Q. 4. (B)
(1) The given map indicates Brazil standard time.
(2) Four time zones are shown in the map.
(3) Eastern part of Brazil is ahead of others.
(4) The dark line in the map shows Brazil time zone.
(5) Ponto De Seixas lies to the easternmost direction.
Q. 5.
(1) (1) In the northern coastal region near equator, the differences in the temperatures
are negligible.
(2) In this region, the winds move vertically.
(3) The convergence zone of the trade winds is also found to be weak in this region.
Therefore, tropical cyclones occur rarely in Brazil.
(2) (1) At places, spurs taking off from the Western Ghats have extended right up to the
western coast. As its effect, the western coast is rocky in nature.
(2) The width of the western coast is comparatively less. Westward flowing rivers
meeting the Arabian Sea form estuaries and not deltas on the western coast.
(3) On the other hand, the eastern coast of India is formed due to the depositional
work of rivers. The width of the eastern coast is comparatively more. Most of the
eastward flowing rivers meeting the Bay of Bengal form deltas on the eastern
coast. Thus, there are dissimilarities between the eastern coast and the western
coast of India.
(3) (1) Human beings require water to satisfy their various daily needs. Water is required
for agriculture as well as industries.
(2) Due to unavailability of water, the agriculture and industries do not flourish. As
its effect, human settlements do not grow in such areas.
(3) Due to availability of water, the agriculture and industries gets developed. Many
employment opportunities are generated. As its effect, human settlements gets
developed in such areas. In this way, availability of water is a major factor
affecting settlements.
(4) (1) Rainforests are seen in the northern regions near the equator in Brazil.
(2) The trees in rainforests draw in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
(3) Thus rainforests helps in providing us with most of our required oxygen and
absorbing the carbon dioxide. Therefore, rainforests in Brazil are called the
‘lungs of the world’.
