3 marks questions
1. Write a paragraph on resource planning.
Solution:
Resource planning is a complex process, which involves:
(i) Identification and inventory of resources across the regions of the country. This involves
surveying, mapping and qualitative and quantitative estimation and measurement of the
resources.
(ii) Evolving a planning structure endowed with appropriate technology, skill and institutional
set up for implementing resource development plans.
(iii) Matching the resource development plans with overall national development plans.
2.Name the five types of land resource.
Solution:
Land resources are made up of:
1. Forests
2. Land not available for cultivation:
(a) Barren and waste land
(b) Land put to non-agricultural uses, e.g. buildings, roads, factories, etc.
3. Other uncultivated land (excluding fallow land):
(a) Permanent pastures and grazing land,
(b) Land under miscellaneous tree crops groves (not included in net sown area),
(c) Cultivable wasteland (left uncultivated for more than 5 agricultural years).
4. Fallow lands
(a) Current fallow (left without cultivation for one or less than one agricultural year),
(b) Other than current fallow- (left uncultivated for the past 1 to 5 agricultural years).
5. Net sown area-Area sown more than once in an agricultural year plus net sown area is known
as gross cropped area .
3.How can the problem of deforestation be solved?
Solution:
There are many ways to solve the problems of land degradation. 1.Afforestation and proper
management of grazing can help to some extent.
2.Planting of shelter belts of plants, control on over grazing, stabilization of sand dunes by growing
thorny bushes
3. In industrial and suburban areas, proper management of waste lands, control of mining activities,
proper discharge and disposal of industrial effluents and wastes after treatment.
4. Give a brief note on the productivity of alluvial soil.
Solution:
Alluvial soils as a whole are very fertile. Mostly these soils contain adequate proportion of
potash, phosphoric acid and lime which are ideal for the growth of sugarcane, paddy, wheat and
other cereal and pulse crops. Due to its high fertility, regions of alluvial soils are intensively
cultivated and densely populated. Soils in the drier areas are more alkaline and can be
productive after proper treatment and irrigation.
5. What is sustainable economic development?
Solution:
Sustainable economic development means development should take place without damaging the
environment development in the present, should not compromise with the needs of the future
generation.
6. What are the methods adopted to solve the problems of land degradation ?
Solution:
1. Afforestation.
2. Proper management grazing land.
3. Planting of shelter belts in desert areas.
4. Control of overgrazing.
5. Stabilization of sand dunes by growing theory bushes.
6. Proper management of waste lands.
7. Control on mining activities.
8. Proper discharge disposal of effluents waster after treatment can reduce land degradation.
7. List the resources on the basic of the status of development.
Solution:
The classification of resources on the basis of status of development is as follows:
(i) Potential Resources – Resources that are found in the region but have not been utilized. For
eg: Western part of India has enormous potential for solar and wind energy which have not been
properly utilized.
(ii) Developed Resources – Resources which are surveyed their quantity is determined for
utilization, its development depends on technology level of their feasibility.
(iii) Stock Resources – Material in the environment which has the potential to satisfy human
needs but due to lack of technology human are not able to utilize them. Eg – water is a
compound of hydrogen oxygen they are the rich source of energy but due to lack of technology,
we cannot use them.
(iv) Reserves – They are the subset of stock which can be put into use with the help of existing
technological skills but their use has to not been started.
