    The document provides information about a 6th grade Indian social studies worksheet on major landforms of the Earth. The 3 learning objectives are to explain types of forces and importance of landforms, understand types of mountains and plateaus and their importance, and discuss how landforms affect human lives. It includes definitions of key terms like aggradation, degradation, glaciers, and landforms. It poses 7 questions about topics like mountain ranges, volcanic mountains, lava plateaus, types of mountains vs. plateaus, formation of plains, continental plateaus, and how landforms affect humans. It concludes with 2 higher-order thinking questions about why plains are densely populated and why life in mountain regions is difficult.

    Topic/Lesson Major Landforms of the Earth Work Sheet No. 2

    Grade 6 Subject Indian social studies

    Name Date 04/11/2022

    My Learning Objective:

    -To explain the types of forces, importance of landforms.


    -To realize the importance of mountains, types of Plateaus and its importance
    -To discuss about the landforms and how it affects the lives of people

    Keywords:
    1.Aggradations: the deposition of the eroded materials in
    the low lying areas
    2.Degradation: the slow erosion of the Earth’s surface due
    to external forces
    3.External forces: the forces acting on the Earth from its
    surface
    4.Glaciers: huge masses of snow in the mountains that
    move down a valley
    5.Internal force: the forces acting on the
    Earth from within
    6 .Landforms: the variation in elevation on the land’s
    surface

    4. Answer the following:


    Q1. What is a mountain range?
    Ans: Mountain range is a system of mountains, hills and valleys arranged in a line stretching over hundreds
    of kilometers.
    Q2. Define Volcanic mountain.
    Ans: Volcanic mountains are formed when hot magma accumulates around the vent forming
    cone-shaped mountains.
    Q3. What is Lava Plateau?
    Ans: Lava plateaus are formed by the fissures when volcanoes erupt. They cover a large area. The
    Malwa Plateau and Columbia Plateau are examples of lava plateau
    Q4. Classify mountains on the basis of origin. How are mountains different from plateaus?
    Ans: On the basis of origin, mountains are of three types
    : Fold mountains are formed due to collision between plates deep beneath the Earth's surface. Young fold
    mountains like the Himalayas, Andes and Rockies have been formed geologically recently, while old fold
    mountains are those which have been formed much earlier
    (a) Fold mountains: They are formed by a collision between plates deep beneath the Earth's surface.

    (b) Block mountains: These are formed when two tectonic plates move away from each other
    causing cracks on the surface of the Earth. When cracks occur, the strip of land or the block of land
    between them may be raised resulting in the formation of block mountains.
    (c) Volcanic mountains: These are formed due to volcanic activities during a volcanic eruption.
    Mountains: are huge masses of land rising above the surrounding area. It is conical in shape with a peak at
    the top and the base at the bottom is wide. They have steep slopes which run from the peak to the base.
    Plateaus: have a large summit area which rises above the surrounding area. It is a tableland. They may
    have one or more sides with steep slopes.
    Q5. How are plains formed?
    Ans: Plains are formed as a result of the internal and external forces of the Earth. They are formed by the
    rivers and their tributaries. The eroded material carried by the rivers gets deposited in low lying valleys in
    the form of sediments containing stones, sand and silt. It takes a long period to form plains.
    Q6. What are the continental plateaus?
    Ans: Continental plateaus extend over a large area and rise abruptly from the bordering
    lowland or the sea. The plateaus of South Africa, West Australia, and Greenland
    , Q7. How do the landforms affect the life of human beings?
    Ans: Humans live on different kinds of landforms in different ways. People living in mountain areas lead a
    hard life. In the plains, the living conditions are better. Every landscape has a different pattern of living.
    Sometimes, natural calamities like earthquakes, volcanic eruption, storms and floods cause widespread
    destruction. However, through awareness we can reduce the loss of life and property during such
    calamities.
    HOTS:

    Q1. Why are plains densely populated?


    Ans: Plains are densely populated because:
    (a) the living conditions are better than in the mountains and Plateaus.
    (b) the soil is very fertile and suitable for the cultivation of various Crops.
    (c) It is easy to construct buildings, roads, and lay railway lines in the plains.
    It is very useful area for human habitation as the climatic conditions are favorable.
    Q2 . Why is the life in mountain regions difficult?
    (d) Ans: Life in the mountain regions is difficult because of the harsh climatic conditions and limited
    availability of land for cultivation due to the steep slopes. On the steep slopes, it is difficult to
    construct buildings, roads and lay railway lines in the mountains
