GEOGRAPHY Test Series No. XI (Geomorphology) Time allowed: Three Hours Maximum Marks: 250 Question paper specific instructions Please read the following instructions carefully before attempting questions: There are EIGHT questions divided in to TWO SECTIONS. Candidate has to attempt FIVE questions in all. Question no. 1 and 5 are compulsory and out of remaining, THREE are to be attempted choosing at least ONE from each section. The number of marks carried by a question / part is indicated against it. Word limit in questions, whenever specified, should be adhered to. Illustrate your answers with suitable sketches / maps and diagrams, whenever considered necessary. SECTION – A Q1. a) Draw the outline map of the world; mark the location of all of the following. Write the significance of these locations, whether physical/commercial/economic/ecological/environment/cultural, in not more than 30 words for each entry: [10] i) ii) iii) iv) v) Belcher Island. Katanga Basin. Lake Toba. Carlsberg Ridge. Pyrenees. b) Rejuvenated Landforms. [15] c) How did Palaeomagnetism vindicate drifting of continents? d) Peneplain [15] [10] Q2. a) “Almost all gigantic folded Mountains born out of the womb of geosynclines” – explain the concept of Geosynclines and mountain building. [20] b) Critically evaluate and discuss the relevance of the Continental Drift theory of Alfred Wegener? [15] c) What is the concept of Isostasy? Discuss the postulations of Airy and Pratt regarding geodetic anomalies in Himalayan region. [15] Q3. a) Discuss the significance of the applied geomorphology. [15] b) Explain the crux of the ‘Continental Drift theory’ and how does it paved the way for the further theory of Plate tectonics? [20] c) Describe the landforms associated with fluvial erosion and deposition. [15] Q4. a) Analyse the concept of Plate Tectonics and discuss the concepts support it. [20] b) Discuss the conditions of interior of the earth based on the seismology. [15] c) Critically evaluate the forces for continents movements as discussed by the Wegener and Plate tectonics theory. [15] SECTION-B Q5. a) Discuss the concept of cycle of erosion and bring out clearly the difference between the views of Davis and Penck. [20] b). Folds [10] c).Volcanic land forms. [10] d). Pediplain. [10] Q6. a). Concept of Sea-floor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean with suitable diagram [20] b). Describe the principal eroded and depositional landforms associated with glacial areas. [15] c).Discuss the Karst cycle of erosion in mountainous areas. [15] Q7. a) “Plate boundaries are the zone of almost all tectonic events” – elucidate. [20] b) Discuss the concept of polycyclic landforms. [15] c). Write a short note on weathering and soil formation. [15] Q8. a) Bring out the similarities and differences between the continental drift and plate tectonics theory. b) “Structure is dominant control factor in the evolution of landforms.” Discuss with suitable examples. [15] c) Explain the delta formation and various types of deltas.[15] -000- GEOGRAPHY Test Series No. XII (Climatology) Time allowed: Three Hours Maximum Marks: 250 Question paper specific instructions Please read the following instructions carefully before attempting questions: There are EIGHT questions divided in to TWO SECTIONS.
