Question
How do we distribute the geographic features over the earth?

Answer

  1. To understand the distribution of geographic features and locations over the earth’s surface, we require some system of accurate location.
  2. The features can be represented on the map and a globe with the help of the points of references.
  3. The two basic points of references are North Pole and South Pole which form the basis for the grid system.
  4. The two sets of lines which intersect each other at the right angle on the face of the earth forms the grid.
  5. These two sets of lines are known as Parallels of Latitude and Meridians of Longitude which criss-cross in such a way that they make a network at the face of the earth.

Nowhere in the world have governments willingly shared power. All over Europe and USA, women and the poor have had to fight for participation in government. Women’s struggle to vote got strengthened during the First World War. This movement is called the women’s suffrage movement as the term suffrage usually means right to vote. During the War, many men were away fighting, and because of this women were called upon to do work that was earlier considered men’s work. Many women began organising and managing different kinds of work. When people saw this they began to wonder why they had created so many unfair stereotypes about women and what they were capable of doing. So women began to be seen as being equally capable of making decisions. The suffragettes demanded the right to vote for all women and to get their demands heard they chained themselves to railings in public places. Many suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strikes, and they had to be fed by force. American women got the right to vote in 1920 while women in the UK got to vote on the same terms as men some years later, in 1928.Study the above advertisement and answer the questions that follow:
