Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 1

Assertion : Alluvial soil is ideal for growth of paddy, wheat, cereal and pulse crops. This statement is True. As, Alluvial soil contains adequate proportion of potash, phosphoric acid and lime which are ideal for the growth of sugarcane, paddy, wheat and other cereal and pulse crops.

Reason : Alluvial soil is well-known for its capacity to hold moisture. This statement is False. As,  Black soil is known for its capacity to hold moisture, not alluvial soil. 

Hence A is True and R is False.

Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 8

In the question given below there are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read the statements and choose the correct option:

Assertion (A) : India has varied relief features, landforms, climatic realms and vegetation types.

Reason (R) : These have been deposited by three important Himalayan river systems–the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 8

India has varied relief features, landforms, climatic realms, and vegetation types.
The relief of India varies with region. There are plains in central India, coastal plains adjoining either side of the peninsula, a plateau between the coastal plains, a desert region in the western part, hilly northeast, and finally, the mighty Himalayas in the north. The varied vegetation in each region results from the monsoons' varying climatic conditions. India's climate is heavily dependent on the monsoon. The plains form most of the land area due to the alluvial deposition by rivers. The Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Indus rivers are the major contributors to this. Therefore, (A) is correct, but (R) is wrong.

Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 9

Match the following items given in column A with those in column B.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 9
(i) Black soil: Black soils are derivatives of trap lava and are spread mostly across interior Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh on the Deccan lava plateau and the Malwa Plateau, where there is both moderate rainfall and underlying basaltic rock.

(ii) Alluvial Soil: This type of soil is widespread in the Northern Plains of India. Alluvial soils are rich in humus as they are deposited by three important river of Himalayas, Indus river, Ganges and Brahmaputra River.

(iii) Arid Soil: Arid soils range from red to brown in colour. They are generally sandy in texture and saline in nature. In some areas the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water. Due to the dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture. After proper irrigation these soils become cultivable as has been in the case of western Rajasthan.

(iv) Forest Soil: The soils found in the Himalayas are diverse in character depending upon altitude, vegetation cover, slope, structure and stage. The major soil groups in the Himalayas are brown hill soil, sub-mountain soils, mountain meadow soil and red loamy soils, apart from other less significant types.

Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 10

Match the following items given in column A with those in column B.

Detailed Solution for Assertion & Reason Test: Resources & Development - Question 10
(i) Red and Yellow Soil: Yellow and red soils are also found in parts of Odisha and Chattisgarh and in the southern parts of the middle Ganga plain. The soil develops a reddish colour due to a wide diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks. It looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form.

(ii) Laterite Soil: The laterite soils are commonly found in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and the hilly areas of Odisha and Assam.

(iii) Alluvial Soil: Through a narrow corridor in Rajasthan, they extend into the plains of Gujarat. In the Peninsular region, they are found in deltas of the east coast and in the river valleys. The alluvial soils vary in nature from sandy loam to clay. They are generally rich in potash but poor in phosphorous.

(iv) Black Soil: Black soils are derivatives of trap lava and are spread mostly across interior Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh on the Deccan lava plateau and the Malwa Plateau, where there is both moderate rainfall and underlying basaltic rock.
