Q1

What is isostasy?

A1

Isostasy is the gravitational equilibrium between Earth's crust and mantle, explaining vertical movements due to loading/unloading, such as glacial rebound or mountain root adjustment.
Q2

What is a ‘Drainage Density’ in morphometric analysis?

A2

Drainage density is the total stream length per unit area. High density indicates impermeable surfaces, steep slopes, or sparse vegetation, influencing runoff and erosion intensity.
Q3

Distinguish between ‘site’ and ‘situation’ in settlement geography.

A3

Site refers to the actual physical land a settlement occupies (e.g., valley). Situation describes its relative location to other places, affecting connectivity and economic potential.
Q4

What is the concept of ‘Multi-level Planning’ in India?

A4

It is decentralized planning involving village, block, district, and state levels for integrated regional development, ensuring local resource utilization and participatory governance.
Q5

What is the difference between isopleth and isochrone maps?

A5

Isopleths join points of equal value of continuous phenomena (e.g., temperature). Isochrones join points of equal travel time from a specific origin point.
Q6

Define ‘Heartland Theory’ in geopolitics.

A6

Proposed by Mackinder, it states that the ‘Pivot Area’ (Eurasia) controls the world island. “Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; who rules Heartland commands the World-Island.”
Q7

What is ‘Buffer Zone’ in political geography?

A7

A neutral, often demilitarized area between two rival states to reduce conflict probability, e.g., historical Afghanistan between British India and Russian Empire.
Q8

Explain ‘Flysch’ in geomorphology.

A8

Flysch is a sequence of sedimentary rocks (sandstone, shale, marl) deposited in deep marine basins during a mountain-building phase, often folded and faulted in orogenic belts.
Q9

What is ‘Slash and Burn’ agriculture called in different regions?

A9

It is known as Jhum in Northeast India, Milpa in Central America, Ladang in Indonesia, and Swidden in general. It involves clearing forest by felling and burning.
Q10

Define ‘Carbon Sequestration’ in environmental geography.

A10

It is the capture and storage of atmospheric CO₂ through biological (afforestation) or geological processes to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas levels.
