<\/p>\n Question 13.
\nRead the following paragraph and write your opinion on its content.
\nThe formation of the Himalayas influences the climate in various ways. These act as hornets protecting the great plains of India from the cold winds of central Asia during severe winter. The Himalayas are the reason for summer rains and monsoon type climate in regions that are beyond the Western Ghats of India. In its absence, this region would have remained drier. The Himalayan Rivers have a perennial flow since these are fed by the glaciers and bring a fat of silt, making these plains very fertile.<\/em>
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n- According to the paragraph given, it is dearly understood that the Himalayas are useful to India in many ways.<\/li>\n
- It means that because of the Himalayas only there are fertile soils, sufficient rainfall, and perennial rivers and so it is useful to agriculture which is the backbone of our economy.<\/li>\n
- I agree with this paragraph because every point discussed here is correct.<\/li>\n
- The Himalayas are extending in the north of our country from Jammu Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh for about 2400 kilometers.<\/li>\n
- Automatically they stop the cold winds blowing from central Asia because our cultivable lands are in the south.<\/li>\n
- If the Himalayas were not there, India would become dry land or a desert.<\/li>\n
- Though we have many benefits from the Himalayas, the passes of the Himalayas caused for foreigners to invade our country and these helped in exchanging business and culture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Question 14.
\nRead the following paragraph and write your opinion on the condition of the area as well as people living there.
\nThe Thar Desert is located on the leeward side afAravalis and receives very low amount of rainfall, ranging from 100 to 150 mm per year. The desert consists of an undulating sandy plain and rocky outcrops. It occupies much of western Rajasthan. It has an arid climate with very law vegetation cover. Streams appear during the rainy season and disappear soon after. ‘Luni’ is the only river in this area. These internal drainage rivers fill into the lakes and don’t reach the sea.<\/em>
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n- This paragraph says that much of western Rajasthan is sandy and without adequate rainfall.<\/li>\n
- Without sufficient rainfall we can’t expect proper cultivation and production of crops.<\/li>\n
- Though Rajasthan ranks first in the area it has maximum desert area.<\/li>\n
- According to this paragraph, there are a few streams which can be seen during rainy season.<\/li>\n
- The unfortunate thing of the people living there is that the area is in the leeward side of the Aravali Mountains.<\/li>\n
- The southwest monsoons remain empty by reaching there.<\/li>\n
- My opinion is that the people should make a few changes in their livelihoods.<\/li>\n
- They should grow more crops during rainy season. It would be better for them to go for multiple cropping.<\/li>\n
- They grow food crops with the help of Indira Gandhi canal water irrigation.<\/li>\n

\nThe geographical location of India provides its vast diversity in climatic conditions. This has led to a variety of vegetation and life forms along with advantages for growing many kinds of crops. Its long coastline and location in the Indian Ocean enabled trade routes as well as fishing.<\/em>
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n- According to this paragraph, the geographical location of India is very prosperous.<\/li>\n
- India has ocean water on the three sides whereas the high Himalayan Mountains in the north.<\/li>\n
- These Himalayas give birth to various perennial rivers because of glaciers so as to grow more crops and this led to a variety of vegetation.<\/li>\n
- In my opinion, there are a few benefits as well as losses to the people living in coastal plains and hilly areas.<\/li>\n
- The coastal people face some drastic situations when there is a tsunami or cyclones.<\/li>\n
- The people living in hilly areas face the problem of landslides.<\/li>\n
- Nowadays global warming is increasing. It may lead to submerge of coastal cultivable lands.<\/li>\n
- People may face many problems.<\/li>\n
- Along with these problems they have the opportunity of maintaining foreign trade with the help of sea routes.<\/li>\n
- Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Mumbai and Cochin are some of the examples for the trade cen\u00acters of sea routes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
