NTA UGC NET/JRF Exam (Cancel), June, 2024 Geography

Social Geography is always committed to integrating the "social aspect" with the "spatial aspect." Social Geography is a branch of human geography that focuses on the interactions of everyday life and social groups, with each other, and with the places they inhabit. The Cultural aspect is related to Cultural Geography, which is a major branch of human geography.
Cultural Geography centers its study on human culture. The Economic aspect is a branch of economic geography that focuses on human economic activities such as agriculture, industry, tourism, and services. The study of Demographics is conducted in Population Geography, a sub-branch of human geography. It studies human population itself, population distribution, age structure, density, growth, sex ratio, migration, etc.

The following mass wasting processes are arranged on the basis of slow to fast movement: Soil Creep → Solifluction → Earthflow → Mudflow. When the upper layer of soil is transferred from one place to another by water or wind, it is called Soil Creeр or soil erosion. Solifluction mostly occurs in the periglacial region. When soil erosion occurs due to wind or water, it is called Earthflow. It is also known by other names such as sheet flow, sheet wash, mudflow, and debris flow. Mudflow is a mass of fine soil particles mixed with water and flowing. Mass Wasting (mass movement) is classified in terms of movement as follows:
1. Very Fast Movement (No water required)
•Landslide
•Fall (Slump)
•Debris Slide
•Debris Fall
•Rock Fall
•Rock Slide
2. Slow Movement (Small amount of water required)
•Rock Creeр
•Soil Creep
•Solifluction (in periglacial areas)
3. Rapid Movement (Sufficient water required)
•Earthflow
•Mudflow
•Sheet Wash
Thus, option (e) is correct.

The correctly matched pairs are as follows:

The United States University was not among the selected centers around the 1950s that emphasized the well-defined theoretical aspects of geography as a science of spatial analysis, whereas the University of Iowa, University of Wisconsin, and the University of Washington were included.
The Quantitative Revolution in geography in America began in the mid-1950s under the leadership of Harold McCarty, Brian Berry, and Garrison. At the University of Iowa, McCarty attempted to establish the laws of organization among geographic patterns. Professor Robbins at the University of Wisconsin attempted to develop statistical methods for comparing maps, and Garrison at the University of Washington in Seattle made significant progress in developing theoretical geography based on the objective scientific study method in the field of economic and urban geography.
Edward Ullman, a professor at the same university, worked to present geography as a science focused on the study of active inter-spatial relations and made a significant contribution to the success of the quantitative revolution.

The Rank-Size Rule in India appears to apply to the state of Rajasthan. In the context of the Rank-Size Rule, F. Auerbach first presented his ideas in 1913. Subsequently, H.R. Simon, G.K. Zipf, C.T. Stewart, and Berry & Garrison presented their respective views on the matter. Mr. Zipf formulated the Rank-Size Rule in 1949 to show the mutual relationship between the population size and population rank of cities.
According to this rule, there is a fixed ratio between the rank (R) and the population size (Population Size) of a city in a region or country. According to Zipf, when the populations of the cities of a region are arranged in descending order, the population of the nth city (n = rank) will be 1/n of the population of the largest city (first rank). The probable or expected population of the cities of other ranks can be calculated by the following formula if the population of the first-rank city is known:

According to Strahler's method, the drainage order of the above-cited stream is marked as Third Order. Strahler (1964 AD) divided a stream into several segments, where all streams without tributaries are firstorder stream segments.
All of them are assigned the number 1. When two first-order stream segments meet, a second-order stream appears below the confluence. It is assigned the number 2. However, where two secondorder stream segments meet, a third-order stream is formed. Thus, in the Strahler method, an attempt is not made to record the actual length and origin of the stream of every order (except the first order).

The correctly matched pairs are as follows:
