Question 1.
\nWhat is a landform?
\nAnswer:
\nThe ups and downs, uneven slopes on the surface of the earth is called a landform.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nInto how many categories landforms can be divided?
\nAnswer:
\nLandforms can be divided into mountains, plateaus, and plains depending upon their elevation and slope.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nHow is the delta formed?
\nAnswer:
\nBefore joining the sea, a river divides into a large number of small streams. Before joining the sea the water slows down and can\u2019t carry the sediment which forms the delta.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhy do plain areas have dense settlements?
\nAnswer:
\nPlains are suitable for building houses and cultivation. Because of fertile soil, the land is highly productive and transportation is also easy in plains. So plains have dense settlements.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nCompare the various types of soils that prevailed in different landforms.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Plains<\/td>\nPlateau<\/td>\nMountains<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Alluvial soils Deep and Fertile<\/td>\nRed and saline soils.
\nSaline soils have a high content of lime and salts.
\nLava Plateaus are rich in black soil that is fertile.<\/td>\n		Soils are uneven and sloped Red and Rocky soil.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Question 6.
\nWhy did the government declare some mandals as drought-hit?
\nAnswer:
\nDrought means a long period where there is little or no rain. In plateau regions, rains are very little and unreliable. Because of low rainfall, farmers lost their crops. To aid them the government declares some mandals as drought-hit.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\n\u201cPhysical and climate feature determine the economic activities of a region\u201d. Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nLocation and climate have large effects on income levels and income growth. People living in the plains depend on agriculture. Because of fertile soil, this region is highly productive. As transportation is also easy the plain regions have more economic activities than plateau and mountain regions. Plateau regions have fewer economic activities because of low rainfall. This region has an underlying influence on the people who live here. In hilly regions people completely depend on rainfall and transportation is also not easy in this region. When compared to the plain region hilly region is also underlying influence upon the people there. So we can say physical and climatic feature determines the economic activities of a region.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nAre all the lands in your village agriculturally productive? If not give reasons.
\nAnswer:
\nAll the lands in my village are agriculturally productive.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nDo you think it is important to preserve the lifestyle of tribals – Why?
\nAnswer:
\nI think that it is important to preserve the lifestyle of tribals because they do not destroy the forests they use. Their lifestyle is also ecofriendly. If they follow the lifestyle of the people who live in plains they too destroy the forests. This will lead to low rainfall in hilly areas also. They possess good knowledge of forest which leads to more productivity of forest products. They take care of the environment in a lot of ways than expected.<\/p>\n

Question 10.
\nWhy kitchen garden is more important for the tribal people?
\nAnswer:
\nTribal people do not have daily markets. They can\u2019t go to the nearby cities and towns for essential commodities like vegetables. They may not have good transportation also. So, kitchen gardening is important for them as they grow vegetables in their backyards.<\/p>\n

Question 11.
\nWhy agriculture is a profitable trade in plains? Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nThe fertile soils in the plains are very deep and fertile. The alluvial soils are deposited as sediments. Using machines in cultivation is easy in plains. Rivers in plains forms deltas that are fertile. Underground water is also an added advantage in plains. They can cultivate two or three crops in a year. Good transportation facilities are available in plains. Produce can be easily transported to the markets. So, agriculture is a profitable trade in plains.<\/p>\n

        Question 4.
        \nWhy plain areas are densely populated? Write two reasons.
        \nAnswer:
        \nThe plains are densely populated because:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Plains are more suitable to construct buildings as well as cultivation.<\/li>\n
        2. Transport facilities are plenty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 5.
          \nGenerally, the villages located in plains will have good employment and standard of living. Why?
          \nAnswer:
          \nPlains in villages are fertile. They have plenty of water resources. Canals, underground water facilities are available in plains. They can use modern agricultural equipment also. So the production is also high. So, employment in agricultural activities is more. Transportation facilities are more and employment can be generated in this sector also. Construction of roads and buildings and for human inhabitation is suitable. So we can say that the villages located in plains will have good employment and standard of living.<\/p>\n

          Question 8.
          \nWhy hilly areas are suitable for plantation crops? Discuss with your Mends or teachers and write.
          \nAnswer:
          \nIn hilly areas, the soils are uneven and sloped. The soils in hilly areas are red and rocky. Due to their high elevation and the natural downward movement of water, the soils are well-drained. These soils are suitable for plantation crops like coffee and tea. For example, coffee is grown in the Araku valley in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

          Question 11.
          \nWhat are the major changes in the cropping pattern of the plateau region?
          \nAnswer:
          \nDue to the insufficient availability of water, only one crop can be grown here. Farmers in this region are trying to overcome this problem with various types of irrigation methods. Millet crops like ragi, sama, varagu, korra and groundnut are grown. Sometimes paddy, sugarcane, and fruit orchards are sown in this region. At present farmers are trying mixed crops like red gram, maize with groundnut. Farmers are trying contour bunding and organic farming to improve the soil quality As water facilities are fewer farmers are growing sweet lime, sapota and mango. These orchards require water in some seasons only and give regular returns. Wherever water is available plantation crops like banana, papaya, guava and pomegranate are being cultivated. In this way, major changes came in cropping patterns in plateau region when compared to the olden days.<\/p>\n

          Question 12.
          \nWhat are the problems we may face in, future by digging more bore wells? Find out and discuss the causes and possible solutions.
          \nAnswer:
          \nThe impact of bore wells includes scarcity of water, vanishing moisture in the soil as well as the fertility of the soil. More and more borewells in the same area may cause earthquakes.
          \nWe have to plant more trees, create small ponds, create small check dams, save rainwater, make water holding tanks to overcome this problem.<\/p>\n

          Question 13.
          \nCompare the rainfall in the coastal plains and in the interior plateau.
          \nAnswer:
          \nIn regions closer to the coast, rainfall is heavy but in northern and western plateau regions, meagre rainfall is observed. During October and November, heavy rainfall occurs due to northeast monsoon winds.<\/p>\n

          (Textbook Page No. 49)<\/p>\n

          Question 14.
          \nName the main rivers that flow through the plains of Andhra Pradesh.
          \nAnswer:
          \nKrishna and Godavari are the main rivers that flow through the plains of Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

          Question 18.
          \nWhy coastal deltas are rich in infertility?
          \nAnswer:
          \nBecause of floods, the soil in these areas will get fertile due to the continuous deposition of sediments by the rivers.<\/p>\n
