Correct Answer: Lucien Febvre.

Key Points

• In the twentieth century, possibilism got Stronghold after the publication of Blache’s article in 1913 where he categorically states that geography as a discipline seeks to measure and role of man in modifying the earth’s surface.
• This was further strengthened when his book was published in 1921 (English translation in 1926), though posthumously.
• He observes that nature gives man materials that have their inherent needs as well as limitations thus leading them to limited uses.
• Possibilism was further flourished by acclaimed historian Lucien Febvre(1878-1956).
• He puts forward “Whatever the men do in their own environment, they cannot completely rid of themselves completely”.
• Febvre emphasized human initiative and motivation against the environment, destroying the environmental deterministic reasoning and as part of the environment of any group, as well as other humans, because they belong to the next group's cultural surroundings or the constraints of the environment are influenced by such thinking,
• He stated that in the view of possibilists, a homogeneous region does not necessarily result in a homogeneous society.
• This is because people residing in any area have the choice of possibilities from time to time and also in the quantity they want.

Additional Information

• The movement from a state of necessity to a state of freedom creates possibilities with resources obtained from the environment.
• For example, Nature provides opportunities and human beings make use of these opportunities by creating their imprints everywhere. Concept: Nature of Human Geography.
• The term Possibilism means that the environment only limits the number of choices that a person has.
• At its heart, possibilism follows the notion that humans have commanding power over their environment, albeit within certain limits.

The correct option is (3)

Concept:-

Scanning, Manual digitizing and Automatic digitizing are the methods may be used to input paper maps into a GIS.

Key Points

• Paper maps are static depictions of land features as they existed at the time they were made.
• A digitising tablet, which is a manual pointing device that creates an equivalent vector map on the computer screen, specifying the vertices, points, line data, and so on, is used to manually digitise directly over the raster.
• GIS was created as an enhancement to the usage and analysis of traditional paper maps.
• A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer programme that captures, stores, checks, and displays data about locations on the Earth's surface.
• In a GIS, digitising is the process of converting coordinates from a map, photograph, or other source of data into a digital format.
• Scanning is the process of converting paper maps into a digital format that can be read by a computer. It's used to turn an analogue map into a scanned file, which is then traced into vector format.

Aerial photographs are most useful when fine spatial detail s more critical than spectral information, as their spectral resolution is generally coarse when compared to data captured with electronic sensing devices. The geometry of vertical devices is well understood and it is possible to make very accurate measurements from them.

The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

Tectonic Plates:

• A tectonic plate (also called a lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly-shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.
• A tectonic plate may be a continental plate or an oceanic plate, depending on which of the two occupies the larger portion of the plate.

The Major and Minor Plates: The Earth’s lithosphere is divided into seven major and some minor plates.

• Young Fold Mountain ridges, oceanic trenches, and/or transform faults surround the major plates. These include:
  • The Antarctic (and the surrounding oceanic) plate. Hence, option 4 is correct.

The correct answer is A, B and C.

Key Points

• Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the sea level, once or twice a day.
• Tides are caused by the earth-moon-sun positions.
• They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun.
• Causes of tides are:
  • Sun's gravitational pull
  • Moon's gravitational pull
  • Centrifugal force
• Centrifugal force is the force that acts to counter balance the gravity.
• Tides vary in their frequency, direction and movement from place to place and also from time to time.

Thus, we can say that the moon's gravitational pull, the sun's gravitational pull and the centrifugal force are causes of tides.

The correct answer is option 4.

Concept:

Geographic information system:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that generates, maintains, analyses, and maps various data types. GIS links data to a map by combining location data (where objects are) with several forms of descriptive data. This lays the groundwork for mapping and analysis used in science and almost every industry. GIS assists users in comprehending patterns, connections, and spatial context.

Explanation:

Some of the question(s) may be best answered using a GIS:

• What is at a particular location?
• Where do certain conditions apply?
• What has changed since the trends?
• Where is a particular feature found?
• What geographical patterns exist?

Hence the correct answer is All options are correct.

The correct answer is 3 only.

Key Points Peninsular Drainage System

• The peninsular drainage system is older than the Himalayan drainage system.
• The peninsular rivers are devoid of meanders and almost have a fixed course.
• They carry less amount of water compared to the Himalayan river and are dry during the summer season.
• The drainage basins of the peninsular are comparatively smaller in size compared to the Himalayan Rivers.
• The Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery and other rivers drain (eastward) into the Bay of Bengal.
• The Narmada and Tapi river flow (westward) into the Arabian sea.

The bhabar lies along the foothills of the Shivalik from the Indus river to the Tista. It consists of pebble-studded rocks in the shape of porous beds and due to the porosity of this zone all the stream disappears here.

The Bhangar is not much suitable for cultivation due to the presence of older alluvium and it forms the alluvial terrace above the level of flood plains. One major characteristic of bhangar is that it is impregnated with calcareous deposits, Kankar.

The Tarai is situated to the south of the Bhabar and has alluvium deposits that are much finer than that present in bhabar. It is an area of excessive dampness. Most of the Tarai land has been reclaimed for agriculture.

The khadar represents the flood plain with newer alluvium. The khadar is characterised by clay and fertile soil and as a result intensive agriculture is practiced here.

The correct answer is Option 4 is correct.

Key Points

• Generally, salinity decreases from the equator towards the pole but the highest salinity is seldom recorded near the tropics (30° N and 20° W - 60° W).
• Near the equator, there is heavy rainfall, high relative humidity, cloudiness, and calm air of the doldrums.
• The maximum oceanic salinity (37ppt) is observed between 20° N and 30° N and 20° W - 60° W. It gradually decreases towards the north. Hence, Statement 1 is not correct
• The polar areas experience very little evaporation and receive large amounts of fresh water from the melting of ice. This leads to low levels of salinity, ranging between 20ppt and 32ppt.
• One needs to understand here that statement first is correct.
• On average, salinity decreases from the equator towards the poles.
• However, it is important to note that the highest salinity is seldom recorded near the equator though this zone records high temperature and evaporation high rainfall reduces the relative proportion of salt. Thus, the equator accounts for only 35‰ salinity.
• If we talk about the statement of Reason- it is incorrect because Salinity further decreases in the polar zones because of the influx of Glacial melt-water.

The correct answer is Madhya Pradesh has third rank in the country in wind power capacity.

Key PointsWind power capacity of India:

• India has emerged as one of the world's leaders in wind power capacity.
• The country has set ambitious targets for wind energy development, aiming to achieve 60 GW of wind power capacity by 2022.
• Several states in India have favorable conditions for wind energy, including Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Karnataka.
• Tamil Nadu has the highest wind power capacity among all states in India, followed by Gujarat and Maharashtra.
• Tamil Nadu's wind power capacity was about 24% of the country in the year 2021.
• Gujarat has around 22% of the total wind power capacity of the country.
• Madhya Pradesh ranks 8th in the total wind power capacity in the country.
• The government of India has implemented various policies and incentives to promote wind energy, such as the generation-based incentive (GBI) scheme and the accelerated depreciation benefit.
• India has also been actively promoting offshore wind energy projects, particularly along the coasts of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
• The growth of wind power in India has contributed to reducing the country's dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Unsupervised classification is a process whereby numerical operations are performed by the computer system itself that search for the natural groupings of the spectral properties of pixels in the multi spectral feature space. This method doesn't require much initial output and a priori knowledge of the scene as clustering does not involve training data.

Thus, the Correct answer is C.

The correct answer is The island from the mainland.

Tombolos are a type of isthmus. Tombolo forms as tides and waves create a thin strip of land between a coastal island and the mainland. The island connected to the mainland in a tombolo is called a tied island.

Important Points

•  A tombolo is a coastal formation that means when translated from Italian, “mound”.
• It appears to be a small island that has not entirely separated from the mainland. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
• This island-like landform is actually attached to the coast by a thin sand bar or spit. Tombolos are sometimes referred to as “tied islands” because it seems to tether to the coast.
• This formation can be either solitary or found in clusters. The sand bars may form a lagoon-like enclosure near the coast when clustered.
• These types of lagoons are likely to fill with sediment over time.

Additional Information

• Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, is a tombolo town located on a sandbar connecting the volcanic island of Mauao to the mainland. Mauao is an extinct volcano and is a popular spot for hiking and sightseeing on the local beaches.
• Those beaches offer diverse opportunities due to the tombolo formation.
•  Beaches on Mount Maunganui's isthmus facing Tauranga Harbor are calm and protected. Beaches on the other side of Mount Maunganui face the open ocean (the Pacific), with dramatic waves that are popular with surfers. 

Society is an expression of different social processes. Social processes, however, means those various modes of interactions between individuals or a number of groups which consist of cooperation, conflict, competition and assimilation. Competition is found in each society and in every class of society such as students, laborer’s, artists, etc. It enables the development of both the individuals and the nation.

Accommodation is what leads to social harmony. It is close to cooperation and conflict and thus must take trends in both the areas into consideration. It checks conflicts and enables all to work in close cooperation with each other.

The Lateritic soils are widely spread over an area of 2.48 lakh sq. km. and is found mainly on the summits of Western Ghats , eastern Ghats, the Rajmahal Hills, Vindhyas, Satpura and Malwa plateau. These soils are of little use in agriculture because of low fertility caused by intensive leaching and lack of lime, silica, potash. But these soils provide materials for building purposes as they are considered as the end product of weathering and are durable.

The Correct Answer is West and Northwest.

Key Points

• Western Disturbances
  • Western Disturbances begin is a low-pressure system that originates in the Mid-latitude region near the Atlantic Ocean and Europe.
• Western Disturbances develop in the mid-latitude region (north of the Tropic of Cancer), not in the tropical region, therefore they are called mid-latitude storms or extra-tropical storms
• A characteristic feature of the cold weather season over the northern plains is the inflow of cyclonic disturbances from the west and the northwest.
• These low-pressure systems, originate over the Mediterranean Sea and western Asia and move into India, along with the westerly flow.
• They cause much-needed winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains.

Additional Information

• The low pressure typically forms over the Mediterranean Sea and travels over Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan before entering India loaded with moisture.
• This disturbance is usually associated with a cloudy sky, higher night temperatures, and unusual rain.
• These moisture-laden western disturbances eventually come up against the Himalayas and get blocked, as a consequence, the moisture gets trapped and precipitation is shared in the form of snow and rain over Northwest India and sometimes, other parts of North India.
• The rainfall during the winter season helps agriculture, particularly for rabi crops including wheat, which is one of the most important Indian crops.

Option 4) Expansion of deserts and decrease in overall rainfall.

Global warming is a major threat to the planet, and it is already having a number of serious consequences. These consequences include rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and disruption of water supplies from melting glaciers. However, not all of the options listed in the query are direct consequences of global warming.

Key Points

Expansion of deserts and decrease in overall rainfall

• Expansion of deserts and decrease in overall rainfall is not a direct consequence of global warming.
• While climate change can affect precipitation patterns, it is not clear whether it will lead to an expansion of deserts and a decrease in overall rainfall.
• Global warming is a serious threat to the planet, and it is important to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate its effects.

Additional Information

Rising sea levels

Rising sea levels is a direct consequence of global warming. As the Earth's atmosphere warms, the oceans expand and glaciers melt, causing sea levels to rise. Rising sea levels can lead to flooding, erosion, and other coastal hazards.

Increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events

Increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is a direct consequence of global warming. As the Earth's atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture, which can lead to more frequent and intense storms, floods, and droughts.

Disruption of water supplies from melting glaciers

Disruption of water supplies from melting glaciers is a direct consequence of global warming. As glaciers melt, they can disrupt water supplies for communities and ecosystems downstream.

Option 3) Human activities leading to greenhouse gas emissions

The primary driver of global warming is human activities leading to greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Points

Human activities leading to greenhouse gas emissions:

• Human activities leading to greenhouse gas emissions are the primary driver of global warming.
• Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
• The main greenhouse gases released by human activities are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

Additional Information

Increased volcanic activity: Increased volcanic activity is not the primary driver of global warming. Volcanic eruptions can release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but the amount of greenhouse gases released by volcanoes is relatively small compared to the amount of greenhouse gases released by human activities.

Natural fluctuations in solar radiation: Natural fluctuations in solar radiation can affect the Earth's climate, but they are not the primary driver of global warming. The amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface has been relatively stable over the past century, while the Earth's temperature has continued to rise.

A sudden shift in Earth's magnetic field: A sudden shift in Earth's magnetic field is not the primary driver of global warming. The Earth's magnetic field protects the Earth from harmful solar radiation, but it does not affect the Earth's temperature.

Important Points

• The burning of fossil fuels is the main human activity that leads to greenhouse gas emissions.
• Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are burned.
• Other human activities that lead to greenhouse gas emissions include deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes.

Ocean currents

• Ocean currents are like rivers flowing in oceans.
• They represent a regular volume of water in a definite path and direction.
• Ocean currents are influenced by two types of forces namely :
  • Primary forces that initiate the movement of water;
  • Secondary forces that influence the currents to flow

Important Point

​​The primary forces that influence the currents are

• Heating by solar energy
• Wind
• Gravity

Coriolis force

• The Coriolis force intervenes and causes the water to move to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
• These large accumulations of water and the flow around them are called Gyres.
• These produce large circular currents in all the ocean basins.

Key Points

Effects of Ocean Currents

• ​Ocean currents have a number of direct and indirect influences on human activities.
• West coasts of the continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes (except close to the equator) are bordered by cool waters.
  • Their average temperatures are relatively low with narrow diurnal and annual ranges.
  • There is fog, but generally, the areas are arid.
• West coasts of the continents in the middle and higher latitudes are bordered by warm waters which cause a distinct marine climate.
  • They are characterized by cool summers and relatively mild winters with a narrow annual range of temperatures.
• Warm currents flow parallel to the east coasts of the continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes.
  • This results in warm and rainy climates.
  • These areas lie in the western margins of the subtropical anti-cyclones.
• The mixing of warm and cold currents helps to replenish the oxygen and favor the growth of planktons, the primary food for the fish population.
  • The best fishing grounds of the world exist mainly in these mixing zones.

Hence, it is can be concluded from the above discussion that the deflection of wind due to the Coriolis force is not an effect of ocean current.
