2. Himalayan Rivers:
The Himalayan rivers are perennial as the source of their water lies in Himalayan glaciers.
The rivers make erosional features in the upper course and deposit fertile alluvium in the Northern plains. Thus, they are a major source of sustenance for agriculture.
The Himalayan rivers have long courses from their source to the sea.
Peninsular Rivers:
The peninsular rivers are seasonal and dependent upon rainfall.
The rivers have shorter and shallower courses.
The drainage basin of the rivers is smaller in size. These rivers do not create alluvium depositional features except at their mouths where they form deltas..
3. We need a standard meridian for India because of the vast longitudinal extent of the mainland. Thus, there is a time lag of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India passing through Mirzapur is taken as the Standard time for the whole country.
5. The causes for the rise of Hitler in Germany:
- Germany’s defeat in the First World War and the abdication of the emperor.

The Government has thus opened a number of night schools for the working mass. The farmers are made aware of recent developments in technology by agricultural scientists too.
