Question
Describe the relationship between landforms and people.

Answer

Landforms and People:
People live on different landforms in different ways:
  1. Life is difficult in mountains.
  2. Plains are major attractions for people.
  3. In plains it is easy to build houses, construct roads, raise crops.
  4. In mountains earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc. cause huge damage to life and property.
Some people misuse landforms:
  1. They use land as waste like constructing house on fertile land.
  2. They throw garbage on land and in water making them polluted.
We have special duty to save landforms for future generations.

When they reached the police station Mohan went to the person-in-charge (Station House Officer or S.H.O.) and told him what had happened. He also said that he wanted to give the complaint in writing. The S.H.O. rudely brushed him aside saying that he couldn’t be bothered to waste his time writing down minor complaints and then investigating them. Mohan showed him his injuries but the S.H.O. did not believe him.
Mohan was puzzled and did not know what to do. He was not sure why his complaint was not being recorded. He went and called his neighbours into the office.
