Question

Q) Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow

In the words of the physical geographer the earth's surface consists of the solid crust or lithosphere of the mass of the water forming the sea and the ocean and constituting the hydrosphere and of that envelope of gas which we call the atmosphere Considered separately, each of these is the concern of special sciences, and not the geographer proper His business is to take the facts furnished by the meteorologist, the physicist the geologists, and so forth, and with these facts in hands to proceed to consider the effect of the interaction of the earth and water and air in a way which the separate science cannot do. We must further note that it is the interaction of these three which makes the earth a possible home for life as we know it, and it is these interactions therefore which influence the distribution of life on
surface of the globe.
There may have been a period when the crust of the earth was clothed in uniform sheet of water just as the globe has now enveloped in a complete covering of air but at present as through the long ages of geological time the lithosphere consists of elevations and hollows, and it is in the hollows that the water accumulates, so that we can distinguish between the dry lands and the ocean bed. Both chemically and

physically the fluid hydrosphere differs markedly from the solid lithosphere and it is above all, the physical difference which are of supreme importance to the geographer Because of them sea and land respond differently to the stream of solar energy which pours down upon our globe, and it is this different response which is the predominating factor in the production of the different climates, which again determines in its main outlines the distribution of living organisms
