NCERT CLASS-6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER-6 NOTES

  NCERT CLASS-6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER-5 [MAJOR LANDFORMS OF THE EARTH]     Landforms are a result of two processes.        = within the earth continuous movement is taking place. The 1st or the internal process leads to the super lift net and sinking of the earth’s surface at several places. A hill is a land surface that rises higher than the surrounding area.        = generally, a steep hill with an elevation of more than 600m is termed as mountain. The 2nd or the external process is the continuous wearing down and rebuilding of the land surface. The wearing away of the earth’s surface is called erosion. Different landforms depending on elevation and slope- mountains, plateaus and plains. Mountain is any natural elevation of the earth surface.        = may have a small summit and a broad base. In some mountains, there are permanently frozen rivers of ice, called glaciers. Some mountains are under sea. Mountains arra...

NCERT CLASS- 6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER-2 NOTES

NCERT CLASS 6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER- 2 [GLOBE: LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES]   Earth is slightly flattened at the north and the south poles and bulge in the middle. Globe is a true model of the earth. Earth rotates from west to east. Equator is an imaginary line that divides the earth into two equal parts The northern half of the earth is Northern Hemisphere. The southern half of the earth is Southern Hemisphere. All parallel circles from the equator up to the poles are called parallel of latitudes. Latitudes are measured  in degrees. Equator represents the zero degrees latitude. 90degree north latitude marks the North Pole and 90degree south latitude marks the South Pole. Distance from the equator to either of the poles is one-fourth of a circle round the earth, 1/4th of 360, i.e, 90degree. All parallels north of the equator are called ‘north latitudes’. All parallels south of the equator are called ‘south latitudes’. Four important parallels of latitudes-       ...

NCERT CLASS-6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER-5 NOTES

  NCERT CLASS-6 GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER-5 [MAJOR DOMAINS OF THE EARTH]      The solid portion of the earth on which we live is called the Lithosphere. The gaseous layer that surround the earth is the Atmosphere. Water covers a very big area of the Earth’s surface and this area is called the Hydrosphere. The biosphere is the narrow zone where we find land, water and air together, which contains all forms of life. Two main divisions of earth’s surface- continents and oceans basins. Level of sea water remains the same everywhere. Elevation of land is measured from the level of the sea, which is taken as zero. The highest mountain peak Mt. Everest is 8848 m above the level.  The greatest depth of 11,022 m is recorded at Mariana Trench int the Pacific Ocean. Edmund Hillary (New Zealand) and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa (India) were the 1st men to climb the Mt. Everest on 29th May 1953. Junko Tabei (Japan) was the 1st woman to reach the summit on 16th May 1975. The 1st Indian woma...
