3. Why are the Northern Plains thickly populated?
4. What is a loo? Where does it occur?
5. Describe any two features of Advancing Monsoons.
Answers
There are 7 continents which include: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, Asia and Australasia. There are 5 oceans which include: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean.
The mountains arc thinly populated because of harsh climate. The slopes are steep and soil is lack. These conditions are not favourable for agriculture. So, the mountains are thinly populated.
The northern plains of India are densely populated because of the following reasons: They consist of large plain of alluvial soil and the deposition of alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalaya over millions of years make this plain fertil
The Loo (Hindi: लू ) is a strong, dusty, gusty, hot and dry summer wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan. It is especially strong in the months of May and June.
It brings a total change in weather conditions. (ii) Early in the season of advancing monsoon, the windward side of Western Ghats receives very heavy rainfall. The maximum rainfall of this season occurs in North-Eastern India. (iii) It has wet and dry spells.24-Mar-2018
Answer:
2)The mountains arc thinly populated because of harsh climate. The slopes are steep and soil is lack. These conditions are not favourable for agriculture. So, the mountains are thinly populated.
3)The northern plains of India are densely populated because of the following reasons:-
- They consist of large plain of alluvial soil and the deposition of alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalaya over millions of years make this plain fertile.
- They consist of large plain of alluvial soil and the deposition of alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalaya over millions of years make this plain fertile.It spreads over an area of 7 lakh square kilometres, is 2,400 kilometres long, 240 to 320 kilometres broad and are flat lands which make staying simple for the people.
- They consist of large plain of alluvial soil and the deposition of alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalaya over millions of years make this plain fertile.It spreads over an area of 7 lakh square kilometres, is 2,400 kilometres long, 240 to 320 kilometres broad and are flat lands which make staying simple for the people.They are made up of three major river systems, namely - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their tributaries. This helps in increasing the agricultural produce.
4)The Loo is a strong, dusty, gusty, hot and dry summer wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan.t is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115 °F–120 °F), exposure to it often leads to fatal heatstrokes.
5)The advancing monsoon prevails during the months of June, July, August and September.
The advancing monsoon prevails during the months of June, July, August and September.The features ofadvancing monsoon are-
(i) It brings a total change in weather conditions.
(ii) Early in the season of advancing monsoon, the windward side of Western Ghats receives very heavy rainfall. The maximum rainfall of this season occurs in North-Eastern India.
(iii) It has wet and dry spells. The intervening dry period is called ‘Breaks’ in monsoon.
(iv) The monsoon is known for its uncertainties, and the spatial distribution of rainfall is uneven.
