Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:1) Different ways through which the government can take steps to provide healthcare for all: (i) Establishing public healthcare at zonal level. (ii) Setting up low cost government hospitals. (iii) Health insurance for basic treatment. (iv) Provision of clean drinking water and steps to check pollution.

2) Chola temples often became the nuclei of settlements which grew around them. These were centres of craft production. They were not only places of worship, they were the hub of economic, social and cultural life as well. Amount the crafts associated with temples, the making of bronze images was the most distinctive.

3) Initially, Rashtrakutas were subordinate to the Chalukyas of Karnataka. However, in the mid-eighth century, Rashtrakuta chief Dantidurga defeated his Chalukya overlord and performed the Hiranyagarbha ritual, establishing his right to rule. When this ritual was performed with the help of Brahmanas, it was thought to lead to the rebirth of the sacrificer as a Kshatriya, even if he was not one by birth. Thus, the Rashtrakutas became powerful in India through a mixture of military prowess and ritualistic activities.

4) Rocks are a natural mass of mineral matter that makes up the earth's crust. They can be of different colour, size and texture.

5) Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have become changed by intense heat or pressure while forming. In the very hot and pressured conditions deep inside the Earth's crust, both sedimentary and igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rock.

6) Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.
