Answer in detail:

Explain with examples the process of weathering happening in Konkan.

Choose the correct option by identifying the correct correlation in the sentence:

River, glacier, wind, sea waves, and groundwater are the agents of erosion. The following work in the correct order is responsible to form various landforms.

Give a geographical reason:

The Eastern coast of India have deltas formed by the rivers but the Western coast has estuaries.

Give a geographical reason:

There is a direct relationship between the velocity of the agents and the process of deposition.

Differentiate between Syncline and Anticline

Differentiate between Slow movements and sudden movements

In which regions will freeze-thaw weathering not be effective?

Besides climatic factors, rock type, and structure, can you think of some more factors that affect weathering?

Can animals and plants also influence weathering? Will that be physical or chemical weathering? Which type of weathering does stone quarrying cause?

See the diagram and answer the following questions:

1. Which rock layer has experienced the most weathering?
2. Which rock layer has experienced the least weathering?
3. What could be the reason behind the difference in weathering?

The satellite images are given in figure A and B belong to the same location but a different timeline. Study the images and answer the following questions.

                                    Figure A

                                  Figure B

1. Compare the images and tell what differences do you find in these images. 
2. In 2019 what does the patch of land going from north-west to south-east signify? Why was it not there in the 2011 image?
3. To what extent is the climate of the place responsible for this disaster?
4. Which other factors are responsible for the disaster?

1. Fast
2. Slow
3. Dry
4. Wet

1. Creep
2. Slide
3. Fall
4. Flow

Question:

1. What will happen when the weather conditions are dry?
2. When will a flow occur?
3. When will a creep occur?
4. Now can you enumerate the factors which affect mass wasting?

Think of the reason why landslides should be more frequent in the foothill zone of the Himalayas and Western Ghat region. Why do landslides not occur in Marathwada in Maharashtra or the Maidan area in Karnataka?

Give a geographical reason:

One finds many sheep rocks, horns, aretes, and hanging valleys in the Himalayas.

Distinguish between Tributaries and distributaries.

Answer in detail:

Explain how the depositional work done by river Ganga has been beneficial to human activities.

The names of many places may have some relation with the landforms located there. The names of a few of them are given below as examples. You are expected to find out the particular landforms to which they are associated. Find about them and try to locate them on a map using an atlas. Make a list of similar examples from India. Discuss your findings in the class.
