1.	Observe the map and answer the following questions.(i) Which economic activities are shown in the following map? (ii) In which region do you don’t find any activity? what could be the reason? (iii) In which latitudes do you primarily find the distribution of lumbering activity? (iv) Why is fishing occupation only found in certain areas in the oceans? (v) Which primary economic activities are mostly found in Europe? (vi) What production does the symbol of mining shown in seas and oceans depict? (vii) In which continent mining is not found? (viii) In which ocean is the world’s fishing mostly carried out? (ix) Which primary economic activities are found to the south of Tropic of Capricorn? (x) Which primary activity is found in the islands of South East Asia? (xi) Considering all four continents, in which continent do you find less agriculture being practiced? (xii) Write a paragraph on relationship between latitudinal extent of agriculture and climate in your own words.
Answer» (i) Agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, mining and lumbering are the economic activities shown in the map. (ii) In Antarctica region we do not find any activity because of permafrost and uninhabited continent. (iii) Lumbering activity is primarily found in 50° to 70° North latitudinal region. (iv) Fishing can develop only in those areas in the oceans where continental shelf is broad and shallow, meeting of cold and warm ocean water currents and availability plankton food for fish, cool climate etc. Since these physical factors are found only certain areas, so fishing occupation is developed in certain areas only. For example, Dogger banks in Europe or Grand Banks in north eastern part of USA etc. (v) Agriculture, lumbering, mining and animal husbandry are the primary economic activities found in Europe. (vi) A star (★) symbol for mining is shown for the production of mining in seas and oceans. (vii) Mining is not found in the continent of Antarctica. (viii)The world’s fishing is mostly carried out in the Atlantic Ocean. (ix) Agriculture, mining, fishing, lumbering and animal husbandry are the primary economic activities found to the south of Tropic of Capricorn. (x) Agriculture, fishing, and lumbering are the economic activities found in the islands of South East Asia. (xi) Out of the four continents less agriculture is practiced in the continent of Australia. (xii) Considering latitudinal extent except North Africa agricultural activities are important economic activities in latitudinal belt 8° to 50° North parallel of latitudes in the northern hemisphere and 20° to 45° latitudes in the southern hemisphere. Climate is the most important deciding factors in the development of agriculture. With the exception of a few areas, no country in this latitudinal belt experiences snowfall or frost. These weather phenomenon are harmful for the development of agriculture. Rainfall in this latitudinal belt is also sufficient and fairly distributed except deserts in continents of Asia and Africa. These are all generalised statements. However, agriculture in these latitudinal belts is affected as per the local variations in local weather conditions and physiography of the region

Answer»

(i) Agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, mining and lumbering are the economic activities shown in the map.

(ii) In Antarctica region we do not find any activity because of permafrost and uninhabited continent.

(iii) Lumbering activity is primarily found in 50° to 70° North latitudinal region.

(iv) Fishing can develop only in those areas in the oceans where continental shelf is broad and shallow, meeting of cold and warm ocean water currents and availability plankton food for fish, cool climate etc. Since these physical factors are found only certain areas, so fishing occupation is developed in certain areas only.

For example, Dogger banks in Europe or Grand Banks in north eastern part of USA etc.

(v) Agriculture, lumbering, mining and animal husbandry are the primary economic activities found in Europe.

(vi) A star (★) symbol for mining is shown for the production of mining in seas and oceans.

(vii) Mining is not found in the continent of Antarctica.

(viii)The world’s fishing is mostly carried out in the Atlantic Ocean.

(ix) Agriculture, mining, fishing, lumbering and animal husbandry are the primary economic activities found to the south of Tropic of Capricorn.

(x) Agriculture, fishing, and lumbering are the economic activities found in the islands of South East Asia.

(xi) Out of the four continents less agriculture is practiced in the continent of Australia.

(xii) Considering latitudinal extent except North Africa agricultural activities are important economic activities in latitudinal belt 8° to 50° North parallel of latitudes in the northern hemisphere and 20° to 45° latitudes in the southern hemisphere.

Climate is the most important deciding factors in the development of agriculture.
With the exception of a few areas, no country in this latitudinal belt experiences snowfall or frost. These weather phenomenon are harmful for the development of agriculture.
Rainfall in this latitudinal belt is also sufficient and fairly distributed except deserts in continents of Asia and Africa.
These are all generalised statements. However, agriculture in these latitudinal belts is affected as per the local variations in local weather conditions and physiography of the region
