    CH-OUR CHANGING EARTH

    NCERT QUESTIONS

    Q.1 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS-

    (i) Why do the plates move?


    Ans The plates move because of the
    movement of the molten magma
    inside the earth.

    (ii) What are exogenic and endogenic


    forces?
    Ans(a) Exogenic forces-The forces that work
    on the surface of the earth are called
    as exogenic forces.
    (b) Endogenic forces-The forces that act
    in the interior of the earth are called
    are called as endogenic forces.

    (iii) What is erosion?


    Ans Erosion is the wearing away of the
    landscape by different agents like
    water,wind,ice etc.

    (iv) How are flood plains formed?


    Ans During floods layer of fine soil and
    other material called
    sediments are deposited on the
    river bank.This deposition leads to
    the formation of a flat fertile flood
    plains.

    (v) What are sand dunes?


    Ans Sand dunes are low hill like structure
    formed by the deposition of
    sand in the desert.
    (vi) How are beaches formed?
    Ans Beaches are formed when the sea
    waves deposit sediments along the
    shores of the sea.

    (vii) What are ox-bow lakes?


    Ans When the meander loop is cut off
    from the main river it forms a cut off
    lake.As its shape is like an ox-bow it
    is known as ox-bow lake.

    Q.2 TICK THE CORRECT ANSWER(TO BE


    DONE IN THE BOOK ONLY)
    (i) (a)Cliff
    (ii) (b) Moraine
    (iii) (c) Volcano
    (iv) (d) Desert
    (v) (e)River valley

    Q.3 MATCH THE FOLLOWING


    (TO BE DONE IN THE BOOK ONLY)
    (i) Glaciers River of ice
    (ii) Meanders Hard bed rock
    (iii) Beach Sea shores
    (iv) Sanduned Desert
    (v) Waterfall Rivers
    (vi) Earthquake Viberations of
    earth

    Q.4 GIVE REASONS


    (i) Some rocks have the shape of a
    mushroom.
    Ans Reasons-In desert,wind erodes the
    lower section of the rocks more than
    the upper section which makes the
    base of the rock narrow and the
    upper part wide giving it the shape
    of mushroom.

    (ii) Flood plains are very fertile.


    Ans Reasons-Flood plains are formed by
    the deposition of fine fertile soil and
    other material called sediments on
    the river bank.As the soil and
    sediments are brought by flood
    water therefore they are very
    fertile.

    (iii) Sea caves are turned into stacks.


    Ans Reasons-When the cavities in the sea
    caves become bigger and bigger only
    the roof of the caves are leftover,
    which forms sea arches.Further due
    erosion the roof breaks and only
    walls are left,turning the sea caves
    into stacks.

    (iv) Building collapse due to earthquake.


    Ans Reasons-When the lithospheric plates
    move,the surface of the earth vibrates
    and then these vibrations travel
    outwards from the epicentre in the
    form of waves which leads to sudden
    movement and result in the collapse
    of building.
    ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS-

    Q.1 What do you know about lithospheric


    plates?
    Ans The earth’s crust consists of several
    large and small rigid and irregularly
    shaped plates called lithospheric
    plates.

    Q.2 What is a volcano?


    Ans A volcano is a vent(opening)in the
    earth’s crust through which molten
    material comes out suddenly.

    Q.3 Explain the following terms


    (a) Focus
    (b) Epicentre
    Ans(a) Focus-The place in the crust where
    the movement starts is called the
    Focus.
    (b) Epicentre-The place on the surface
    above the focus is called Epicentre.

    Q.4 Name the three types of earthquake


    waves.
    Ans Do it yourself.

    Q.5 What is seismograph?


    Ans Do it yourself.

    Q.6 When did earthquake occur in Bhuj


    (Gujarat)?
    Ans Do it yourself.

    Q.7 Name the scale on which the


    magnitude of the earthquake is
    measured.
    Ans Richter scale

    Q.8 What is delta?


    Ans A triangular shaped island formed
    at the mouth of the river by
    deposition of sediments is called a
    delta.

    Q.9 Name the highest waterfall of the


    world.
    Ans Do it yourself.

    Q.10 Where is Victoria Falls located?


    Ans Do it yourself.
    Q.11 Name few rivers of the world that
    form a delta.
    Ans Do it yourself.

    lagoons,sea cliffs etc.
