Question 7.
The concept of Neo-determinism (stop and go determinism) is very significant today. Justify this statement.
Answer:
It was the Australian Geographer Griffith Taylor who put forward the concept of Neo Determinism or Stop and Go determinism. The concept says that man should intervene in nature and use natural resources without harming the environment. The theory says that by obeying the laws of nature we can conquer it. When we overexploit natural resources, and as a result natural calamities occur, this theory has much relevance.

Question 12.
Write a note on Sugar industry in India.
Answer:
Sugar industry is the second largest agriculture based industry in India. India has the number one place in the world for producing the most sugar cane and sugar. 8% of the total world production of sugar is from India. Apart from sugar, molasses and jaggery are also made from sugar cane. This industry gives employment to more than 400,000 persons directly and thousands of farmers indirectly.

Sugar industry is a seasonal industry. Once the sugar cane is cut, its water contents gets lost very fast. So it can’t be stored for long. Naturally the sugar has to be produced at the time of the sugarcane harvest. That is why it is said that the sugar industry is a seasonal industry. In 1903, a sugar factory was established in Bihar, marking sugar production in a modern way in India. Following this, there came many sugar mills in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Question 13.
One of the world’s single largest tertiary activity is tourism. Discuss the scope of tourism with respect ‘ to tourist attractions in India.

Section – C

Answer any 5 questions from 15 to 21. Each carries 3 scores. (5 × 3 = 15)

Question 15.
List out the consequences of migration.
Answer:
1. The North-Eastern Plateau Region:
This region includes Chhota Nagpur, Odisha Plateau, West Bengal, and some parts Chhattisgarh. There are large deposits of iron ore, coal, manganese, ‘ bauxite, and mica in these regions. That is why most of the iron and steel industries of India are located in these regions. The large mineral wealth of these regions has attracted these factories.  The consequences of migration are the following:

1) Economic Consequences: The money sent to India by the expatriate and migrant Indians from abroad is a main source of our foreign exchange.

2) Consequences on the population: Because of the migration from rural areas to the urban areas, the urban population increases. It is adults, skilled workers and experts that migrate from villages to the cities. This adversely affects the population structure of the rural areas.

3) Social Consequences: Through migrants there are social changes. From the cities, newer ideas reach the rural areas. Mixed cultures are another consequence of migration.

4) Environmental Consequences: The housing situation in the cities gets upset and slums are formed. Natural resources are overexploited. Therefore in cities there is a dangerous reduction of underground water levels. Atmosphere pollution is rampant. Waste gets accumulated.

Question 16.
Define:
i) Packet station
ii) Positive balance of trade
iii) Free trade
Answer:
i) Packet Station: Packet Stations are also called Ferry Ports. Such ports are used only for transporting people and postal packets etc. over short distances. For that and large boats and ferry boats. Normally such ports are seen on the opposite banks of a river, stream or lake. Examples are Dover in England and Calais in France.

ii) Positive Balance of Trade: Every country exports goods and services and it also imports goods and services. The difference in the value of a country’s exports and imports is called Balance of Trade. When a country’s value of exports is more than the value of its imports it is known as Positive Balance of Trade.

iii) Free trade: When a country opens its financial system for trade to other countries it is called free trade or trade liberalization. Free trade comes into existence when trade controls like tariffs, taxes and import restrictions are reduced or removed. Free trade allows goods produced in different countries to compete with goods produced in the country.

Question 17.
Why is irrigation necessary in India?
Answer:

Nearly 4% of the orId’s water resources are in India. Through rains and snow, India gets 4000 cubic km of water. If we add surface water and the ground water, nearly 1869 cubic kilometres of water is available to us. But only 0% of this water can be profitably used. In short, from the wafer resources in our country only 1122 cubic km of water is useful. In India there are two main water resources – surface waterand Ground water.

Surface water resources:
Rivers, ponds, lakes and reservoirs are the 4 main surface water resources. In India we have 10,360
rivers, and their tributaries. The water that flows in these rivers is 1869 cubic km. But for various reasons only 690 cubic km (32%) is useful for us. The water flow in a river depends on the size of its catchment area and the amount of rain it gets. Rivers like the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Sindhu have large catchment areas. In the catchment areas of these rivers precipitation is comparatively high. 60% of the total surface water is the contribution of these rivers. We also make use of the South Indian Rivers like the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri.

Ground Water Resources: The renewable ground water in India is 432 cubic km. 46% of this is in the basins of the anges and the Brahmaputra. In India, most of the ground water is used in the north-western regions and some parts in South India. Thus India is rich in water resources. This makes irrigation easy.

Question 18.
i) Name the state in India which ranks first in HDI.
ii) Mention the reasons behind this achievement.
Answer:

• Kerala
• High literacy
  1.  Achievements in the health care sector
  2.  Schools and hospitals with high standards
  3.  Development of human resources

Question 19.
Waste disposal is one of the serious social issues today. Discuss three environmental problems faced by the urban centers and suggest methods to overcome it.
Answer:
An important feature of urban regions is their high population. Proportionate to the increasing number of people and the hurry and haste, the amenities do not grow. It results in slums, unhealthy sanitary conditions and foul-smelling atmosphere. The main problem cities face is the atmospheric pollution because of the waste. It is the solid waste that is the main reason for the pollution in cities. Old and discarded things after use constitute solid waste. Main problems and solutions:

1. Extreme heat – Plant more trees.
2. Air pollution – Encourage electric vehicles for transport.
3. Solid waste – Ban plastic. Encourage the use of biogas.

Question 20.
The non-conventional energy sources will provide more sustained, eco-friendly cheaper energy after the initial cost is taken care of. Give an account of any three non-conventional energy sources.
Answer:
The energy of the future should come from non conventional energy sources. The features of non conventional energy sources are the following:

1. Renewable.
2. Environmental friendly.
3. Free from pollution.
4. Available in plenty.
5. Less expensive?

The main non conventional energy sources in India are the following:

• Solar Energy:
  1. Using photovoltaic cells sunlight is converted into electricity.
  2. Water heaters, driers, cookers, watches, calculators, etc. can work with solar energy.
  3. Gujarat and Rajasthan are the States which offer more favourable circumstances for producing solar energy.
• Wind energy:
  1. The ideal place for putting up windmills is wide and open places with strong breezes.
  2. In the States like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka the circumstances are conducive to the production of wind energy.
  3. The largest windmill farm in Asia is Lamba which is situated in the Kutch area of Gujarat.
  4. In Thoothukudy, in Tamilnadu, also there is a large windmill farm.
• Tidal and Wave energy
  1. From waves and tides, we can make electricity.
  2. The western shore Regions of India are very suitable for producing Tidal and Wave energy.

Question 21.
Differentiate between Rural and Urban composition of population.
Answer:
The population is divided into rural an urban population based on the place in which they live. Since there are many differences between the rural and urban dwellers, such a division is necessary. The life of the village people and city people is different. Their jobs and social conditions are different. In things like age-sex-profession structure, density of population, standard of development, etc. also there are differences.

1. Different countries use different criteria for grouping the people into rural and urban dwellers.
2. Rural areas are those in which the majority of people are engaged in primary activities. In the urban areas the majority of the people are engaged non-primary activities.

The life styles, food habits, professions, social circumstances, density of population, standard of development, etc. are different in the rural and urban dwellers. The rural dwellers engage in primary activities whereas the urban dwellers engage in service-related activities. In the Western countries, in the rural areas there are more men and in the urban areas more women. But in India, Pakistan and Nepal, more men than women dwell in cities.

In America, Canada and Europe it is the women who migrate from villages to cities looking for good jobs. As agriculture is mechanised there, it is the men that stay in the rural areas. But in Asian countries more men migrate to cities from villages. In Asian countries, women do not migrate to cities like men, because women lack of suitable dwelling places, appropriate jobs and safety, and high cost of living.

Question 22.
Explain the demographic transition theory.
Answer:
This theory points out that when a community moves from rural-agricultural-illiterate level to urban- industrial-literate level, the population there moves from high birth-death rate to low birth-death rate. These changes that have been happening for ages are generally called demographic transition. Demographic transition theory can be used to explain and forecast the future population of any region.

Demographic transition theory has 3 Stages.

• First Stage in the Demographic Transition theory:
  1. This stage is called high fluctuating stage.
  2. Birth and death rate very high. ‘
  3. A lot of contagious diseases.
  4. Inequitable distribution of food.
  5. Increase in births made the population grow.
  6. Most of the people illiterate.
  7. Longevity very little.
  8. Technical knowhow very little.
  9. The Adivasis in Bangladesh rain forests come in this category.
• Second Stage in the Demographic Transition theory:
  1. Known as the Expanding stage
  2. Although in the beginning, the birth rate is high,, slowly it becomes less.
  3. Death rate steadily decreased.
  4. Progress in the health-sanitatiort spheres.
  5. The different in birth-death rates increased the population.
  6. Peru, Sri Lanka, Kenya etc. come this stage.
• Third Stage in the Demographic Transition theory:
  1. Known as Lowfluctuating stage/
  2. Birth-date rates low.
  3. People are urbanised.
  4. Progress in education and technical knowhow.
  5. Canada, Japan, USA etc. come in this group.

Question 23.
i) What are the merits of water transport?
ii) Name a National Waterway in India and write its terminals.
Answer:

1. This is the easiest way of transporting heavy and large goods to their distant destinations.
2. Less expensive
3. Security expenses less.
4. High fuel efficiency.
5. Less pollution.
6. No traffic blocks
7. Less risky compared other means of transport.
8. Eco-friendly

Water Ways	Distance
NW 1	Allahabad – Haldia
NW 2	Sadia – Dhubri
NW 3	Kottappuram – Kollam

Question 24.
Classify the towns of India on the basis of dominant function with examples for each.
Answer:
Different types of Urban Settlements: Depending on the size and the services available and functions rendered, urban centres are designated as town, city, conurbation, megalopolis, and million city.

1. Town: The concept of ‘town’ can best be understood with reference to ‘village’. Population size is not the only criterion. Functional contrasts between towns and villages may not always be clear-cut, but specific functions such as manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, and professional services exist in towns.

2. City: A city may be regarded as a leading town, which has outstripped its local or regional rivals. In the words of Lewis Mumford, “the city is in fact the physical form of the highest and most complex type of associative life”. Cities are much larger than towns and have a greater number of economic functions. They tend to have transport terminals, major financial institutions and regional administrative offices.

3. Conurbation: The term conurbation was coined by Patrick Geddes in 1915 and applied to a large
area of urban development that resulted from the merging of originally separate towns or cities. Greater London, Manchester, Chicago and Tokyo are examples.

4. Megalopolis: This Greek word meaning “great city”, was popularised by Jean Gottman (1957) and signifies a super- metropolitan’ region extending, as union of conurbations. The urban landscape stretching from Boston in the north to south of Washington in the U.S.A. is the best- known example of a megalopolis.

In a megalopolis the population crosses one crore mark. It was New York which became the first megalopolis, in 1950.Today there are more than 25 megalopolises in the world. Even in developing countries the number of megalopolises is increasing.

5. Million City: When the population of a city crosses the one million mark it is designated as a million city. The number of million cities in the world has been increasing as never before. London reached the million mark in 1800, followed by Paris in 1850, New York in 1860, and by 1950 there were around 80 such cities. By 2005, threw number increased to 438.

Question 26.
The idea of Human Development is supported by the concepts of Equity, Sustainability, Productivity and Empowerment. Write notes on each.
Answer:
Human Development:
The concept of Human Development was put forward by Mehboob-ul-Haq. In his view it is the process which, considering various factors from healthy physical environment to social, political and economic freedom, increases the opportunities for acquiring education, health care, income empowerment etc. and develop opportunities for people to make their choice. The four components of human development are – Equity, sustainability, productivity and empowerment.

(a) Equity : Equity refers to making equal access to opportunities available to everybody. The opportunities available to people must be equal irrespective of their gender, race, income and in the Indian case, caste. But this does not happen in many societies.

For example in all countries there are students who drop out of school before completing their studies. Most of these drop outs are girls and those belonging to socially and economically backward classes. Example: India. As they don’t have educational qualifications, they lose their opportunities to choose what they want.

(b) Sustainability- Sustainability means continuity in the availability of opportunities. To have sustainable human development, each generation must have the same opportunities. All environmental, financial and human resources must be used keeping in mind the future. Misuse of any of these resources will lead to fewer opportunities for future generations.

We can take the example of sending girls to school. If we don’t give importance to sending them o schools it will affect their future badly. They won’t be able to choose the job they want when they grow up. They will lose many of their opportunities. It will affect the other areas of their life. Their will burn out by doing household chores and some other manual labour. So have a responsibility to make sure that we make everyone in the future generation is competent enough to get the opportunities he/she wants to choose.

(c) Productivity- Productivity here means human labour productivity or productivity in terms of human work. Such productivity must be constantly enriched by building capabilities in people. Ultimately, it is people who are the real wealth of nations. Therefore, efforts to increase their knowledge, or provide better health facilities ultimately leads to better work efficiency.

(d) Empowerment- Empowerment means to have the power to make choices. Such power comes from increasing freedom and capability. Good governance and people-oriented policies are required to empower people. The empowerment of socially and economically disadvantaged groups is of special importance.

Question 27.
Discuss any four factors that determine the location of industries.
Answer:
Factors that determine the location of Industries:
There are many factors that determine the location of Industries. Some of the most important are the following:

1. Nearness to the Market:
The things manufactured in the industries have to be sold. So an important factor in locating the industry is nearness to the market. By market it is meant people who are capable of buying the things produced by the industry. If the population of a place is small the market will be small. In Europe, America, Japan and Australia, which are developed nations the markets are global and big. The people there have great buying power. The densely populated areas in Asia also are good markets. Some industries have international markets: airplane manufacturing industry, arms manufacturing industry, etc.

2. Closeness to the raw materials:
Closeness to the raw materials seriously affects the location of the industry. Factories are to be opened in places where raw materials are easily and cheaply available. There should easy transport methods for the raw material to reach the factories. Factories that use raw materials which are cheap, large in size and which lose weight because of delay (factories manufacturing steel, sugar, cement, etc.) should be close to the sources where the raw materials like iron ore, sugar cane and limestone are available.

1. A main reason for establishing factories close to the sources of the raw materials is the possibility of the raw materials getting spoiled by long transport.
2. Factories manufacturing agricultural and milk products should be close to the sources where agricultural products and milk are easily available.

3. Availability of Labour:
Availability of Labour is another important factor in deciding the location of a industries. Some
Maximum Lpu&(isfiers industries need skilled workers. However, mechanisation and automation have reduced the dependence of industries on labour.

Availability of Energy: Some industries, like the aluminium industry, need a lot of energy. So they should be close to places where there are distribution centres of energy. Earlier the main energy source was coal. Now many industries work using electricity and petroleum.

Availability of transport and communication facilities: To bring raw materials to the factory to transport the finished goods to the markets, well developed transport and communication facilities should be available. Transport cost a big consideration in the location of an industry. In Western Europe and America there are excellent transport systems. That is why in these areas here are many industries.

1. Modern industries can’t exist away from proper transport facilities.
2. Communication facilities are also important for modern industries. They help to exchange information.

4. Government Policy: In deciding on the location of Industries, the government policy also plays a big part. Each government formulates a policy that encourages equitable economic development. So governments try to establish industries in areas which do not have them. Because of this policy, in certain places industries are established.

5. Agglomeration Economies: Around a major industry some mutually related small industries come up. From the nearness of the big industry, the small scale industries . profit. These profits called agglomeration economies. The relations among different industries help in reducing costs and in making bigger profits.

Answer any 1 question from 28 to 29. caries 6 scores. (1 × 6 = 6)

Question 28.
Low productivity is one of the problems faced by Indian agriculture. Discuss in detail the other problems,
Answer:
1. Problems of Indian Agriculture:
Only 33% of the agricultural land in India has irrigation facilities. The remaining land depends on monsoon rains for its water. Of the south-west monsoon comes earlier or later, the plans of the farmers will be upset. If there is more monsoon rain it will cause floods and if it less, it will bring droughts. Droughts and floods are the twin threats that challenge Indian agriculture. Drought is the phenomenon of places with less rain. Rarely there can be floods here also. The floods that happened in 2006 in the dry areas of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan are good examples for this.

2. Low Productivity
The quantity of paddy, wheat, cotton and oil seeds we get in India from one hector of land is much less than what they get in Russia, America, Japan, etc. Depending only on the rains, if we cultivate grains, pulses, oil seeds etc. in dry areas the harvest will be very little.

In India, the pressure on the land is very great. Therefore the availability of agricultural land is getting less. Naturally the productivity here is much less than in many other countries. In places where the agriculture depends solely on rain crops like rough grains, pulses an oil seeds give only low yields.

3. Constraints of financial resources or indebtedness:
To use modern farming methods, a lot of capital investment is needed. The poor peasants and farmers in India do not have the financial capacity to invest such capital. When they are in financial problems, the agriculturists take loans from individuals or financial institutions. If the crops are ruined or if the harvest is very low, they get trapped in indebtedness. There are so many instances of farmers committing suicide as they can’t repay their debts.

4. Lack of land reforms:
The landlord system (Mahalwari, Riotwari, Zamindari) that exited during the British rule was quite exploitative. Although many land reforms were made after independence, because of the lack of strong political, will, they were not put into practice effectively. As the land reforms are not put into practice, the inequality in the distribution of land continues. Because of that farmers are exploited and agricultural development becomes difficult.

5. Small farm-size and fragmentation of land holdings:
In India more than 60% of the farmers have on|y less than 1 hectare of land in their possession. Because of the increase in population the landholding is getting even less. In India agriculture is done on small pieces of land. Agriculture done on such small pieces of land is not profitable. There has been no effort to unify the pieces into large farms in many States. When land is transferred to the next generation the land further gets fragmented. On such small pieces the cost of agriculture is high but the yield is low.

6. Lack of commercialization:
Most farmers cultivate things only for their own needs. If the agriculture sector is to be profitable and attractive it should be mechanised and commercialised. Most of the small scale farmers produce what they need for their families. Only in places which have irrigation facilities, commercialisation of agriculture, that is producing crops aiming the market, is possible.

7. Vast under-emplovment:
Once the harvest is done, till the next planting season, the farmers will have no work. In places where there are no irrigation facilities, this problem is very acute. There seasonal unemployment is acute. Once the harvest is over, till the next plenting season, they have nothing to do. Thus they have to simply remain idle from 4 to 8 months of the year. Even in the agricultural season they don’t have enough work. Many agricultural activities do not need many labourers. In short, farmers have no chance of working throughout the year.

8. Degradation of cultivable land:
Wrong irrigation methods and unscientific agricultural development plans make the soil loses its fertility. Alkalization, calcification, water clogging, continuous farming, lack of proper fertilizers etc, reduce the productivity of the land. Planting different things will also reduce fertility. Places which depend solely on rains are adversely affected by soil and wind erosion especially where the soil is soft and loose and the climate is warm. Because of the unscientific methods used by people the fertility of the land gets reduced.

Overuse of chemical fertilizers and insecticides cause infertility of the soil. Instead of pulses, some farmers started cultivating other crops and then there was multicrop farming which does not allow the land any rest. This also adversely affects the quality of the soil. The land does not get time to draw nitrogen from the atmosphere and make the land naturally fertile.

Question 29.

Size
Raw materials
Products
Ownership
Answer:

• Cottage Industry
  1. The smallest industrial unit.
  2. Done with the help of family members.
• Small Scale Industry:
  1. Uses small machines that use energy. Semi-skilled workers work here.
• Large Scale industry
  1. Big capital investment and availability of 1000s of workers are needed.
  2. Modern manufacturing techniques and different raw material are used.

1. Aarobased Industries:
These are industnes that use agricultural products as their raw materials Eg. cotton, jute, silk, edible oil, etc.

2. MIneral based Industries:
These are industries that use minerals mined from the earth as their raw materials. Eg. Making ornaments, won and steel industry.

3. ChemIcal based Industries:
These are industries that use potassium. sulphur, salts, mineral od, etc. as their raw materials. Eg. Plastic, artificial fibres.

4. Forest based incisth:
These are industries that use forest products like timber, bamboo, honey, resins. etc. asthelraw materials. Eg. Paper, furniture industry.

5. AnImal based Industries:
These are industries that use hides and skins of animals, their fur, teeth, horns and bones as their raw materials. Eg. Ivory products, hides and skins Industry. Based on ownership, industries are divided into 3.

1. Public Sector Industries: These are industries that are owned and controlled by the government Eg. Steel Authority of India (SAJ)Ud., Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.

2. Private Sector Industries: These are Industries that are owned by private individuals. Eg. Tata Iron and Steel Company.

3. Joint Sector Industries: These are industries that are jointly by the public sector and the private sector.
