Management is dynamic in character.

Management is continuous process.

The various factors which affect the trade area are as follows:

• Difference in natural resources
• Climate
• Population
• Culture
• Economic cost
• Specialisation

• The geographical diversity is the set of physical, human and cultural elements differentiated from each other that converge in the relatively small geographic space that is part of the same zone, region or country.
• If you take into consideration natural regions of the world, each region is different from another.
• The natural resource available in one country will be different from the ones available in different regions.
• There is variation in climate, soil, minerals, forest, relief, water supply etc.
• Depending upon the availability of geographical factors, there is specialisation of certain economic activities in certain areas and there is trade from surplus areas to scarcity areas. For example, in one region, plenty of oil is available while in another region no oil reserves are available.
• This variation in distribution of oil will be responsible for the development of trade between oil rich and oil poor countries.
• Thus, geographical diversity is responsible for trade to occur.

• In the process of planning communities are basic elements of tourism.
• It mainly depends upon level of acceptance shown by local communities.
• In the process of planning their involvement is necessary and therefore, community planning is necessary.

A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunication signals via. transponder.

Communications satellites are used for television, telephone, radio, internet and military applications.

The information about physical and human factors is obtained from satellite communication.

Satellite communication is used in remote islands, in some countries and continents where landline telecommunication is rare or not available.

As television becomes the main market, its demand for satellite communication becomes very important.

Satellites are also used for internet communication, military communications, etc.

Thus, importance of satellite as means of communication is increasing.

Between the pole and the focal length.

i) Chromatin material is the genetic material of a cell consisting of DNA. 

ii) Whenever the cell is about to divide, the chromatin gets condensed to form the chromosomes

iii) The various functions of the chromatin include the packaging of DNA material in a more compact state for the cellular reproduction and regulate gene expression for the synthesis of proteins.

Silvering of mirror means coating the surface of mirror with a thin layer of silver, aluminium or some other shiny, opaque material.

(i) The technique used to determine the type of sex of the foetus is called amniocentesis.
(ii) Value for life, professional ethics, gender bias.
(iii) Enactment of law.
- awareness campaigns about declining sex ratio and its ill effects.
- education of women.

Laws of reflection of light are: 

(i) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection and

(ii) The incident ray, the normal to the mirror at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.

(i) Cotyledons contains food in the form of bio -chemical energy which is used in the process of germination.
(ii) Hard work, passion for learning and knowledge, similarity, thinking skills and origin ability.
(iii) Providing opportunities for variety of learning experiences, motivation and freedom to experiment

(i) Regular 

(ii) Irregular

The number of chromosomes in parents and off spring’s of a particular species remains constant due to halving of chromosomes during gamete formation.

(a) The angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. 

(b) The incident ray, the normal to the mirror at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.

False

The Laws of reflection are valid for any reflecting surface including spherical surfaces. So, they are valid for both plane and curved mirrors.

Country C produces tea and country D produces coffee. So country C can export tea to country D and country D can export coffee to country C and trade will take place between C and D depending upon market for tea and coffee in respective countries.

As far as climate is concerned in both countries there must be tropical climate because cultivation of tea as well as coffee needs same type of climate conditions. Since both crops requires same climate, both can produce tea and coffee too and avoid trade or one can specialize in tea cultivation and another in coffee cultivation and develop trade.

Trade refers to transfer of goods or services from one person to another or from one country to another. Factors which affect the trade are natural resources, climate, population, culture, economic cost, specialization, etc.

Natural resources : Distribution of natural resources is uneven. The natural resources available in one country differs from another. Because of this uneven distribution of resource, there is trade between resources surplus and resource deficit.

Climate : Climate mainly affects the plants and animals in a region. In the areas of different climate, there are different types of plants and animals. 

Example, in the tropical countries like Sri Lanka whose major export is tea or Malaysia and Indonesia, whose major export is rubber. This occurs naturally because of favourable climate for growing tea and rubber plants in these countries.

Population : Population size, distribution and density are different in different countries. This leads to difference in production and consumption and hence trade occurs.

Standard of living can also determine the demand for various goods and services. The country with less population depends more on trade because fewer human resources is engaged in production of goods.

Culture : Some countries are known for their specific art and craft, based on their culture, specific production of goods which have worldwide market, for e.g., Kashmiri shawls or Iranian carpets.

Economic Cost : Cost of production is the major factor in the process of production. It is cheaper to import certain goods than producing it in the country itself. 

For example, it is cheaper to import tea from India and Sri Lanka than producing it in England.

Specialisation : Due extremely favourable factors of production, some countries have specialisation for certain goods and they have name and fame in the world market, so they develop export trade. 

For example, watches of Switzerland or electronic goods of Japan or tender beef of Argentina.

Government Policy: Government policy about export or import affects trade. 

For example, Government may increase import duties of some goods, to encourage people to buy domestic goods. Thus, import trade of those goods goes down.

• Various geographical factors affect the development of transport.
• Relief, climate and location are the three most important factors that affect the development of transportation.
• It is easier to build roadways and railways in plain areas.
• Dense forests, hilly and mountainous regions affect the construction of roads and railways, in Africa and South America.
• Coastal location with broken coast lines is favourable for development of ports and harbours.
• For the development of airways; favourable climate and plain region for construction of airports are essential.
• Foggy and smoggy weather and high peaks will be obstacles for the development of air transport.

Country E has developed technology in water engineering and agriculture. While F has developed technology in construction of the metro. This shows that both countries are technologically advanced and hence their human resources are very rich.

Dear Diary, Today is a very good day. It is really an unforgettable day in my life. Finally, I have fulfilled my long-lasting wish. Thank God! You only have given me this chance. It’s all because of that big man. What a coward he is! Though big and strong, he is timid. However, his leaving the battlefield is a blessing in disguise for me. Though I don’t have a big body, I have fought for the kingdom and proved that I am better than the big man. The king has made me the chief of the army and given me a number of rich gifts. It is a great honour for me. I am very happy. Oh, God! I am grateful to you. I shall do my level best as the chief of the army. I shall discharge all my duties upto the king’s entire satisfaction I can’t believe my eyes. 

Today is a memorable day for me.
