About Resources and Development

This quiz covers Chapter 1 of CBSE Class 10 Geography (Contemporary India II), Resources and Development.

It opens with what makes something a resource, and how resources are classified by origin (biotic and abiotic) and by exhaustibility (renewable and non-renewable).

It then covers how resources are classified by ownership (individual, community, national, and international) and by their status of development (potential, developed, stock, and reserves).

It moves on to the problems caused by over-utilisation and unequal distribution of resources, resource planning in India, and Gandhian ideas about resource conservation.

It covers land as a resource, India's relief features, and the different categories of land use recorded in India's land use records, including net sown area and gross cropped area.

It closes with the human activities that cause land degradation, such as mining, over-irrigation, and industrial effluents, and the measures used to control and conserve land.

Every question comes with a clear, simple explanation, so incorrect answers become as instructive as correct ones, whether you are revising for a school test or a board exam.
