IV. Distinguish between:

Question 1.
Physical and chemical weathering
Answer:

S.No.	Physical weathering	Chemical weathering
(i)	It is the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition through the action of physical forces.	Disintegration and. decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions is called Chemical weathering.
(ii)	Cracks are formed and disintegration occurs eventually.	Chemical weathering takes place through the processes of oxidation, carbonation solution and hydration.
(iii)	Exfoliation, block disintegration, granular disintegration, etc., are the different types of weathering.	The agents of Chemical weathering are oxygen, CO2 and Hydrogen.

Question 2.
Delta and Estuary
Answer:

S.No.	Delta	Estuary
(i)	A triangular-shaped low lying area formed by the river at its mouth is called Delta.	Deltas have fine deposits of sediments enriched with minerals.
(ii)	Estuary is formed where the rivers meet the sea.	Deposition of silt by the river is not possible in the estuaries like Delta as if the waves keep on eroding the deposits e.g. River Narmada, River Tapti.

Question 3.
Stalactite and stalagmite
Answer:

Stalactite	Stalagmite
When the water containing dissolved calcite gradually drips from the ceiling of the caves, water evaporates and the remaining calcite hangs from the ceiling and thus Stalactites are formed.	When the calcite deposits rises upward like a pillar Stalagmites are formed.

Question 4.
Longitudinal and Transverse sand dunes
Answer:

Longitudinal	Transverse sand dunes.
Longitudinal dunes are long narrow ridges of sand, which extend in a direction parallel to the prevailing winds. These dunes are called Seifs in Sahara.	Transverse dunes are asymmetrical in shape. They are formed by alternate slow and fast winds that blow from the same direction.

Question 5.
Inselbergs and yardangs
Answer:

S.No.	Inselbergs	Yardangs
(i)	Certain hard rocks like igneous rocks are more resistant to wind action.	In arid regions, certain rocks .have hard and soft layers arranged vertically.
(ii)	Isolated residual hills rising abruptly from their surroundings are termed as inselbergs. e.g., Uluru (or) Ayers Rock – Australia.	When winds blow over these rocks, the soft layers get eroded leaving irregular crests. These are called Yardangs.

Question 6.
Spit and bar
Answer:

Spit	Bar
A spit is a ridge (or) embankment of sediment, attached to the land on one end and terminating in open water on the other end. Spits are common at the mouth of estuaries, e.g., Kakinada Spit.	A bar is an elongated deposit of sand, shingle (or) mud found in the sea almost parallel to the shoreline.

V. Give Reasons.

Question 1.
Chemical weathering is predominant in hot and humid zones.
Answer:

1. Chemical is predominant in hot and humid zones because the warm temperature and rainfall increases the chemical weathering.
2. It encourages the decomposition of plant matter to produce chemicals such as humic acids and CO₂
   These chemicals increase the rate of weathering.

Question 2.
Slit deposits are less at estuaries than deltas.
Answer:

1. Deltas form at the mouths of large rivers when sediments and silt accumulate.
2. As sediments continue to accumulate, the course of the river may even be changed.
3. Estuary is formed where the rivers meet the sea.
4. Deposition of silt by the river is not possible here in the estuaries like delta as if the waves keep on eroding the deposits.

Question 3.
The snow line is at the sea level in Polar regions.
Answer:
The snow line is at the sea level in Polar regions because the higher the latitude lowers the snow line from sea level. –

Question 4.
Wind can possibly erode the rocks from aO sides.
Answer:

• Wind erosion can occur in any area where the Soil (or) Sand is not compacted (or) if it is finely granulated in nature.
• Wind can loosen the materials and send them in all directions.

Question 5.
In limestone regions, surface drainage is rarely found.
Answer:

1. Groundwater percolating through cracks removes the soluble rock while leaving an enlarged channel for the further flow of water.
2. If there is a thick cover of soil above the soluble rock, surface streams may flow above the subterranean karst drainage system.
3. But most commonly, dissolution features occur at the surface.
4. Therefore there are a few continuous surface streams.

VI. Answer in Paragraph.

Question 1.
Write a note on weathering classify and explain.
Answer:
Weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of materials of the earth’s crust by their exposure to the atmosphere. There are three types of weathering,
(a) Physical weathering
(b) Chemical weathering
(c) Biological weathering

Physical weathering: It is the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition, through the action of physical forces. The constant freezing and thawing of rocks during the night and day leads to the expansion and contraction of rocks. Cracks are formed and disintegration occurs eventually. Exfoliation, block disintegration, granular disintegration, etc., are the different types of weathering.

Chemical weathering: Disintegration and decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions are called Chemical Weathering. This is predominantly high in the hot and humid regions such as the equatorial, tropical, and subtropical zones. Chemical weathering takes place through the processes of oxidation, carbonation, solution, and hydration. The agents of Chemical weathering are Oxygen, Carbon-dioxide, and Hydrogen.

Biological weathering: Biological weathering occurs due to the penetration and expansion of plant roots, earthworms, burrowing animals (rabbits, rats), and some human activities.

Question 2.
Explain the erosional landforms formed by underground water.
Answer:
(a) Erosional landforms formed by underground water.

• Most of the erosions take place due to the process of solution.
• When rainwater mixes with carbon-di-oxide and enters a limestone region, it dissolves and destroys much of the limestone.
• As a result, landforms such as Terra Rossa, Lappies, sinkholes, swallow holes, dolines, uvulas, poljes, caves, and caverns are formed.

(b) Terra Rossa: The deposition of red clay soil on the surface of the Earth is due to the dissolution of limestone content in rocks.

(c) When the joints of limestone rocks are corrugated by groundwater, long furrows are formed. These are called Lappies.

(d) A funnel-shaped depressions formed due to the dissolution of limestone rock is called sinkholes.

(e) Caves are hollows that are formed by the dissolution of limestone rocks when carbon-di-oxide in the air turns into carbonic acid. Caverns are caves with irregular floors.

Question 3.
What is a glacier? Explain its types.
Answer:
A Glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over the land, from its place of accumulation. It is also known as the ‘River of ice’. The place of accumulation is called a snowfield. The height above which there is a permanent snow cover in the higher altitude or latitude is called snowline. The higher the latitude, the lower the snowline from sea level.

The gradual transformation of snow into granular ice is called ‘firn’ or ‘ neve’ and finally, it becomes solid glacial ice.
Movement of Glacier: The large mass of ice creates pressure at its bottom and generates heat. Due to this, the glacier melts a little and starts to move The rate of movement of a glacier varies from a few centimeters to several hundred meters a day. The movement of glaciers depends on slope, the volume of the glacier, thickness, roughness at the bottom (friction), etc., and Temperature. Like the rivers, glaciers also carry out erosion, transportation, and deposition.

Types of Glacier: Glaciers are broadly divided into two types based on the place of occurrences, such as Continental glacier and valley glacier.

Question 4.
Describe the depositional work of winds.
Answer:
(a) Depositional landforms of wind:

• Deposition occurs when the speed of wind is reduced by the presence of obstacles like bushes, forests and rock structures.
• The sediments carried by wind get deposited on both the windward and leeward sides of these obstacles.

(b) Sand dunes: In deserts, during sandstorms, wind carries loads of sand. When the speed of wind decreases, huge amount of sand gets deposited. These mounds or hills of sand are called sand dunes.

(c) Barchans: Barchans are isolated, crescent-shaped sand dunes. They have gentle slopes on the windward side and steep slopes on the leeward side.

(d) Transverse dunes: They are asymmetrical in shape. They are formed by alternate slow and fast winds that blow from the same direction.

(e) Longitudinal dunes: Longitudinal dunes are long narrow ridges of sand, which extend in a direction parallel to prevailing winds.

(f) Loess:

1. The term loess refers to the deposits of fine silt and porous sand over a vast region.
2. Extensive loess deposits are found in Northern and Western China, the Pampas of Argentina, in Ukraine, and in the Mississippi valley of the United States.

Question 5.
Give a detailed account of the three orders of landforms.
Answer:
Major land forms:
(i) First order landforms : Continents & Oceans
(ii) Second-order landforms: Mountains, Plateaus, and plains minor land forests
(iii) Third-order landforms: Deltas, Fjords coasts, Sand dimes, Beaches, Valleys, Cirques, Mushroom rocks, Limestone rocks.

First-order land forms:

1. Continents: (i) It is a very large area of land.
   (ii) One of the seven large landmasses on the earth’s surface, surrounded by sea.
   Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica.
2. Oceans: A very large expanse of sea, Atlantic ocean, Arctic ocean, Pacific ocean, Indian ocean, and Antarctic ocean.

Second-order landforms: Mountains, Plateaus, and Plains.

1. Mountains: A large natural elevation of the earth’s surface, rising abruptly from the surrounding level, e.g., the Himalayas.
2. Plateaus: An area of fairly level high ground, e.g., Tibetan plateau.
3. Plains: A large area of flat land, e.g., Coastal plains.

Third-order landforms: Deltas, Fjords, Sand dunes, Beaches, Valleys, Cirques, Mushroom rocks, Limestone rocks.

1. Deltas: A triangular-shaped low lying area formed by the river at its mouth is called Delta. Fjords: These are glacial valleys that are partly submerged in the sea.
2. Sand Dunes: In deserts, a huge amount of sand gets deposited. These mounds (or) hills of sand are called sand dunes.
3. Beaches: Sand and gravel are moved and deposited by waves along the shore to form Beaches. Valleys: A low area of land between hills (or) mountains typically with a river (or) stream flowing through it.
4. Cirques: The glacier erodes the steep sidewalls of the mountain and farms bowl shaped armchair. It is termed as a cirque.
5. Mushroom rocks: By the constant wearing down action of wind the bottom of the rock gets eroded away to form a mushroom-like structure. This is called Mushroom rock (or) Pedestal rock.
6. Limestone rocks: The underground water creates distinct landforms in limestone regions called Karst Topography. It consists of calcite, aragonite.

Answer:
By the constant wearing down action of wind, the bottom gets eroded away to form a mushroom-like structure. So the Pedestal rock looks like a mushroom.

VI. Answer in a Paragraph.

Question 1.
Explain the origin of the river and its course.
Answer:
Rivers generally originate from mountains and end in a sea or lake. The whole path that a river flows through is called its course. The course of a river is divided into:
(i) The upper course
(ii) The middle course and
(iii) The lower course

(i) The Upper Course: Erosion is the most dominant faction of the river in the upper course. In this course, a river usually tumbles down the steep mountain slopes. The steep gradient increases the velocity and the river channel performs erosion with great force to widen and deepen its valley. The land features carved by a river in its upper course are V-shaped valleys, gorges, canyons, rapids, potholes, spurs, and waterfalls.

(ii) The Middle Course: The river enters the plain in its middle course. The volume of water increases with the confluence of many tributaries and thus increases the load of the river. Thus, the predominant action of a river is transportation. The deposition also occurs due to the sudden decrease in velocity. The river in the middle course develops some typical landforms like alluvial fans, flood plains, meanders, ox-bow lakes, etc.,

(iii) The Lower course: The river, moving downstream across a broad, level plain is loaded with debris, brought down from its upper and middle courses. Large deposits of sediments are found at the level bed and the river splits into a number of channels called distributaries. The main work of the river here is a deposition and it develops typical landforms like delta and estuary.

Question 2.
Describe the Erosional landforms of Sea.
Answer:
Some of the erosional landforms of sea waves are sea cliff, sea cave, arch, stack, beach, bar and spit and wave-cut platform.

• Sea Cave: Prolonged wave attack on the base of a cliff erodes rock materials, which results in the formation of caves.
• Sea Arch: When two caves approach one another from either side of a headland and unite, they form an arch, e.g., Neil Island, Andaman, and Nicobar.
• Sea Stack: Further erosion by waves ultimately leads to the total collapse of the arch. The seaward portion of the headland will remain as a pillar of rock known as a stack. Eg the Old man of Hoy in Scotland.
• Sea Cliffs: Sea cliffs are steep rock faces formed when sea waves dash against them. The rocks get eroded to form steep vertical walls.
• WaveCut Platforms: Flat surface found at the foot of sea cliffs are called wave-cut platforms. Wave cut platform is also referred to as beach, shelf, terrace, and plain.
