Question

iii. Compare the land use pattern of Punjab with that of Jammu and Kashmir. Do you think the land use pattern of both the state will be the same or different. Give reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is down

Explanation:

You must have observed

that the land around you

is put to different uses.

Some land is occupied by rivers,

some may have trees and on some

parts roads and buildings have been

built. Different types of lands are

suited to different uses.

Human beings thus, use land

as a resource for production

as well as residence and recreation.

Thus, the building of your school, roads

on which you travel, parks in which you play,

fields in which crops are grown and the pastures

where animals graze represent bdifferent uses to

which land is put.

Land Use Categories

Land-use records are maintained by land

revenue department.

The land use categories add up to reporting

area, which is somewhat different from the

geographical area.

The Survey of India is responsible for measuring

geographical area of administrative units in India.

The difference between the two

concepts are that while the former changes

somewhat depending on the estimates of the

land revenue records, the latter does not change.
