VI. Short Answer Type Questions

Answer: During cold weather season (winter), the sunrays do not fall directly in the region. As a result the
temperatures are quite low in northern India. In hot weather season (summer), the sunrays fall directly in
the region. Hence, temperature becomes very high. Hot and diy winds called loo blow during the day time.

place, altitude, distance from the sea and relief. For examples, Jaisalmer and Bikaner in the desert of
Rajasthan are very hot while Drass and Kargil in Jammu and Kashmir are very cold. Coastal places like
Mumbai and Kolkata experience moderate climate. It means these places are neither very hot nor very cold.
Mawsynram in Meghalaya receives the world’s highest rainfall, while Jaisalmer receives least rainfall.

Answer: (i) Cold weather season, i.e. winter remains from December to February.

5. Write a note on mountain vegetation.

Answer: Mountains are homes of various species of trees. They are found according to the variation in
height. With increase in height, the temperature falls. At a height between 1500 metres and 2500 metres
most of the trees are conical in shape. Such trees are called coniferous trees. Mountain vegetation includes
trees such as chir, pine and deodar.
6. How are forests important for us? [V. Imp.]

Answer: Forests play a vital role in the life of the human beings and in their absence we can’t imagine life.
Plants release oxygen that we breathe and absorb carbon dioxide. The roots of the plants bind the soil and
in this way check soil erosion. We get several things from the forests, such as wood for furniture, fuel,
fodder, medicinal herbs, honey, lac, gum, fruits etc.Forests provide natural habitat to the wildlife, such as
lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, etc.As forests are so bene cial for us, we must make efforts to conserve
it.
7. What should we do to conserve wildlife? [V. Imp.]

Answer: We must not involve in hunting and poaching of wild animals. We can refuse to buy things made
from parts of the bodies of animals such as their bones, horns, fur, skins and feathers. It will be an effective
way to conserve wildlife. We should participate in the wildlife week which falls in the rst week of October
and try to create awareness of conserving the habitats of the animal kingdom.
VII.Long Answer Type Questions

1. Explain different types of seasons found in India
Answer: Four major seasons are found in India:

(i) Cold Weather Season (Winter). This season occurs in the month of December and lasts upto the month
of February. During this season temperature remains cold in the northern India because the sunrays do not
fall directly in the region. ,
(ii) Hot weather season (Summer). This season starts in the month of March and ends in the month of
May. During this season temperature becomes very hot because the sunrays fall directly in the region. Hot
and dry winds called loo blow during the day time.
(iii)South West monsoon season (Rainy season). This season is marked by the advent and advance of
monsoon. The winds blow from Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal towards the land. They carry moisture with
them. When these winds strike the mountain barriers it begins raining.
(iv) Season of retreating monsoon (Autumn). This is the season of retreating monsoons. During this
season winds move back from the mainland to the Bay of Bengal. The southern parts of India receive
rainfall in this season.
2. Mention different types of vegetation found in India. [V. Imp.)

Answer: Five different types of vegetation is found in India:
(i)Tropical rain forests. These forests are found in the areas which receive heavy rainfall. They are very
dense and sunlight never reach the ground. The trees of these forests shed their leaves at different times of
the year. Therefore, they always appear green are called evergreen forests. Important trees of these forests
are mahogany, ebony and rosewood. They are found in Andaman and Nicobar islands, parts of North-
Eastern states and a narrow strip of the western slope of the Western Ghats.
(ii) Tropical deciduous forests. These forests are also known as monsoon forests and are found in a large
part of the country. They are less dense. They shed their leaves at a particular time of the year. Sal, teak,
neem, peepal and shisham are important trees found in these forests. Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh,
Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa etc. are home of these forests.
(iii) Thorny bushes. They are found in the dry areas. Cactus, khair, babool and Keekar are important thorny
bushes. They are found in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, etc.
(iv) Mountain Vegetation. A variety of trees are found in the mountains. They are conical in shape. Hence
trees are called conical trees. Chir, pine and deodar are important trees of these forests.
(v) Mangrove Forests. These forests grow in saline water. They are found in Sundarbans in west Bengal and
in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Sundari is a well-known species of trees in mangrove-forests.
3. Describe the wildlife of India [V. Imp.]

Answer: Forests are home to wildlife, which include several species of animals and a variety of reptiles,
amphibians, mammals, birds, insects and worms.

Asiatic lions. Elephants and one-homed rhinoceroses are found in the forests of Assam. Elephants are
