h
Forests are a natural home for many wild animals, including birds and insects. Forests provide food

and shelter to them. In nature, every animal depends on other life forms for survival. The diversity of
life forms ensures food for every living being. However, over the years, the forest cover has been
decreasing, mainly due to human activities like large scale cutting of trees. It takes many years to

grow a new forest or restore lost forests. Therefore, we must preserve and use forests responsibly so
that they get enough time to regenerate.

Several systems of units evolved with time in different parts of the world. However, when people
started travelling from one place to another, it created a lot of confusion. This led to the different

ep

countries coming together and adopting a set of standard units of measurement. The system of units
now used is known as the ‘International System of Units’ or SI units. The SI unit of length is metre.
Pr

Its symbol is m. One metre (m) is divided into 100 equal divisions. Each division is called a
centimetre (cm). The length of one of these smaller parts is called a millimetre (mm). 1 mm is the
smallest value of length that you can measure using this scale. 1 mm is equal to one-tenth of a
centimeter (1 mm = 0.1 cm). For measuring larger lengths, we use a larger unit called a kilometre
(km) which is equal to 1000 metres. And for measuring smaller lengths, we use units such as
centimetre or millimetre.

a. What is the SI unit of length? (1)

b. How many millimetres are there in 1 centimetre? (1)
c. Why was the International System of Units (SI) developed? (2)
OR
Why was there a need to adopt a standard system of units like the SI system? (2)
