उत्तर
| Mining | Fishing | |
| (i) | Mining is the process of extracting useful minerals from the surface of the Earth. | Fishing is the activity of catching fish from water bodies. |
| (ii) | It is a primary activity that does not depend on climate or latitudinal location. | It is a primary activity that does depend on climate and latitudinal factors. |
| (iii) | Minerals are found naturally in the Earth's crust and are used as industrial raw materials. | Fish are found naturally in rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans and are mainly used as food. |
| (iv) | The distribution of minerals is highly uneven across the world. | Fish are found in all water bodies, especially in areas with continental shelves and favourable ocean currents. |
| (v) | Mining has been used since ancient times for making tools, jewellery, and medicines. | Fishing has been used since ancient times, primarily for food. |
| (vi) | Mining may lead to serious environmental pollution (air, water, land). | Fishing generally does not cause severe pollution |
| (vii) | Examples: Iron, coal, manganese. | Examples: Dogger Bank, Georges Bank, Grand Bank (famous fishing grounds). |
| (viii) | Mining started as a major economic activity and remains vital for industrial development. | Fishing started as a subsistence activity but has grown into a major commercial industry. |

Read the following passage and answer the question given below
|
The word petroleum is derived from the original Latin words petra and olium. Petra means rock and oleum means oil. Petroleum is a mixture of several types of hydrocarbons. The stratified rock in which the remains of marine microbial plant plankton (phytoplankton), algae and bacteria are found; such stratified rocks produce oil and natural gas. The remains of marine flora and fauna are stored at the bottom of the ocean, and silt accumulates and is buried beneath the silt layer. Due to the weight of the sludge and the heat generated from it, the organic matter deposited under the sludge is converted into droplets of fine oil. When the temperature of organic matter is reaches up to 120 degrees Celsius, then the organic matter is converted into oil particles. These oil particles penetrate into the microscopic pores of the rock and thus form rocks with a source of petroleum. Sandstones with high porosity are more likely to contain oil. It consists mainly of biofuels. The fuels currently in use include minerals such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and atoms. |
