(NCERT) Antarctica is the only place in the world which is still pristine asit has never sustained a human population. Itholds in its ice-cores half-million-year-old carbon records which makes it an ideal place to study the Earth’s past, present and future. 2. Describe the impact of Antarctica on the author, ‘Ans. The expedition to Antarctica was an amazing, alluring and mind-boggling experience for the author. She was amazed to see the wide stretch of sea under the blue horizon. It was a place which has the history of mankind embedded deep into the layers of the ice. The sight of collapsing ice shields, breaking of ice- bergs and melting of ice was an eye opener. It made the author and her team aware of the dangers which the future is having in their folds. Ans, — 3. What was the Akademik Shokalskiy? Where was it heading and why? ‘Ans. Akademik Shokalskiy was a Russian Research vessel, It was heading towards the coldest, driest, windiest continent in the world, Antarctica. The people on it, were heading to be the part of ‘Students on Ice Programme’. How does the author describe the Antarctica? Antarctica is described to be a breathtaking piece of landmass covered in ice everywhere. The huge expanse of land is devoid of much human and animal life. Icebergs and avalanches are found there and the Polar animals can be seen basking in the sun. The Place has 24 hours of austral sunlight. 5. Why does Tishani Doshi call her two-week stay in Antarctica ‘a chilling prospect’? 4, Ans,EET Seat a English (Core) ~ x1 BW cs: Ans. For the author who was accustomed to live ina warm Ans, Climate change is one of the most hotly contested Ans. climate in South India, staying for 2 weeks in a place where 90% of earth's total ice volume is stored was a chilling prospect. Coldness of the region affected not her circulatory and metabolic functions but also 6 What are the indications for the future of humankind? (NCERT) Ans. Rapid human population growth and_ limited Fesources exert pressure on the earth. Burning of fossil fuels has only helped in increasing the average global temperature. Melting of ice-caps, depletion of the ozone layer and global warming are the real and immediate dangers for mankind. They will affect the lives of all the marine animals and the birds of the region. What do you lear about ‘Gondwana’ from the chapter Journey to the end of the Earth’? Ans. Gondwana was a giant southern super continent, Many subparts had joined together to form it. It existed six hundred and fifty million years ago. It centred roughly around present-day Antarctica, At that time, there were no humans. It had a warm climate which provided food and life to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Gondwana thrived for 500 million years. The landmass was forced to separate into countries when the dinosaurs were wiped out and the age of mammals set in. 8. What unique opportunities does the Antarctic environment provide to the scientists? Antarctica possesses two unique qualities, First, ithas asimple ecosystem. Second, it lacks biodiversity. Due to these two factors, Antarctica is the perfect place to study how little changes in the environment can have big consequences. 9. “Antarctica is a crucial element in this debate”, What is the debate and how is Antarctica “a crucial element” in this debate? environmental debates of our time. Antarctica is crucial element in this debate because it remaing sh and clean as it has never sustained a human population. Secondly, half-million-year-old carbon records lic trapped in its layers of ice. 10, What are Geoff Green's reasons for including high school students in the ‘Students on Ice’ expedition? What is the aim of ‘Student on Ice’ programme? Ans, ‘Students on Ice’ programme aims at taking high school students to the ends of the world. It provides them with inspiring educational opportunities. {, fosters a new understanding and respect for our planet. Geoff Green thinks that high school students are the future policy makers. Only they could help in saving this planet from ecological dangers and the effects of global warming 11, How does one lose all earthly sense of perspective and time in Antarctica? Ans. The world of Antarctica is unique. It isa place where ninety per cent of the earth's total ice volumes are stored. It is devoid of any human markers. There are no trees, no billboards and no buildings. We lose all earthly sense of perspective and time there. This visual scafe range is very vast—from the microscopic to the mighty. 12. Why is Antarctica frigid and desolate at the bottom of the world? Ans. The earth was a great landmass millions of years ago, which was not divided into continents. When it started pushing apart, various landmasses and water bodies got formed. During this process, South America drifted to join North America. It opened up the Drake Passage to give rise to a cold circumpolat current which described the region called Antarctica and pushed it to the globe and made it extremely cold and unprotected. [EEX] answer the fottowing questionsin 120-150 words: 1, What are Geoff Green's reasons for including high School students on the Ice Expedition? (NCIT) fo Antarctica makes the impact of human ies on the environment quite clear. “Students on Ice’ programme isheaded by a Canadian Geoff Green, He aims at organising this progeamme by taking high school students to the end of the world. [le thinks itis ‘most essential o provide the students with inspiring educational opportunities to know more about Antarctica. Through this, they will generate a new understanding and respect for our planet, Earlier, Geoff Green had organised a programme with celebrities and rich people which gave him back only ina limited way. Since the students are young minds and full of adventurous activities, they can learn, act and absorb much by visiting Antarctica, through their own eyes glaciers retreating and ict shelves collapsing. They can realize the future is it danger. The catastrophic effects of climatic chang? and global warming appear to be far more eh here, Antarctica provides the young students with} perfect place to study the varied changes occurtin§ in the environment. Thus the programme provides? lively study of changes and the realities going 0” i" Antaretica, 2. “Take care of small things and big things will také care of themselves’. What is the relevance of # statement in the context of Antarctica’s emvifoh ment? (nce They canseeSourney to the End of the Earth ‘Ans. Ans. 4 ‘Antarctica has a simple ecosystem and lacks a complex biodiversity. It is the best place to study how little changes in the environment can have big consequences. The author gives the example of phytoplanktons—the single-celled plants which hourish and sustain the entire Southern Ocean's food chain, The phytoplankton uses the energy to ‘absorb carbon and also synthesizes various organic compounds through photosynthesis. Scientists have forewarned that if ozone layer depletes any further, it will have a direct impact on the activities of the phytoplanktons and this will lead to a chain reaction adversely affecting the lives of marine animals and birds of the region which will further result in the disturbance of global carbon cycle. So, itis expected cof man to pay special attention to tiny forms of animal and plant life and prevent the depletion of ozone layer by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, it is evident that if we take care of small things, big things will automatically fall into place. |. Why is Antarctica a place to go to, to understand the Ans. Earth’s present, past and future? (NCERT) Antarctica is a place to go to, to understand the Earth’s present, past and future because it holds in its ice cores the answer to the earth’s rich history. Six hundred and fifty million years ago , the present day Antarctica was surrounded by a giant amalgamated Southern supercontinent called Gondwana, Thus ‘Antarctica belongs to ancient geological era when’ human beings had not yet evolved and the climate was warm in the continent and supported a huge variety of flora and fauna. Later, the dinosaurs were wiped out and mammals began to evolve. At this juncture, Gondwana got separated into countries. So to visit Antarctica is now to be a part of that history. It is to understand the significance of Cordilleran folds and pre-Cambrian granite shields; ozone and carbon; evolution and extinction. On Antarctica, a person is alarmed by the dangerous consequences of climate change and global warming. The changes taking place in Antarctica are giving warning signals about the existence of the earth in near future. Thus, ‘Antarctica is a place to go to understand the Earth's present, past and future. What is the significance of the title ‘Journey to the End of the Earth’? ‘The title ‘Journey to the End of the Earth’ has more than one meaning. It describes an educational journey to Antarctica undertaken by groups of high school students to learn more about the real impact of Global Warming and the future of the earth. 52 students went to the coldest, driest, and the windiest continent in the world called Antarctica in a Russian research vessel, the Akademik Shokalskiy, The author Ans, C155 calls it a journey to the end of the earth because it began 13.09 degrees North of the Equator in Chennai, involved crossing nine time zones, six checkpoints, three oceans and three ecospheres. She travelled over 100 hours in combination of a car, an aeroplane and a ship. The journey, being to the extreme south of the earth, is really towards the end of it. Another meaning of this title is more significant as the warnings that ‘Antarctica give are shocking and much concerning for the humanity and the millions of other species on the earth. The changes taking place in Antarctica are pointing a warning finger at the existence of the earth; the earth is journeying to its end! Describe Antarctica as a place of wonder. .. Antarctica, a vastly-stretched desert of ice, is one fof the most astonishing places on the planet. The vastness of the white landscape leaves the beholder in complete awe and amazement. This land of ice takes you for a ride throughout the history and future of not only mankind, but our whole planet. Devoid of any creation of man, and covered ince, the encounter with such a place of micro and macroscopic wonders creates a deep impact on the minds, leaving behind all day-to-day life experiences behind. And while the landmass doesn’t fail to amaze you, it, at the same time puts the effects of climate change in front of your eyes and senses, thus allowing you to reflect and introspect the criticality of the state of our planet. ;. Expeditions as Students on ice is crucial in raising awareness about the earth’s declining health. Write an article to create awareness on the topic ‘Earth and Is Collapsing Systems’. Earth and It’s Collapsing Systems —Seema Jain Since the dawn of the age of industrialisation, Mother Earth's health has been in a state of constant decline. With the increasing pollution, global warming and human greed, the condition is not getting any better any soon. With each passing day, we humans, discover new ways and technologies to improve the comfort of our lives, The systems that keep us moving have come down on their knees trying to fulfil our demands and yet, we dont stop to look. Air, water, land, peace and ‘many more parts of our environment continue to degrade everyday and we choose to sit in air- conditioned rooms rather than trying to improve the quality of environment outside. Itis time that we analyse our ways and modify them in the right direction. We must remember, we are part of the biosphere that sustains us, not the centre i. Otherwise, very soon, a time will come when ‘our own Earth will fail to accommodate any life on this planet and the reason will be us.156 EEE See oe English (Core) yy Practice Q WEST LON SHIIIIITILITIIILILUH TT HLTH GHEE EEX) answer the following questions in 40-50 words: 1.
