4. Name the different types of maps.
5. What do you mean by democracy? Do you think this type of government is good for India
the following questions in detail (any two).-
(3:5-15)
1. How seasons are caused?
this India referred as a land of unity in diversity?
Answers
Answer:
3) The Earth completes one revolution in 365 days and 6 hours for our convenience, we consider 365 days in a year. The remaining 6 hours are added over a period of 4 years till become 24 hours or on day. this extra is added to the month of February every four years to make it a month of 29 days instead of 28 days. The year of 366 days is called a leap year
4) a) large large scale map
b) small scale map
c) political map
d) physical map
e) thematic map
5) democracy means a form of government chosen by the people
1) season are caused due to the revolution of the earth on the elliptical orbit around the sun.
Answer:
3. a year, occurring once every four years, which has 366 days including 29 February as an intercalary day.
4.Political Maps, Physical Maps, Topographic Map, Climatic Map, Economic or Resource Map, Road Map and more.
5. Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation.
Democracy is considered the best form of government for these reasons.
(i) It is a more accountable form of government as it has to respond to the needs of the people.
(ii) Democracy improves the quality of decision- making as it is based on consultation and discussion.
(iii) Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts as differences are bound to occur.
iv) Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens as it is based the principle of political equality.
v) It allows us to correct its own mistakes in which rulers have to change their decisions or the rulers have to be changed.
1.The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun.
The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane" (the imaginary surface formed by it's almost-cicular path around the sun). The tilt toward the sun is maximized during Northern Hemisphere summer in late June (the "summer solstice"). At this time, the amount of sunlight reaching the Northern Hemisphere is at a maximum.
In late December, on the date of the "winter solstice", the Earth's tilt away from the sun is maximized, leading to a minimum of sunlight reaching the Northern Hemisphere. The seasons, of course, are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.
During the winter, cold air masses build up over North America, Europe, and Asia, due to the low intensity of sunlight. The oceanic air masses are much less affected by the seasons because circulations in the upper ocean replenish warm surface water if it has been cooled.
The strong temperature contrast between the cold air masses over land and the relatively warmer air masses over the ocean lead to extratropical (non-tropical) cyclone formation (low pressure). These storms are thus much more frequent and intense in the winter than in the summer.
