Here are the key differences between moist and dry deciduous forests:
- Moist deciduous forests receive higher rainfall between 100-200 cm, while dry deciduous forests receive lower rainfall between 75-100 cm.
- Moist deciduous forests are found in rainier areas like the Northeastern states, along the Himalayan foothills, Jharkhand, West Orissa, Chhattisgarh and the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats.
- Dry deciduous forests are found in less rainy parts of the peninsular plateau, plains of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and have more open stretches between trees.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

indigenous vegetation. These species are found in the North
Indian Plains and the Thar Desert.
• Owing to destruction of forests for agricultural and industrial
development, several plants are facing extinction.

in a real sense. Except some inaccessible regions like the Thar
Desert or the Himalayas, the vegetation has been destroyed
in some places or replaced or degraded by human occupancy.
14. What are biomes? What is the basis

island groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands
upper parts of Assam, Tamilnadu coast.
Trees reach great heights, up to 60 mts. Or even more.
Since the region is warm and wet throughout the year, it has
luxuriant vegetation of all kinds – trees, shrubs and creepers
giving it a multi layered structure.
Evergreen forests – as there is no definite time for trees to shed
their leaves, these forests appear green all the year round.
Commercially important trees are ebony, mahogany and
rosewood rubber & cinchona.

forests are further divided into moist and dry
deciduous forests.[Ref: Distinguish between]
– Common animals found – lion, tiger, pig, deer &
elephants
– Others – huge variety of birds, lizards, snakes &
tortoises are found.
•

33. What are endangered species?
• A large number of birds and
animals are in the danger of
getting extinct. These are called
endangered species.
34. What are migratory birds? Which
ones visit India?

another, traveling in thousands to build
nests and raise their young ones and go
back later are termed ‘migratory’ birds.
• The ones that visit India are the
Siberian Crane and the Flamingo.
38. Mention the wild life found in Ladakh.

slopes of Western Ghats. which teak, sal, peepal,neem
and other trees grow.
• Important species – Teak, • A large part of this vegetation
bamboo, sal shisham, khair, has been cleared for
kusum, arjun, mulberry cultivation and some parts are
sandalwood used for grazing.
50. What influences the kind of
vegetation found in the mountains?
• The decrease in temperature with
increasing altitude leads to the
corresponding change in natural
vegetation. There is a succession of
natural vegetation belts in the same
order as we see from the tropical to
the tundra region.
51. Discuss the steps taken to conserve
flora and fauna?
• Periodic surveys and censuses of plants and
animals are undertaken to find out the latest
status and trends in this direction.

national parks (89), have been set up.
52. What are Biosphere reserves?
Mention their three main objectives.
• Biosphere reserves are multipurpose protected areas,
where every plant and animal species will be protected in its
natural habitat. The major goal of setting up such reserves is
to preserve the genetic diversity in crucial natural
ecosystems.
• The major objectives are:
• To conserve and maintain diversity and integrity of the
natural heritage in it’s full form i.e. physical environment,
