The concentration of settlements is related to the following major factors?

OPTIONS

Proximity the to Sea

Plain region

Availability of water

climate

SOLUTION

Availability of water

Human settlements refer to 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 habitation on the banks of the rivers. Thus the availability of water is the most important determinant of the concentration of human settlement.

Attempt Any Two

Give geographical reason.

International tourists are attracted towards Brazil.

The location of Brazil has a lot to offer for tourism.

- varied climate, varied topography – mountains, plains, hills, wetlands, biodiversity etc. - beautiful coastal beaches, - varied culture.

A wide variety of species of insects is found in Brazil.


SOLUTION

A wide variety of insects is found in Brazil because it has a high diversity and density of wildlife in the Amazon rainforests.

Evergreen forests are found in this region around the Amazon basin as it rains throughout the year.

Because of the deposition of sediments brought up by the river amazon and as the amazon canal is 150km in width, it forms ideal conditions in terms of soil and water for the growth of dense forests.

Apart from the numerous species found in the tropical rainforests of north, they are also found in the swamps, grasslands, deciduous forests etc.


Wildlife in India is decreasing day by day.


SOLUTION

The population of India is increasing rapidly. To keep up with unsustainable human population growth, more and more land is required. Cities are expanding at an alarming rate and stretching beyond their original borders. Housing developments infringe upon plant and animal homes by constructing buildings. This habitat degradation has led to the loss of wildlife.

Moreover, due to shifting agriculture, deforestation tears down trees and large plants thus, leaving animals without shelter and food.

Smuggling of wild animals, poaching of endangered species, overfishing in rivers and oceans has led to loss in wildlife biodiversity in India.

Pollution is another major reason for the decrease in wildlife in India. For e.g. Pesticides sprayed on crops kills other plant species.
Thus, due to human encroachment in the natural habitat of wild animals, deforestation, smuggling, poaching, overfishing and pollution, wildlife in India is decreasing day by day.



The density of population is sparse in the Amazon basin.


SOLUTION

The Amazon basin in Brazil has tropical rainforests as it is closer to the equator and it rains throughout the year.

It has dense and diverse flora and fauna which is unfavourable for human inhabitation. Almost half of Brazil's area is covered by the tropical rainforests of the Amazon basin.

The dense forest makes human settlements very difficult in those areas.

Rain forests aren't a very friendly environment for human habitation, i.e. lack of fresh water, dangerous animals, lack of solid ground, lack of dry shelter, skeeters, dense trees, limited fuel and food sources, and difficult transportation

a) What is the balance of trade?

b) Tell the types of balance of trades.

c)  In which country exports exceed imports in all the years?

d) Brazil’s balance of trade belongs to which type?

e) India‘s balance of trade belongs to which type?


SOLUTION

a. The balance of trade is the difference between export and import between a given period of time. It is an important component of the Balance of Payment. It measures the economic strength of the country's economy

The balance of Trade = Export-Import

b. The balance of trade is the difference between export and import between a given period of time. The balance of trade can be of three types:

Favourable balance/Surplus: It is the situation where exports are greater than imports. It is always good for a country to maintain a favourable BOT.

Unfavourable balance/Deficit: It is the situation where imports are greater than exports. For every developing country, the BOT would be largely unfavourable with imports greater than exports.

Equilibrium balance: It is the situation where imports are equal to exports. It is very difficult for any country to maintain equilibrium in BOT.

c. Exports exceed imports in all the years in Brazil. Brazil is always maintaining a favourable BOT where exports are greater than imports. It is always good for a country to maintain a favourable BOT.

d. Brazil’s BOT belongs to the favourable balance/surplus BOT category. It is the situation where exports are greater than imports. It is always good for a country to maintain a favourable BOT.

e. India’s BOT belongs to the unfavourable balance/deficit category. It is the situation where imports are greater than exports. For every developing country, the BOT would be largely unfavourable with imports greater than exports.


With the help of the pie chart given in fig tell what is the contribution of secondary activities in Brazil's GDP?
