SOCIAL SCIENCE (Revised) Part-I Government of Karnataka SOCIAL SCIENCE (Revised) Part-I 10 TENTH STANDARD (ENGLISH MEDIUM) Karnataka Textbook Society (R.) 100 Feet Ring Road, Banashankari 3rd Stage, Bengaluru - 85 I PREFACE The Textbook Society, Karnataka has been engaged in producing new textbooks according to the new syllabi which in turn are designed on NCF – 2005 since June 2010. Textbooks are prepared in 12 languages; seven of them serve as the media of instruction. From standard 1 to 4 there is the EVS, mathematics and 5th to 10th there are three core subjects namely mathematics, science and social science. NCF – 2005 has a number of special features and they are: • connecting knowledge to life activities • learning to shift from rote methods • enriching the curriculum beyond textbooks • learning experiences for the construction of knowledge • making examinations flexible and integrating them with classroom experiences • caring concerns within the democratic policy of the country • making education relevant to the present and future needs. • softening the subject boundaries- integrated knowledge and the joy of learning. • the child is the constructor of knowledge The new books are produced based on three fundamental approaches namely. Constructive approach, Spiral Approach and Integrated approach The learner is encouraged to think, engage in activities, master skills and competencies. The materials presented in these books are integrated with values. The new books are not examination oriented in their nature. On the other hand they help the learner in the all round development of his/her personality, thus help him/her become a healthy member of a healthy society and a productive citizen of this great country, India. In Social science especially in standard 5 the first chapter deals with the historical, geographical, cultural and local study of the division in which learners live. Chapters on sociology, business studies and commerce are introduced in standard VIII as per the guidelines of NCF-2005. A lot of additional information is given through box items. Learners are encouraged to work towards construction of knowledge through assignments and projects. Learning load of memorizing dates has been reduced to the minimum. Life values have been integrated with content of each chapter. The Textbook Society expresses grateful thanks to the chairpersons, writers, scrutinisers, artists, staff of DIETs and CTEs and the members of the Editorial Board and printers in helping the Text Book Society in producing these textbooks. Prof. G. S. Mudambadithaya Nagendra Kumar Coordinator, Curriculum Revision Managing Director and Textbook Preparation Karnataka Textbook SocietyÀ Karnataka Textbook Society Bengaluru, Karnataka Bengaluru, Karnataka II Chairpersons’ Note A demand for the change of curriculum, syllabi and textbooks has been heard from parents at every internal of five years. The Government of Karnataka has accepted the demand favourably and revised its Curriculum (KCF 2007) and syllabi in all subjects. As a result of it textbooks are being prepared in various subjects and the result is this Social Science book for standard X. It has been designed and prepared according to the changed situations in various curricular areas to enable the students to construct knowledge through activities. There are six subject areas namely, History, Political Science, Geography, Economics, Sociology and Business Studies. The textbook has been prepared keeping in mind the changing situations in rural and urban scenario and at the same time providing opportunities for creativity among learners. A large number of activities and project works have been designed for the purpose. These are designed based on the fact that we live in a world of competition where acquiring knowledge has become the need of the day. The matter has been presented in a simple style and technical words have been glossed. That does not mean that are have succeeded fully in our endeavour though we have followed the basic principles enunciated in NCF 2005. We express our grateful thanks to all those who gave us concrete suggestions at every stage of preparation of the book. We are grateful to the writers, the scrutiny committee members and translators. We are especially grateful to the chief coordinator Prof. G S Mudambadithaya who has been striving hard in planning and bringing out textbooks of very high standard in all subjects. We express our sincere thanks to the Managing Director, Deputy Director and the coordinator of Social Science book. I also place on record my indebtedness to the Vice Chancellor, Registrar and other colleagues of the University of Tumakuru for their encouragement and guidance. Dr. M. Shashidhar Dr. P.

IV About the Revision of Textbooks Honourable Chief Minister Sri Siddaramaiah who is also the Finance Minister of Karnataka, in his response to the public opinion about the new textbooks from standard I to X, announced, in his 2014-15 budget speech of constituting an expert-committee, to look into the matter. He also spoke of the basic expectations there in, which the textbook experts should follow: “ The textbooks should aim at inculcating social equality, moral values, development of personality, scientific temper, critical acumen, secularism and the sense of national commitment”, he said. Later, for the revision of the textbooks from class I to X, the Department of Education constituted twenty seven committees and passed an order on 24-11-2014. The committees so constituted were subject and class-wise and were in accordance with the standards prescribed. Teachers who are experts in matters of subjects and syllabi were in the committees. There were already many complaints, and analysis about the textbooks. So, a freehand was given in the order dated 24-11-2014 to the responsible committees to examine and review text and even to prepare new text and revise if necessary. Eventually, a new order was passed on 19-9-2015 which also gave freedom even to re-write the textbooks if necessary. In the same order, it was said that the completely revised textbooks could be put to force from 2017-18 instead of 2016-17. Many self inspired individuals and institutions, listing out the wrong information and mistakes there in the text, had sent them to the Education Minister and to the Textbook Society. They were rectified. Before rectification we had exchanged ideas by arranging debates. Discussions had taken place with Primary and Secondary Education Teachers’ Associations. Questionnaires were administered among teachers to pool up opinions. Separate meeting were held with teachers, subject inspectors and DIET Principals. Analytical opinions had been collected. To the subject experts of science, social science, mathematics and languages, textbooks were sent in advance and later meeting were held for discussions. Women associations and science related organistation were also invited for discussions. Thus, on the basis of all inputs received from various sources, the textbooks have been revised where ever necessary.

    UNIT – I PHYSIOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS OF INDIA Geological Structure 1. THE ARCHAEAN FORMATIONS (PRE-CAMBRIAN) The Archaean Era is also known as the Precambrian Period. The division of geologic time scale from the formation of the Earth (about 4.6 billion years ago) to the beginning of the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era (about 570 million years ago}. The Precambrian time constitutes about 86.7% of the Earth's history. The term 'Archaean', introduced by J.D. Dana in 1782, refers to the oldest rocks of the Earth's crust. The oldest known rocks of the Earth, the evolutionary atmosphere, the first chemosynthesis, the first photosynthesis, the life-supporting atmosphere and the Earth's modem atmosphere, were developed during the Precambrian Era (Archaean and Protozoic). Rocks of the Archaean System are devoid of any form of life. The Archaean rocks are all azoic or non fossiliferous. They are thoroughly crystalline, extremely contorted and faulted, and practically devoid of any sediment. They are largely intruded by plutonic intrusions and generally have a well-defined foliated structure. These rocks are known as the basement complex or fundamental gneisses. Cover two-thirds of Peninsular India. In the Peninsular region, the Archaean rocks are known to be of three well-defined types: a) The Bengal Gneiss occurs in the Eastern Ghats, Orissa (known as Khodoliles after Khond tribes in Koraput and Bolangir districts), stretching over Manbhum and Hazaribagh districts of Jharkhand, Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh and Salem district of Tamil Nadu. Occur in the Son Valley, Meghalaya Plateau and Mikir HiUs. Thinly foliated.

  • The Rivers of Indian Peninsula: Their Salient Geomorphic Characteristics and Ancestry
    Journal of Indian Geomorphology Volume 8, 2020 l ISSN 2320-0731 Indian Institute of Geomorphologists (IGI) The Rivers of Indian Peninsula: Their Salient Geomorphic Characteristics and Ancestry Vishwas S. Kale Formerly at Department of Geography, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune 411007 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The Indian Peninsula dominantly displays an erosional landscape. Bedrock landforms and bedrock rivers are more common. The diversity in topography, drainage and landforms visible today has developed during the nearly 9000 km long northward journey of the Indian Plate since the breakup of the Gondwanaland. Some of the distinctive topographic and drainage network characteristics of this ancient landmass are described in this paper. An attempt has also been made to tentatively reconstruct the ancestry of the main-stem rivers on the basis of available geological and geomorphic data.Multiple lines of evidence suggest that many of the river systems of the Peninsula consist of segments of different ages, and the complete integration of the older and younger drainage has taken place during the Cenozoic. Recently acquired geochronological data strongly suggest that climate rather than tectonics is primarily responsible for the modern-day relief of this ancient landmass. Introduction With an area of about 2.1 M km2, the from the Gondwanaland and onset of the Indian Peninsula is the largest and the oldest northward drift, the Indian landmass has been geomorphic province and morpho-tectonic chiefly fashioned by fluvial

Such parameters serve as boundary conditions within which the present day landscape-forming processes operate (Brierley and This study provides a geological and geomorphic history Fryirs, 2005).

The coupled effect of climate and tectonics The river basins in India are divided into six different is crucial for the long-term sustenance of river basins. While uplift groups on the basis of different tectono-climatic settings creates relief, runoff and discharge facilitate erosion for the maintenance of hill and channel slope (for water and sediment and geomorphic characteristics.

Lithology and inherent structural discontinuities dictate the trajectories in the past strongly govern the modern day sediment availability, and the prevailing climatic conditions determine geomorphic characteristics and processes in a river the sediment transport and redistribution rates.
