(2) Why is it economic to carry out transport by waterways?

Answer :

  • By waterways, bulky materials like coal, crude oil, raw materials, metallic materials, food grains, etc. can be transported with ease.
  • Water transport carried out along ocean currents, accelerates the speed of ships and also saves fuel to a considerable extent. Therefore, it is economic to carry out transport by waterways.

(3) Why is there a difference in the climates of regions close to the oceans and regions far away from the oceans?

Answer :

  • In the regions close to the oceans, because of the heating of sea water, water vapour gets mixed in the air.
  • This water vapour holds the heat in the air and the air remains humid.
  • Humid air leads to less amount of difference in the day and night temperature [range of temperature). Therefore, regions close to the oceans have an equal climate.
  • In the regions far away from the oceans, the amount of water vapour is extremely less. As its effect, the air remains dry.
  • Dry air leads to a sharp difference in the day and night temperature (range of temperature). Therefore, regions far away from the oceans have an extreme climate. In this way, there is a difference in the climates of regions close to the oceans and regions far away from the oceans.

(4) Which continents are located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean?

Answer :

The continents of North America, South America, Asia and Australia are located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
