Geography [2 Mark Question Answer]

(i) It is perennial water channel. It indicates the flow of water of river in very narrow stream.
(ii) Sediment or load

Right bank has less broken ground whereas left one has lot of broken ground. On the right bank lot of agriculture is done whereas, on the left bank hardly any farming is done due to barren land and broken land's presence.

The square formed by the intersection of northings and eastings is termed as grid square. Four figure grid reference of the confluence is 4292.

(i) It is river island.
(ii) Spot height of 177 m above the sea level.

(i) Line of latitude
(ii) It is a raised metalled road over a stream or river to cross them in rainy season.

Length 44-39 = 5km
Breadth 90-85 = 5 km
Area=L x B = 5 x 5 = 25 sq.km

This area is neither developed nor underdeveloped but developing.
Reasons: Here, agriculture is main occupation which indicates primary occupation. Metalled roads and facilities like power supply, metalled road, post offices, etc. have yet to reach all towns and villages here.

Working for civic facilities like railways, post office, etc.
Agriculture as yellow colour is seen.

The region between easting 40 to 44 and northings 93 to 95 to the north of the main river is least developed.
Reasons: There is no civic facility including the roadway.

Hinduism is the main religion here as there are many temples (4285, 4485, etc).
Islam is other religion as seen near Chitrasani by the presence of mosque.

Rivers negotiate it with the help of causeways. Causeways are the raised metaled road over a stream or river which helps vehicles to cross them.
We find causeways in 3994/4592 etc.

r stands for relative height if it is shown in black colour.
It means the height of the feature is above the surround land by the given number in meter
For example 16 r means height of sand dune is 16 m more than the surrounding land.
(ii) If r is written in blue, it indicates relative depth.

Map distance: 9 cm
Scale of map 2 cm = 1 km
Therefore, length of road on ground = 9/2 = 4.5 km

They depict broken ground.
It is formed due to evaporation of ground from land which causes land to develop cracks.
It indicates that the region receives scanty rain.

National Highway (4485)
District road (4486)
State highway (4585)

Length 46 - 36 = 10 km
Breadth 95 - 85 = 10 km
Area = L x B = 10 x10 = 100 sq. km

Length 43 - 38 = 5 km
Breadth 93 - 89 = 4 km
Area = L x B = 5 x 4 = 20 sq. km

(i) Relative height of the sand dune is 16 m.
(ii) Relative light of river bank is 8 m.

it experiences hot and dry climate with scanty and seasonal rainfall.
Evidences: There are many sand dunes and scattered sand. Here, all the streams and tanks are dry.

It means Bench Mark of 225.3 m. This altitude is inscribed on some important structure and marks the permanent record of the place.
Four figure reference: 4485

It is Chitrasani.
Evidences: It has three types of metaled roads, district road, state highway and national highway. There is a railway station, main power line and post office.

3887: Undefined/intermittent.
4189: Disappearing

Map distance - 4.2 cm
Scale of map 2 cm = 1km
Therefore, 4.2 cm 4,2/2 = 2.1 km

Distance = 10 km. Speed is 10 km/hr. Therefore, Time = Distance / Time 1 hour.

Natural: Dry river bed and barren land
Man-made features: Perennial lined wells and permanent huts

It's an index contour of 800 m
Index contours are bold or thicker lines that appear at every fifth contour line.

Length = 70 - 65 = 5 km, Breadth 15 - 12 = 3 km, Area Length x breadth= 5 x 3= 15 sq.km.

Eastings: Red colour vertical lines drawn on topographic maps whose number increase from west to cast are castings.
Northings: Red colour horizontal lines drawn on topographic maps whose number increase from south to north are northings.

(i) Relative height of bank of stream is 5 m.
(ii) Relative depth of perennial lined well is 11 m. If r is written in black, it's always relative height, if it's in blue, it's always depth.)

(i) Even short distances can easily be measured with the help of linear scale.
(ii) If the map is photographically enlarged or reduced the linear scale is also enlarged or reduced in the same ratio and remains true to the map.
Limitation: It requires time and proficiency in drawing a graphic scale.

It is not understood if the unit mentioned is not known to the people.
Other two scales used are R.F. Scale and Linear / Graphical Scale.

(i) It means 2 cm on map equals to 1 km on ground.
(ii) It is verbal/statement scale.

It flows in south-west direction,
Reason: The altitude of the region decreases in that direction.

(i) Agriculture as yellow shade is seen.
(ii) Forestry and animal rearing as green shade is seen.

(i) Fairly Dense mixed jungle : 6215. (ii) Open mixed jungle : 6713
Dense mixed jungle with bamboo : 6418/6518/6716

Hinduism
Reason: We can say this as many temples seen here such as in gird square 6719.

Perennial lined wells
Reason: These are seen depicted by blue dots.

North-western region
Reason: It has forest and hilly region where settlemets and civic facilities are difficult to develop.

Forestry and animal rearing are the main occupation.
Reason: It is because of the reason that major part is shaded with green wash which indicates the presence of forest.

It has hot and dry climate with moderate and seasonal rainfall.
Reasons: (i) There are forests and perennial tanks suggesting moderate rainfall. (ii) Streams and tanks are dry suggest the area has hot and dry climate. (iii) Presence of broken ground in 2808 and other areas.

(i) It is due to hilly terrain and forested area.
(ii) It is difficult to construct roads in hilly region and moreover deforestation is generally not recommended for development.

These are brown broken lines drawn on topography maps which join the places of approximately equal altitude. They are usually drawn in oval shape.

(i) It's a perennial tank. (ii) It's a natural depression where many streams bring water when they are flooded.

(i) It's a raised metalled road.
(ii) It's purpose is to cross a stream or river when they are flooded.

(a) It's a protruding part of a rock overlooking a hilly region.
(b) Forestry and animal rearing.

(i) They are intermittent as they are flowing over a sandy area where water gets easily percolated. Moreover, they do not have enough water in them as this area is a dry desert.
(ii) It suggests that the climate of this area is hot and dry with scanty rainfall.

(i) Relative height of embankment of dry tank is 3 m.
(ii) It's a road like structure across a dam which is available only for the people of irrigation department for the inspection of dam.

This area is neither developed not underdeveloped but developing.
Reason: The main occupation is still agriculture which is primary occupation and civic facilities are not available in all settlements.

(i) It is the ratio between the map distances to the ground distance.
(ii) Representative Fraction that is R.F. Scale.
