, Natural and Artificial changes!
Periodic Change & Non- Periodic
Changes
Classification of Changes:
Periodic Changes:
o The changes which repeat after a fixed period of time are known as Periodic
changes.
e.g. The change in seasons, the beating of heart etc.
Non-Periodic Changes:
o The changes which do not occur after a fixed period of time are known as
Non- Periodic
Changes.
e.g. Cyclones, Hurricanes, Earthquakes etc.
Natural Changes & Artificial
Changes
Natural Changes:
o The changes which take place naturally are known as Natural Changes.
e.g. Volcanic Explosions, Rain, Cyclones etc.
Artificial Changes:
o The changes which caused by humans are known as Artificial Changes.
e.g. Laying of roads, Cutting down of trees, Blowing up of a Balloon etc.
Note:
Non-Periodic changes occur suddenly, do not follow any particular pattern and cannot be
predicted easily.
Most of the Artificial changes are Non-Periodic.
