(4) Arunachal Pradesh is sparsely populated state in India.

Q. 2. (1) Brazil (2) The Himalayan forests (3) Pakistan (4) Nepal

Q. 3.
(1) Deltas are found on the eastern coast of India.
(2) Nearly 2.78 per cent of the world’s total population is in Brazil.
(3) Nucleated settlements are found in the river basin of Ganga.
(4) The standard time meridian of India passes through Allahabad city.

Q. 4. (B)
(1) Important railway routes and airports (air transport) are seen on the map.
(2) In northern part of India, especially in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the density of
railways is more.
(3) Two railway stations from the state of Rajasthan : Jaisalmer, Barmer.
(4) Two railway stations from the state of Tamil Nadu : Chennai, Kanyakumari.
(5) Two airports from the state of Maharashtra : Mumbai, Pune.
Q. 5.
(1) (1) The density of population in the Amazon river basin is comparatively low.
(2) The number of industries is also limited in this region. As its effect, the level of
water pollution of Amazon river is comparatively low.
(3) The density of population in the Ganga river basin is comparatively high. Many
industries have flourished in the Ganga river basin leading to increased water
pollution. Therefore, as compared to Amazon, pollution in river Ganga will affect
human life greatly.

(2) (1) Brazil ranks first in the world in terms of production of coffee.

(2) It produces nearly 40 per cent of the total coffee production of the world.
(3) It is the largest exporter of coffee. Therefore, Brazil is called ‘coffee pot’ of the
world.
(3) (1) The total area of Brazil is nearly 85,15,770 sq. km. On the other hand, the total
area of India is only 32,87,263 sq. km.
(2) The total population of Brazil is only 20 crores. On the other hand, the total
population of India is nearly 130 crores.

(3) Thus, compared to India, Brazil has more land and less population. Therefore,
per capita land availability is more in Brazil as compared to India.
(4) (1) 
Waterways are cheapest mode of transport. Waterways are highly suitable for
bulk transportation.
(2) In international trade, goods are imported and exported on a large scale.
(3) 
By sea routes, country can import and export goods with the minimum cost.
Therefore, we rely on the sea routes for international trade.

Q. 6. (A) Simple Bar Graph

(1) Amazon Basin receives the maximum average annual rainfall.

(2) ‘X’-axis represents physiographic divisions of Brazil.

(3) The amount of average annual rainfall in Brazilian Highlands is comparatively

low i.e. 600 mm.

OR

Q. 6. (B) (1) Compound bar graph is shown here.

(2) The graph shows the following details : (1) The percentage of Brazilian population

engaged in tourism in 2016. (2) The contribution of tourism in Brazil’s GDP

in 2016. (1) The percentage of Indian population engaged in tourism in

2016. (2) The contribution of tourism in India’s GDP in 2016.

(3) Brazil’s tourism has a larger share in the contribution towards GDP.

(4) India has a larger population engaged in tourism sector but contributes lesser in

GDP.

(5) Nearly 9.5 percentage of Indian population is engaged in tourism.

(6) The contribution of tourism in India’s GDP in 2016 is nearly 8.5 per cent.

Q. 7.

(1) We will take the following precautions continuously during field visit :

(1) We will ensure safety of oneself and others and will carry identity card, first aid

box, etc. with oneself for emergency circumstances.

(2) We will strictly obey the instructions given by teachers.

 (3) During field visit, we will try to gather information about local circumstances by
conversing with the local people.
(4) We will also ensure that one does not harm the environment in any way during
field visit.

(2) (1) The crops like rice, cacao are produced on a large scale in the coastal region.
(2) The crops like rice, cacao, etc. require hot and humid temperature and heavy
rainfall. Thus, the coastal region of Brazil has hot and humid temperature and
it receives heavy rainfall.
(3) The crops like coffee, soya bean, oranges, etc. are produced on a large scale in
Brazilian Highlands.
(4) 
The crops like coffee, soya bean, oranges, etc. require mild temperature and
medium rainfall. Thus, Brazilian highlands has mild temperature and it receives
moderate amount of rainfall.

(3) (1) 
The forests in Himalayan range are known as Himalayan forests. Himalayan
forests are classified into three types on the basis of altitude.

(2) The areas at higher altitude in Himalayan range are often covered with snow. In
summer, the snow from this region starts melting leading to growth of seasonal
flowing trees.

(3) The areas at medium altitude in the Himalayan range are covered with the forests
having the coniferous trees like pine, deodar, fir, etc. These trees have needle-
shaped leaves. These leaves allows for snow to easily glide off the branches.

(4) The areas at low altitude in the Himalayan range, i.e. at the foothills of Himalayan
range, mixed forests are found. Coniferous as well as deciduous types of forests
are found in this region. Sal trees are seen in greater quantities in most of these
forests.
