Answer 2

Answer:

1.(Ans) The word medieval has its origins in the Latin term medium aevum ("middle age") and first came into use in the 19th century, although the idea of a middle age had been around for several hundred years.

2.(Ans) Oligarchy is a government by a small group of powerful people.

3.(Ans) Universal adult franchise was granted for the 1951 legislative election. This was the first election to be held in Africa under universal suffrage.

4.(Ans) The biosphere is the layer of the planet earth where life exists.

5.(Ans) exploit surroundings for resources:- (I) sometimes with a negative connotation of accompanying environmental degradation. It started to emerge on an industrial scale in the 19th century as the extraction and processing of raw materials such as in mining, steam power, and machinery developed much further than it had in preindustrial areas. During the 20th century, energy consumption rapidly increased. Today, about 80% of the world's energy consumption is sustained by the extraction of fossil fuels, which consists of oil, coal and gas.

(II) Another non-renewable resource that is exploited by humans is subsoil minerals such as precious metals that are mainly used in the production of industrial commodities. Intensive agriculture is an example of a mode of production that hinders many aspects of the natural environment, for example the degradation of forests in a terrestrial ecosystem and water pollution in an aquatic ecosystem. As the world population rises and economic growth occurs, the depletion of natural resources influenced by the unsustainable extraction of raw materials becomes an increasing concern.
