ans1.QC means end of a 100 km survey n beginning of anothewr 100kms
ans 2.yes afghanistan and myanmar are part of SAARC
they were included on 26th march 2006
ans4.brackish is an area with salty water
so the water is not suitable for drinking but is used for washin clothes and utensils
ans5.these streams dont join any river because these are disappearing streams
they are dry because of scanty rainfall
ans 6.the best soil for fruit cultivation is black soil because it has all the eessential minerals present and also has humus
above all it has high water retention capacity
ans 11.in trellised pattern the streams join the main river at a 90 degree angle in dendritic they are like branches of a tree emerging from anywhere
ans 12.(MOST IMP)for geography you get 9 ques out of which you are to attemp only 5
so do any 6 chptrs
do the topo sheet nicely and be perfect with map
you get 1 combined question from all the 3 agriculture chptrs,2 combined questions on position and extent and physical divisions
rest all have separate questions
so study accordingly

Active member

brakish wells form on maps due to seasonal rainfall

Active member

what is it bout seasonal rainfall.how does it cause brakish wells

Active member

due to salinisation of land...by adding excess fertilizers....or, the land must be near the sea...the ground water mixes with the saline water....this is just guessing.....

1) indus plain, gangetic plain, brahmaputra plain??????????

Indian subcontnent- lat- 8.4 n to 37n and long- 61 e to 97.25e

An atoll is a circular coral reef surrounding a lagoon.

festoon--long, curved chain of oceanic islands associated with intense volcanic and seismic activity and orogenic (mountain-building) processes

Something different :
1. I just want to know what did you all do while measuring the
cart- track distance between 2 villages
Do you all take the mid point of the village or do you consider the starting point of the village ?
2. what do you do when they ask you to find the distance between two villages : do U use the crow's fly method or measure the cart-track distance ?

PLEASE DO ANSWER

Active member

ans.2 we use the crowfly method
ans1.starting point of one village n end point of another
but i guess the cart track is visible
