👁 9 viewsUsar soils are saline in character because of high salt content and poor drainage in semi-arid climates where evaporation concentrates salts. These soils often have a whitish or grayish surface and a salty or alkaline subsoil layer, reducing crop suitability without reclamation. Regur is black cotton soil rich in clays and moisture-retention but not inherently saline. Khadar refers to new Alluvial soils, usually fertile and not saline. Kari soils are shallow and may be stony or sandy, but salinity is not their defining feature. Thus, among the options, Usar is the one with pronounced salinity.
Usar soils are commonly found in semiarid regions where evaporation exceeds precipitation, leading to salt accumulation near the surface.
Usar soils are saline-alkaline soils formed under arid/semi-arid conditions with high evaporation.
Q37. Which forests do grow along sea coasts ?
👁 14 viewsQ38. Which of the following factors does not affect the distribution and density of population ?
👁 6 viewsAge-sex composition affects the growth and structure of a population rather than how it is spread over an area. Transport systems, climate, and soil influence where people can live and how densely areas are populated (access, habitability, resources). Age-sex determines birth rates and dependency ratios, which shape population size over time but not the immediate spatial distribution or density of people in a place.
Did you know: Population density is usually expressed as the number of people per square kilometer (or mile) of land area.
Age-sex composition affects growth, not the immediate distribution/density of population.
Q39. Which of the following state of India has no schedule caste (SC) population ?
👁 3 viewsScheduled Castes are communities given recognition in the Constitution and eligible for affirmative action. In Nagaland, the state has no population classified as Scheduled Castes according to official census records, so there are no SC communities listed within the state. This contrasts with other states where SC populations are present and eligible for related schemes. The correct option is C, Nagaland.
Article 341 of the Indian Constitution defines the Scheduled Castes and empowers the President to specify the list for each state.
Nagaland has no Scheduled Caste population; SC lists are applicable to other states.
