Physical and human factors both are dynamic not static.explain? |
| Answer» The geographical phenomena, both the physical and human, are not static but highly dynamic. They change over times as a result of the interactive processes between ever changing earth and untiring and ever-active human beings.1. Primitive human societies were directly dependent on their immediate environment. Human beings have come to terms with nature through adaptation and modification.2. The present society has passed the stage of primitive .societies, which were directly dependent on their immediate physical environment for sustenance. Present societies have modified their natural environment by inventing and using technology and thus, have expanded the horizon of their operation by appropriate utilisation of the resources provided by nature.3. With the gradual development of technology, human beings were able to loosen the shackles of their physical environment. Technology helped in reducing the harshness of labour, increased labour efficiency and provided leisure to human beings to attend to the higher needs of life. It also increased the scale of production and the mobility of labour. The interaction between the physical environment and human beings has put their imprints everywhere and created new possibilities in collaboration with nature. Thus, we find humanised nature and naturalised human beings and geography studies this interactive relationship.4. The space got organised with the help of the means of transportation and communication network. The links (routes) and nodes (settlements of all types and hierarchies) integrated the space and gradually, it got organised.5. It takes note of the associations and interrelationships between the phenomena over space and interprets them providing explanations for these patterns. It also takes note of the associations and inter-relationships between the phenomena resulting from the dynamic interaction between human beings and their physical environment. | |

difference between systematic and reginal approach of geography |
| Answer» The\xa0systematic approach studies only one issue and continues to examine its spatial variations. That means related to different spaces, you study your location.On the other hand,\xa0the regional approach studies the multiple characteristics\xa0after dividing or segmenting the location at hand,\xa0on the basis of region. Meaning you divide your location into regions, next you study characteristics of each region. | |

What is an ecological balance explain |
| Answer» 1. Ecological balance is a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of organisms in a habitat or ecosystem.2. It can happen when the diversity of the living organisms remains relatively stable.3. Gradual changes do take place but that happens only through natural succession.4. It can also be explained as a stable balance in the numbers of each species in an ecosystem.5. This occurs through competition and cooperation between different organisms where population remains stable.6. This balance is brought about by the fact that certain species compete with one another determined by the environment in which they grow.7. This balance is also attained by the fact that some species depend on others for their food and sustenance.8. Such accounts are encountered in vast grasslands where the herbivorous animals (deer, zebras, buffaloes, etc.) are found in plenty. | |

What is the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes |
| Answer» Most\xa0earthquakes\xa0directly beneath a\xa0volcano\xa0are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small\xa0earthquake.\xa0Earthquakes\xa0are not a geological structure like\xa0volcanoes\xa0and\xa0they\xa0do not release magma.\xa0They\xa0are violent movements of the Earth\'s crust. However, unlike\xa0volcanoes,\xa0earthquakes\xa0are common to all types of plate boundary.\xa0Earthquakes\xa0occur as a result of friction and build up of pressure between plates. | |

Humanized nature |
| Answer» Humanisation of\xa0Nature - These are products of\xa0human\xa0industry;\xa0natural\xa0material transformed into organs of the\xa0human\xa0will over\xa0nature, or of\xa0human\xa0participation in\xa0nature. ... Communism wouldentail not only the (re)naturalization of humanity, but perhaps first and foremost the\xa0humanization\xa0of\xa0nature.\xa0Human nature\xa0is a concept that denotes the fundamental dispositions and\xa0characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—that humans are said to have naturally. The term is often used to denote the essence of humankind, or what it \'means\' to be\xa0human. | |

9. How did atmosphere originate |
| Answer» THERE ARE THREE STAGES OF THE FORMATION OF THE ATMOSPHEREI .IN THE FIRST STAGE:\xa0the early atmosphere consist of hydrogen and helium. loss of primordial atmosphere due to solar windsII. IN THE SECOND STAGE:\xa0Gases were released from the earth’s interior such as Water vapor and other gases. There were water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide methane, ammonia and little free oxygen. The process of outpouring the gases from the interior of the earth is called degassing. Volcanic eruptions contributed the water vapor and CO2. The CO2. Disolved in the rainwater and converted into acid rain. Rainwater collected into the depressions called oceans. The oceans were formed about 4000 m y a. The life began to evolve about 3.8 b y a. The photosynthesis evolved about 2500 to 3000 my oceans began to contribute oxygen to the atmosphere. oceans were saturated with oxygen and flooded into the atmosphere.III IN THIRD STAGE:\xa0Living organisms changed the composition of the atmosphere due to photosynthesis | |

8. What do you mean by light year? |
| Answer» A light-year is defined as the measurement of length or the distance light travels in a vacuum in a year. One light-year is close to 6 trillion miles.Example of a light-year\tReflected sunlight travelling from the moon’s surface takes 4.04 × 10-8\xa0light-years to reach the earth.\tIt takes 1.58 × 10-5\xa0light-years for light from the Sun to reach the earth. | |
| 627. |
7. What are the different stages of development of atmosphere? – Explain. |
| Answer» When\xa0Earth formed\xa04.6 billion years ago from a hot mix of gases and solids, it had almost no\xa0atmosphere. The surface was molten. As\xa0Earth\xa0cooled, an\xa0atmosphere formed\xa0mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today\'s\xa0atmosphere. The\xa0atmosphere\xa0can be divided into layers based on its temperature.\xa0These layers are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere. A further region, beginning about 500 km above the Earth\'s surface, is called the exosphere.\xa0Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and other gases similar to the ones produced by volcanoes today\xa0were\xa0expelled.\xa0Over\xa0a vast amount of\xa0time, millions of years, the\xa0earth\xa0gradually cooled. ... From these clouds, the oceans formed and the oceans absorbed a lot\xa0of the\xa0carbon dioxide\xa0in the atmosphere. | |
| 628. |
6. How are the terrestrial plants different from Jovian plants. |
| Answer» 1. While the terrestrial planets are made of solid surfaces, the jovian planets are made of gaseous surfaces.2. When comparing the size, the jovian planets are much larger than the terrestrial planets.3. While the atmosphere of terrestrial planets is composed mainly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, hydrogen and helium are found in abundance in the atmosphere of jovian planets.4. The core of the jovian planets is more dense than the terrestrial planets.5. The jovian planets are far away from the sun. | |
| 629. |
4. Mention two different types of plants of our solar system. |
| Answer» In\xa0our Solar System, astronomers often divide the\xa0planets\xa0into\xa0two\xa0groups — the inner\xa0planets\xa0and the outer\xa0planets. The inner\xa0planets\xa0are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer\xa0planets\xa0are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas.\xa0There\xa0are\xa0eight\xa0planets\xa0in the solar system: Mercury, Venus,\xa0Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. | |
| 630. |
5. How was the moon originated? |
| Answer» The leading theory of the Moon\'s origin is that a Mars-sized body collided with Earth approximately 4.5 billion years ago, and the resulting debris from both Earth and the impactor accumulated to form our natural satellite. The newly formed Moon was in a molten state.\xa0The origin of the Moon is usually explained by a Mars-sized body striking the Earth, making a debris ring that eventually collected into a single natural satellite, the Moon, but there are a number of variations on this giant-impact hypothesis, as well as alternative explanations, and research continues into how the Moon came to be. Other proposed scenarios include captured body, fission, formed together (condensation theory, Synestia), planetesimal collisions (formed from asteroid-like bodies), and collision theories. | |
| 631. |
3. How were stars formed? |
| Answer» The formation of stars are explained below:(i)The distribution of matter and energy was not even in the early universe. These initial density differences gave rise to differences in gravitational forces and it caused the matter to get drawn together. These formed the base for\xa0development of galaxies.\xa0(iii)Eventually, growing nebula develops localised clumps of gas.These clumps continue to grow into even denser gaseous bodies, giving rise to formation\xa0of stars. The formation of stars is believed to have taken place some 5-6 billion years ago. | |
| 632. |
2. Describe the changes which have taken place on the earth from the early time to present day time. |
| Answer» When earth was first formed, its atmosphere was likely composed of hydrogen, helium, and other gases that contained hydrogen.Over a vast amount of time, millions of years, the earth gradually cooled. When the temperature dropped enough, water vapor condensed and went from a gas to liquid form. This created clouds. | |
| 633. |
Q1. Explain the process of degassing . |
| Answer» The process through which the gases were outpoured from the interior is called degassing. | |

Write a brief relation between nature and human as an integrated whole |
| Answer» As such, the\xa0human–nature relationship\xa0goes beyond the extent to which an individual believes or feels they are part of\xa0nature. It can also be understood as, and inclusive of, our adaptive synergy with\xa0nature\xa0as well as our longstanding actions and experiences that connect us to\xa0nature.\xa0Although\xa0humans\xa0are\xa0part of nature,\xa0human\xa0activity is often understood as a separate category from other\xa0natural\xa0phenomena. The word\xa0nature\xa0is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth". | |
| 635. |
What are body waves. |
| Answer» A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth\'s surface.\xa0Body waves\xa0are of two\xa0types: compressional or primary (P)\xa0waves\xa0and shear or secondary (S)\xa0waves. P- and S-\xa0waves\xa0are called "body waves" because they can travel through the interior of a\xa0body\xa0such as the Earth\'s inner layers, from the focus of an earthquake to distant points on the surface. | |
| 636. |
Name the direct sources of information about the information the interior of the earth. |
| Answer» In broad terms,\xa0direct sources\xa0are those that provide first-hand information about events. ... In scientific disciplines, experiments are the most common\xa0direct source; in other disciplines, surveys and interviews, or research into written and oral records of events provide\xa0direct\xa0access to information. The knowledge about interior of the earth is obtained through direct sources and indirect sources. Direct sources include rock materials from mining areas and molten magma from volcanic eruptions. Besides, scientists are working on “Deep\xa0Ocean\xa0drilling Project” and “Integrated\xa0Ocean\xa0Drilling Project”. | |
| 637. |
