brazil because of its richness in natural resources.

The Amazon River basin and the impenetrable forests, widespread beaches and bays in the coast, attractive islands and the innumerable species of flora and fauna makes Brazil an attractive tourist destination.

Because of the abundance of natural resources in the country, ecotourism is also being promoted with the participation of local people.



The waterways are not developed in Brazil.


SOLUTION

Most of the rivers in Brazil have a huge discharge.

Most rivers in Brazil have high discharge rates.

Rivers in Brazil have highlands. As a result, these regions have become remote. Therefore, waterways have not been developed in Brazil.

Answer in detail (Attempt Any Two)


Answer the following in detail.

Explain with examples how field visits increase geographical knowledge.


SOLUTION

Fieldwork is important because:-


It is of great pedagogical importance as it lets students experience the geography of a particular region which theoretical texts can't do.


Field surveys enhance our understanding about patterns and spatial distributions, their associations and relationships at the local level.


Field surveys facilitate the collection of local level information that is not available through secondary sources.


It is very important as it helps to gather required information so as the problems under investigation are studied in depth as per the predefined objectives.


Field studies enable the investigator to comprehend the situation and processes in totality and at the place of their occurrence.


All the geographical skills are used in practical during field work. You get to learn and apply the skills of sampling, data collection, data processing, making questionnaires, map making, statistical techniques to derive results, observational skills and skills of interviewing etc.


It helps you understand the theoretical concepts better.


It gives you a chance to enjoy a wide variety of environments and landscapes.


Develops an understanding and sensitivity about the culture and people of field area. This may change your biased views about that community.


And most importantly, it is enjoyable and gives you a great memorable experience.



What problems did Brazil and India face after independence?


SOLUTION 1

Brazil gained its independence in 1822 from Portuguese. But it was under the populist military government after independence and also faced global financial difficulties. There was an issue of maintaining unity within the nation. Apart from that, it faced many problems due to the large size of the country. It was difficult to provide facilities to the deepest parts as the Amazon Jungle, central plateau or the northeast desert. Slavery was a big issue for all American countries. Slaves were an intrinsic part of Brazil, but they had many costs, this kind of economy structure made it harder for the country to develop.

India had a major issue of communal violence due to a partition on the basis of religion. There was widespread bloodshed on both sides. Resettlement of the displaced people was a big issue. There was a need to focus on agriculture which was completely exploited by the Britishers. Apart from this, India too faced the issue of maintaining unity among different states and among people of different faiths.


SOLUTION 2

India and Brazil are two resourceful countries that were ruled by foreign governments for a long time.

Upon winning independence, the countries suffered from problems.

They are,

They did not know how to operate and govern themselves as most of the government officials were immigrants. The native people knew very less about it.

The crime rate also increased due to the mismanagement of the power and resources

Corruption came into play and the officials became money motivated.

The countries also suffered from unemployment because the resources were not managed properly.
