Question 1.
Explain how water changes into water- our and how clouds are formed from it?
Answer:

1. As the water heated up, water – vapour is formed.
2. Water – vapour mixes with the air through a process called evaporation.
3. When water vapour rises with hot air and reaches high up in the sky, it gets cooled.
4. With the cooling water vapour is transformed into tiny water droplets.
5. These droplets gather around minute dust or smoke particles in the air and gradually increase in size.
6. These small drops of water gather to form the clouds.

Question 2.
Where do evaporation and cloud formation take place on a large scale?
Answer:
The maximum evaporation and cloud formation take place on the surface of the oceans.

Question 3.
How do the clouds reach deep inland?
Answer:
Clouds rise upwards and get cooler and more droplets are formed. The droplets get together to form bigger drops. As they get heavier, it gets more and more difficult for them to remain in the air and so they begin to fall as raindrops on deep inland.

Question 4.
Where does it rain the most? Choose the correct option.
Answer:

• Sea coasts that are in the direction of the winds.
• Mountains that are in the direction of the winds.
• Lands far away from the seas.

Question 5.
Fill in the blanks choosing the correct options.
(bank, tributaries, flood – plain, river valley)
Answer:

b) Streams or rivers Joining a larger river are called the ………………. of the main river. (tributaries)
c) The entire valley of a river which is filled with water during the floods is called the …………………. of the river. (flood, plain)

Question 6.
The Godavari flows from the west to the east. Why?
Answer:

1. The entire peninsula is tilted towards east.
2. The Godavari originates in Western Ghats at Triyambakam near Nasik in Maharashtra.
3. This land also tilted towards southeast.
4. So, the river Godavari flows towards east and joins the Bay of Bengal.

Question 7.
Describe the main stages of the water cycle

Question 9.
Do the rivers in your area contain water throughout the year? Find out from your elders if they had more water in earlier times.
Answer:

Text Book Page No. 17

Question 28.
Can you explain how forests and vegetation can help in preventing floods?
Answer:
a) Vegetation cover on the land obstructs the runoff of rainwater and slows down the speed of its flow.
b) Vegetation allows the water to flow 5lowly into the river to prevent sudden flooding
c) It reduces the erosion of soil by rainwater which reduces the depth of the river.

Information Skills

(A) Read the passage and answer the following questions.
The mountain ranges like the Western Ghals in the path of rain-bearing winds and causes them to rise. Rising air cools down and water vapour condenses faster. Further, ascent leads to rainfall. This type of rainfall is common in the mountain our regions.

From May to October, cyclones form in the Bay of Bengal. These cyclones may or may not bring rain to one region. It depends upon the intensity of the cyclone in the Bay of Bengal and the direction of the cyclone after crossing the coast.

Answer:
The mountain ranges in the path of rain bearing wind cause them to rise.
(i) Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Humidity: The amount of invisible water vapours present in the atmosphere is known as humidity. When temperature and humidity are high. we feel uncomfortable. We perspire and the sweat does not evaporate quickly. We feel sticky and such weather is called sultry.

Evaporation: Change of water into vapours is known as evaporation. The process in which water vapour changes into water is called condensation. Clouds are tiny droplets of water hanging in the air above.

Reflection on contemporary issues and questioning

Question 1.
‘The agricultural prosperity of a region very much depends on the rivers and rains. How can you say?
Answer:

1. Water and rivers are essential for the agricultural progress of a region.
2. The availability of irrigation and water supply very much depends upon the rivers that flow throughout the year.
3. Rivers not only develop agriculture but also provide many other benefits like power generation, and afforestation. soil conservation, tourism, fishing etc.,

Question 2.
How are forests and vegetation helpful in preventing floods?
Answer:

1. Vegetation cover on the land obstructs the runoff of rainwater and flows down the speed of its flow.
2. This helps the rainwater to percolate into the soil.
3. Hoods are often caused by sudden increase in the value of water reaching a river.
4. If the surface of the land is covered with vegetation, the soil erosion is greatly reduced.
5. In the recent years there has been a large-scale felling of trees and hence the forest cover in the Himalayas has been reduced considerably.
6. As a result, whenever there is heavy rain, the rainwater rapidly flows down the slopes of the mountains and fills up the flood plains of the river. This result in frequent floods which cause heavy damage to life and property along the river.

Answer:

1. Government has to prepare a long-term planning in close cooperation between people and government agencies.
2. The governments have to predict considerably in advance the possibilities of natural disasters like cyclones and floods particularly regions that are most vulnerable, For this, they have to set up sell equipped meteorology bureau.
