IV. Define:
1. Sea breeze: The wind blowing from the sea to the land during day is called sea breeze.
2. Southern hemisphere: the part of the Earth between the south pole and the equator
is called southern hemisphere.
3. Northern hemisphere: The part of the Earth between the north pole and equator is
called northern hemisphere.
4. Gravity: The force that pulls every object down towards the centre of the Earth is
called gravity.
5. Land breeze: The wind blowing from the land to the sea at night is called land breeze.
6. Simple machines: The tools used to make our work easier are called simple machines.
V. Answer the following (Short answers):
1. The ability to do work is called energy. Sun, wind, fuels and water are some sources of
energy.
2. Chlorination is the process by which chlorine is added to water in order to kill germs
present in it.
3. The sun, eight planets, their moons and other heavenly objects form the solar system.
4. The force that acts when two objects are in contact with each other is called friction.
It is the friction which helps us to walk without slipping.
