Anjali Kumar answered |
Percentage of the world's surface used for agriculture
The correct answer is option D, 35%.
Explanation:
Definition of agriculture
Agriculture is the practice of cultivating plants and rearing animals for food, fiber, medicinal plants, and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.
Calculating the percentage
To determine the percentage of the world's surface used for agriculture, we need to consider the total land area dedicated to agricultural practices. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, as of 2020, the total land area used for agriculture globally is approximately 4.9 billion hectares.
Calculating the total surface area of the Earth
The total surface area of the Earth is approximately 510 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to 510 million hectares.
Calculating the percentage
Now, we can calculate the percentage of the world's surface used for agriculture:
Percentage = (Agricultural land area / Total land area) * 100
Percentage = (4.9 billion hectares / 510 million hectares) * 100
Percentage ≈ 35%
Therefore, approximately 35% of the world's surface is used for agriculture in some form.
Importance of agriculture
Agriculture plays a crucial role in sustaining human life and the global economy. It provides food security, employment opportunities, raw materials for various industries, and contributes to the overall development of a nation. Sustainable agricultural practices are essential to ensure the availability of food for a growing global population while preserving natural resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Conclusion
Understanding the percentage of the world's surface used for agriculture helps to highlight the significant impact of agriculture on our planet. With approximately 35% of the Earth's surface dedicated to agricultural practices, it is essential to promote sustainable farming methods and ensure the efficient use of land and resources to meet the growing demands for food and other agricultural products.
The correct answer is option D, 35%.

Swati Sharma answered |
The correct option is C.
The time needed to form a soil depends on the latitude: in environments characterized by a mild climate, it takes 200-400 years to form 1 cm of soil. In wet tropical areas soil formation is faster, as it takes 200 years. In order to accumulate enough substances to make a soil fertile it takes 3000 years.

Sanchita Datta answered |
Sometime around 10,000-12,000 years ago, our hunter-gatherer ancestors began trying their hand at farming.
First, they grew wild varieties of crops like peas, lentils and barley and herded wild animals like goats and wild oxen. Centuries later, they switched to farming full time, breeding both animals and plants, creating new varieties and breeds. Eventually, they migrated outward, spreading farming to parts of Europe and Asia.

It was one of the first cultivated grains, particularly in Eurasia as early as 10,000 years ago.Barley has been used as animal fodder, as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages, and as a component of various health foods. It is used in soups and stews, and in barley bread of various cultures. Barley grains are commonly made into malt in a traditional and ancient method of preparation.
In 2014, barley was ranked fourth among grains in quantity produced (144 million tonnes) behind maize, rice and wheat.

Understanding the Assertion and Reason
The assertion states that rice is grown in the plains of the north, while the reason provided is that this region experiences high rainfall, specifically more than 100 cm.
Analysis of the Assertion (A)
- Rice is indeed cultivated in the northern plains of India, which includes states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
- These regions have fertile alluvial soil that supports rice cultivation effectively.
