17) Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The rays of the sun fall directly on the Tropic of Cancer. As a result, these areas receive less heat. The areas
near the poles receive less heat as the rays of the sun are slanting. The North Pole is inclined towards the
sun and the places beyond the Arctic Circle experience continues daylight for about six months. Since a
large portion of the Northern Hemisphere is getting light from the sun, it is summer in the regions north of
the equator. The longest day and the shortest night at these places occur on 21st June. At the same time
Southern Hemisphere all these conditions are reversed. It is winter season there. The nights are longer
than the days. This position of the earth is called Summer Solstice.
17.1 Which latitude passes through India?
Ans. Tropic of Cancer
17.2 Why do the poles experience about six months day and six months night?
Ans. Ans: The poles experience about six months day and six months night because of the
tilt of the Earth on its axis. Because of this tilt, each pole is tilted towards and away
from the Sun for about six months. When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, it experiences
continuous day light for six months. It is night for the same time period at the South Pole. These
conditions are reversed when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun.

17.3 What happens during the Winter Solstice?


Ans. Tropic of Capricorn receives direct rays of the sun. Winter in Northern hemisphere. It experiences

Archaeologists have given lengthy names for the time that we are studying. They call the earliest
period the Palaeolithic. This comes from two Greek words, „palaeo‟, meaning old, and „lithos‟,
meaning stone. The name points to the importance of finds of stone tools. The Palaeolithic period
extends from 2 million years ago to about 12,000 years ago. This long stretch of time is divided
into the Lower, Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. This long span of time covers 99 per cent of
human history. The period when we find environmental changes, beginning about 12,000 years
ago till about 10,000 years ago is called the Mesolithic (middle stone). Stone tools found during
this period are generally tiny, and are called microliths. Microliths were probably stuck on to
handles of bone or wood to make tools such as saws and sickles. At the same time, older varieties
of tools continued to be in use.
