MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF GEOGRAPHY ICSE CLASS 10 , PART 03

1. REASON: TERRANCE FARMING IS AN IDEAL FOR SOIL CONSERVATION FOR HILLY REGIONS

ü Steps are built on the slopes of the mountains to create flat lands to grow crops .Terrance farming is useful as it shows down the speed of water running down the mountain and preserves soil from erosion.

2. DRY FARMING IS PREFERRED IN AREA WITH RED SOIL

ü Because red soil is formed due to poor rainfall.

3. WIND IS COMMON AGENT FOR SOIL EROSION IN ARIED REGION

ü Arid regions are devoid of any moisture and have scanty vegetation cover, hence wind blows off soil is common agent of soil erosion.

4. BRIEFLY : MENTION ONE WAY IN WHICH MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOIL EROSION

ü cutting down the tree in forests i.e. deforestation led soil erosion

5. HOW CAN DEEPENING OF RIVERBEDHELP IN PREVENTING SOIL?

ü Deepening of the river bed decreases the flow the river which helps in preventing soil erosion.

6. MENTION PHYSICAL CHARACTER OF LATERITE SOIL.

ü Laterite soil is formed by leaching. It is found in Andra Pradesh, Tamil nadu, west Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka, etc.

ü the characteristics of laterite soil are 1.red in color with high content of iron oxides

2. Poor in nitrogen and lime

3. Rich in iron

4. Course in texture.

5. Soft and friable.

6. High content of acidity and inability to retain moisture

7. WHY DOES ALLUVIAL SOIL DIFFER IN TEXTURE?

ü Alluvial soil differs in texture because it is formed due to erosional, depositional and transportation activities by river. So the upper coarse in the river is coarse and in the lower coarse is fine.

8. STATE TWO CROPS THAT WELL GROW IN ALLUVIAL SOIL =

ü Cereals and cotton

9. NAME ONE IMPORTANT CROP THAT GROWN IN BLACK SOIL=

ü Jower and wheat

10. GIVE CHEMICAL PROPERTY OF BLACK SOIL

ü Rich in iron, potash, lime, calcium, alumina, magnesium and carbonates.

11. WHY RED SOIL REQUIRES IRRIGATION.
