The major water bodies on earth are oceans, seas, lakes and rivers.

An inland sea in Eurasia Aral sea.

A strait is a narrow stretch of water that joins two large water bodies. The Strait of Gibraltar, for example, connects the Mediterranean Sea to the North Atlantic Ocean.

A gulf is an inlet of the sea of large areal proportions while a bay is an open, curving indentation made by the sea or a lake into a coastline. gulfs are more indented than bays are more enclosed.

Oceans are very important for us for many reasons :

1. Oceans are great storehouses of oil and mineral resources.

2. They support a large variety of aquatic life.

3. They facilitate international trade by providing trade routes.

4. Oceans are also a source of food supply for many people around the world.

The pacific ocean is bordered by volcanic mountains on its edges. so it is termed as Ring of fire.

The major causes of water pollution are liquid waste from thermal power plants, surface run - off, untreated liquid wasted from industries, sewage, household waste and oil - spills.

Surface run-off means the water from any source i.e. rain, river, etc which carries away the upper layer of soil, organic and inorganic fertilizers and make it a part of water cycle.

Ocean : 

1. Oceans are large water bodies covering 97% of earth’s water. 

2. There are main 5 oceans eg. Pacific, Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Southern Ocean. 

Sea: 

1. Sea is a part of the ocean that is smaller and shallower, located close to the edge of a land mass or continent. 

2. There are many seas eg. Caribbean sea, Bering sea, Arabian sea, North sea, etc.

Pacific ocean is the largest ocean and covers one third of third of the globe. it is circular in shape and is bordered by volcanic mountains and is termed as right of fire. the deepest part of earth i.e  Mariana Trench lies in this ocean near the philippines.

The river passes through three courses from its source to mouth – upper, middle and lower. The upper course generally lies in mountains where land is steep and river flows very fast. At middle course the river speed decreases as plains have gentle slope. The flow of the river is nearly halted at its mouth (where it meets the sea or ocean).

Importance of Rivers — Rivers are an extremely important water resource: 

1. The river valleys and plains provide fertile soils and crops grow in plenty in and around the region, 

2. River water is used for human and animal consumption. Rivers provide abundant water supply to support large settlements. 

3. Rivers provide means of transport to carry humans and goods from one place to another and thus facilitate trade. 

4. River water is an important source of energy. It is used to power hydroelectric plants and helps in generation of electricity. It also thus helps the industries to grow. 

5. Rivers also provide the means for recreational activities.

The river Nile in Africa, 6,695 km in length, is the world’s longest river. It flows out into the Mediterranean Sea. The Amazon, 6,640 km in length, flows through South America and is the second longest river in the world. Other important rivers in the world are the Mississippi in the USA, the Rhine and the Danube in Europe and the Ganga in India.

When the crude oil gets leaked into the sea while being transported from one country to another because of an accident and hurricanes it is called oil - spill. The aquatic life gets poisoned as oxygen can't reach them and leads to death affecting the life cycle.

1. Plasma creatinine is produced from catabolism of creatinine phosphate during skeletal muscle contraction.

2. It provides a ready source of high energy phosphate. 

3. Normally blood creatinine levels remain steady because the rate of production matches its excretion in urine. 

4. Hence, plasma creatinine is used as an index of kidney function and its level above normal is an indication of poor renal function. 

[Note: Plasma creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called ‘creatine phosphate.]

The demand curve slopes downwards because of the following reasons:

(i) Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility: According to this law, the utility derived from each successive unit of a commodity tends to diminish. Since P_x = MU_x, diminishing MU_x, must mean diminishing P_x corresponding to greater purchase of the commodity.

(ii) Income Effect: A fall in price of a commodity causes increase in real income of tire consumers. Accordingly, quantity demanded of the commodity increases.

(iii) Substitution Effect: When price of a commodity decreases in relation to the price of its substitute, its quantity demanded increases in place of the substitute goods.

(iv) Size of Consumer Group: When the price of a commodity falls, many consumers who were not buying it at its previous price begin to purchase it now.

• Fungi showing both sexual and asexual phases are called holomorph.

Normal goods are those goods whose demand increases when the income of a consumer increases and demand decreases when the income decreases, while the price of the goods remains unchanged. 

Example- wheat, grains, sugar, branded clothes, etc.

Inferior goods are those goods whose demand decreases when the income of a consumer increases. 

Examples: of inferior goods are consumption of breads or cereals and since the income of the consumer increases he moves towards consumption of more nutritious foods and hence demand for low-priced products like bread or cereal, decreases.

A shift in demand curve indicates a change in demand in response to a change in determinant of demand (like income, price of the goods, tastes, expectations, etc.) other than commodity’s own price.

(d) All of the above

Movement along a demand curve indicates a change in quantity demand in response a change in the commodity’s own price.

(a) its price increase

(a) Horizontal summation of individual’s demand in the market

(b) Increase in consumer’s income
