[Act 1] Answerkey: Physical Geography

Q1: Evolution vs Glacial cycles
Which of the following phenomena might have inuenced the evolution of organisms?
1. Continental drift
2. Glacial cycles
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
A. 1 only
B. 2 only
C. Both 1 and 2
D. Neither 1 nor 2.
Continental drift: 200 million years ago, that large continent Pangaea starts breaking up. Last
Glacial cycle ended 15000 years ago. And as per the Geological timeline-table given in TMH,
page 50-51, there were signs of evolution at both stages. Therefore, both events might have
inuenced the evolution. Anyways, for solid reference:
Continental
One of the most prominent example of the eect of continental drift on

evolution of organisms, is the unique primates found in Australia and South
drift
Glacial
cycle
America. Ref.Google book#1 (http://books.google.co.in/books?

id=feMItLo5gwgC&pg=PA102)
The nal stages of evolution of Genus Homo occurs in the last 3 glacial cycles.
Ref google book#2 (http://books.google.co.in/books?
id=VnTLJ7mfDvYC&pg=RA1-PA308)
Therefore, answer C Both 1 and 2 correct.
Q2: Seasonal wind reversal

The seasonal reversal of winds is the typical characteristic of
A. Equatorial climate
B. Mediterranean climate
C. Monsoon climate
D. All of the above climates
Answer C because
Class11 India Physical, Chapter 4 page 33: Monsoon connotes the climate associated with
seasonal reversal in the direction of winds.=> Either C or D
I couldnot nd a source that says Equatorial climate involves Seasonal reversal of Wind=>
D is eliminated, and we are left with C.
[Act 2] India Eco/Human Geography

Q1: Changpa people
With reference to Changpa community of India, consider the following statement:
1. They live mainly in the State of Uttarakhand.
2. They rear the Pashmina goatsthat yield a ne wool.
3. They are kept in the category of Scheduled Tribes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A. 1 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Tribal Ministry website:
(http://tribal.nic.in/Content/list%20of%20Scheduled%20Tribes%20in%20India.aspx)
Lists Changpa under ST category from Jammu Kashmir.
This means #1 is wrong and #3 is right. This eliminates A and D.
Now everything depends on whether #2 is right or wrong.
2009, TheHindu article (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tpmetroplus/passion-for-pashmina/article644112.ece)
Pashmina: The Kashmir Shawl and Beyond follows the origin of the bre right to the
Changra goats, which are specially reared by the nomadic Changpa tribes of Ladakh, and
then its renement at the hands of the Kashmiri artisans and subsequent export and
consumption by the rest of the world.
Changpa tribes present population is less than 9,000, and the adverse climatic conditions
which force them to keep moving 10 to 12 times a year.
In Ladakh, merchants pay Rs.1,200 to 1,500 for a kilogram of raw Pashmina
Therefore, #2 is right hence answer B: 2 and 3 correct.
Counterview:
Question says Pashmina goats, but Hindu says Changra goats. And goats dont give
wool. Ans. Well, Tehlaka.com (http://www.tehelka.com/27000-dead-goats-is-it-pashminas-turnnext/) connects the dots:
This area is also known as Rupsho Valley where the main occupation of the nomads is
rearing yaks and Changra goats.
The unforgiving winter makes the goats grow extremely warm and soft veneer, which is six
times ner than human hair and is used to make Pashmina wool.
Therefore Changra goats = Pashmina wool. Answer B: 2 and 3 only.
Q2: Saree Towns

Consider the following towns of India:
1. Bhadrachalam
2. Chanderi
3. Kancheepuram
4. Karnal
Which of the above are famous for the production of traditional sarees / fabric?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1, 3 and 4
#2 is right because ocial Madhya Pradesh Ashoknagar district website
(http://ashoknagar.nic.in/tourism.htm)
Chanderi is a tehsil of Ashoknagar district ..main occupation of the people of Chanderi is
handicraft. Chanderi sarees are famous all over the world
This fact is frequently asked in MP PCS exams, and eliminates Option D
#3 Kancheepuram is right by common knowledge, but for the sake of reference- Silk
board of India (http://www.csb.gov.in/silk-sericulture/silks-of-india/)
temple towns like Kancheepuram are renowned for their magnicent heavy silk sarees of
bright colours with silver or gold zari works
This eliminates Option A.
Bhadrachalam
Disputed village during separation of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. I did

not nd any source that say its famous for saree.
Was in news because some of its villages will be included in NCR (National
Karnal
capital region). While its infamous for low sex ratio and female infanticide, I
did not nd any source that says its famous for saree.
Therefore, Answer B: 2 and 3 only.
[Act 2] India Map/location

Side note: Ive counted wildlife sanctuary location questions under environment.
Q1: Rivers of Arunanchal Pradesh

1. Consider the following rivers:
1. Barak
2. Lohit
3. Subansiri
Which of the above ows / ow through Arunachal Pradesh?
A. 1 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
Barak: Arunanchal Pradesh is wrong because
Class11 India Physical, Chapter 2 page 15

NCERT
The Barak is an important river in Manipur and Mizoram

Common sense suggest that it cannot ow up in the map, to pass
through Arunanchal Pradesh.
INDIA YEAR
BOOK 2014
Page 3 of in third para-The barak river , the head stream of Meghna

rises in the hills in Manipur
Therefore, statement #1 is wrong, this automatically eliminates A, C and D. We are left with
answer (B) 2 and 3 only.
Q2: Hills and Coasts

Consider these pairs
1. Cardamom Hills
Coromandel Coast
2. Kaimur Hills
Konkan Coast
3. Mahadeo Hills
Central India
4. Mikir Hills
North-East India
Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?

A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 3
C. 3 and 4
D. 2 and 4
NCERT Class11 India Physical:
Refer to gure 2.2 on page10 of the same book. You can see Kaimur hills is in central
highlands, far away from Konkan Coast.
Therefore, pair #2 is wrong, this eliminates option A, B and D. Thus we are left with answer
C.

Q3: Highways
Consider the following pairs :
National Highway
Cities connected

NH6:

Hi Mrunal,
Regarding seasonal wind reversal question one need to visit go cheng
long. Both Mediterranean & equator faces shift of pressure belt & this
causes former coming under inuence of dierent planatory winds(trade
to westerly) & thus this is not associated with reversal of wind.
arpita
All three Climates experience reversal of wind doesnt matter they
are caused by shift in pressure belt or any other reason.. u
standing in these climates will feel wind blowing from opposite
directions precisely for considerable duration in the year and not
like land and Sea breeze which are local winds changing on daily
basis..

Guys I need your help. I am from Uttarakhand and recently the UK-PSC
notication is released, the exam is on Nov30. I was preparing for UPSC
2015 and started with mains topics, but now I am in dilemma should I
rst prepare for UL-PSC pre examination or should I carry forward my
present strategy to focus on 2015.
loose paya
You should decide your life decisions buddy
arpita
Goh Chang Leong CH 15 page 116 very rst paragraph says away from
equator the equatorial climate is modied with monsoonal inuence.. it
means equatorial climate itself contain monsoonal inuence (reversal of
winds) while Mediterranean and monsoon climate already experience
reversal of winds.. all three is the correct option..
pratik
Its monsoon rst refer the basic ncert and then go for other
books.. only monsoon has seasonal reversal of winds every wind
undergoes reversal sometime or the other doesnt mean all are
correct else mistral,simoom,sirroco all can be in thst group..
sorry if yu marked all three but its wrong..deal with it and prepare
forcmains and stay positive its more than 10 days now..dont get
stuck in that question paper for life..
REPLY (HTTP://MRUNAL.ORG/2014/09/ANSWERKEY-CSAT-2014GEOGRAPHY.HTML?REPLYTOCOM=246230#RESPOND)
arpita
The question was about climate not wind system.. a climatic
zone experience wind reversal not about the wind system get
reversed.. there is dierence.. only monsoon winds get
reversed but all there climates feel wind reversal.. and

example cited by u are local wind over some specic area not
over climatic zone..
Also me getting 200 marks gen category no hope for mains..
not able to concentrate mains before result out..

Yes it is clearly mentioned. I saw. You really did a good job.
But why in your previous comment you wrote that question is
asking about reversal of winds and not climate ? And now you
are saying away from equator, equatorial climate is modied with
monsoonal inuences so it experience reversal of winds. Why
are you now talking about climate and its modication and
concluding reversal of wind out of thin air?
According to oxford dictionary word seasonal means Relating to
or characteristic of a particular season of the year. Question also
asks this seasonal reversal of winds is typical characteristic of?
Now how come Medit. and Equa. climate have typical
characteristic of seasonal reversal of winds ?? They have other
typical characteristics.
There is a word Monsoon zone. This means as per as NGC edu
web a belt of air currents that circle the earth at equator and thus
it has monsoonal inuences which you are talking about. It is not
typically characterized by seasonal reversal. At equator monsoonal
pattern occurs as given in same book, same chapter. Are you going
to say this word also mean reversal of winds?
UPSC nally will decide. Leave ans to it.

Dear mrunal,
My query is about The seasonal reversal of winds is the typical
characteristic of
1. Monsoon is right no doubt abt it.
But
2. Mediterranean climate is characterised by Winter Rain(if i m not
wrong), so if there is no seasonal reversal of wind then there should be
rain whole time. Also because of there are disturbances at the time of
winter indirectly caused by jet stream,which change the wind pattern in
Mediterranean region.
3. For equator, As we seen in the pattern of monsoon in which because
of shifting of ITCZ northward in summer, wind cross equator and change
direction(bcome south-westerly) in indian ocean. At the same time, same
pattern is observed in Africa and Atlantic ocean and also over midle and
north west america(Where we observe monsoon climate). Also this
reverses in Winter when ITCZ shifts southwards.
So in practice in all above climatic region there is change in wind pattern.
My belief is this- If there is continues rain n only seasonal rain then
there is reversal of wind pattern(except because of cyclones)
Please tell me if my assumptions are right or if they are not please clarify
my basic understanding of topic.
thank u

for question on -seasonal reversal of winds is the typical characteristic
Please refer physical geography by savindra singh-page no 461, Topic
35.8 Seasonal Shifting of Wind belts and their Climatic signicance.
In that its mentioned that wind shift for Mediterranean (sub point i) and
monsoon (subpoint iii)shifts seasonally.
