The products of these industries feed other industries. Iron made from iron ore is the product of mineral based industry. This is used as raw material for the manufacture of a number of other products, such as heavy machinery, building materials and railway coaches.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2<br \/>\nWhat are marine based industries ?<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nMarine based industries use products from the sea and oceans as raw materials. Examples of Marine based industries are processing sea food or manufacturing fish oil.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3<br \/>\nIndustries can be classified on the bases of ownership, explain.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nIndustries can be classified into 4 sectors in relationship to the ownership of the concerned industry.<br \/>\nPrivate sector: Private sector industries are owned and operated by individuals or a group of individuals.<br \/>\nState owned or public sector: The public sector industries are owned and operated by the government.<br \/>\nJoint sector: Joint sector industries are owned and operated by the state and individuals or a group of individuals.<br \/>\nCooperative sector: Co-operative sector industries are owned and operated by the producers or suppliers of raw materials, workers or both.<\/p>\n<p>Question 4<br \/>\nWhat are the inputs, process and output of a textile industry?<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nThe inputs, process and output of a textile industry are\u2026\u2026<br \/>\nInput<br \/>\nCotton is the main raw material that is used in this industry.<br \/>\nOther inputs needed are human labour, machinery, infrastructural facilities etc.<br \/>\nProcess<br \/>\nProcess includes ginning or separating cotton from the seed, spinning, weaving, dyeing and printing.<br \/>\nOut put<br \/>\nThe fabric that is manufactured by the factory is the out put.<\/p>\n<p>Question 5<br \/>\nMention the major industrial regions of the world.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nMajor industrial regions of the world are \u2026..<br \/>\nEastern North America<br \/>\nWestern and central Europe<br \/>\nEastern Europe<br \/>\nEastern Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Question 6<br \/>\nMention the industrial regions of India.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nIndustrial Regions of India<br \/>\nMumbai \u2013 Pune Industrial Region,<br \/>\nBangalore \u2013 Tamil Nadu region,<br \/>\nHugli region,<br \/>\nAhmedabad \u2013 Baroda region<br \/>\nChottanagpur Industrial region,<br \/>\nVishakhapatnam \u2013 Gunter region,<br \/>\nGurgaon \u2013 Delhi \u2013 Meerut region<br \/>\nKollam \u2013 Thiruvanathapuram Industrial region.<\/p>\n<p>Question 7<br \/>\nWrite a note on the Chernobyl disaster.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nThe Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear reactor accident in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union. It was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.<br \/>\nOn 26th April 1986 a nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl plant exploded. Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area. Nearly thirty to forty times more fallout was released than had been by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki<br \/>\nLarge areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people.<br \/>\nThe accident raised concerns about the safety of the nuclear power industry.<\/p>\n<p>Question 8<br \/>\nMention some of the risk reducing measures that have to be adopted by nuclear power industries.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nRisk Reduction Measures that have to be adopted by industries are\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<br \/>\nDensely populated residential areas should be separated far away from the industrial areas.<br \/>\nPeople staying in the vicinity of industries should be aware of the storage of toxins or hazardous substances and their possible effect in case if an accident occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Fire warning and fighting system should be improved.<br \/>\nStorage capacity of toxic substances should be limited.<br \/>\nPollution dispersion qualities in the industries should be improved.<\/p>\n<p>Question 9<br \/>\nWhat are the stages involved in converting iron ore into steel?<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nThere are 3 stages in converting iron ore into steel.<br \/>\nStage I<br \/>\nIron Ore, coal and lime stone are put in a blast furnace and melted to extract the metal. This process is called smelting.<br \/>\nStage II<br \/>\nThe iron that is extracted from the furnace is refined. This extract is called steel.<br \/>\nStage III<br \/>\nThe steel is then cast as billets or slabs. These billets and slabs are used by other Industries as raw material.<\/p>\n<p>Question 10<br \/>\nWhat are the factors that helped Ahmedabad become a textile centre.<br \/>\nSolution:<br \/>\nFactors that helped the city become a textile centre<br \/>\nAhmedabad is situated in the heart of a cotton growing area; hence the major raw material is easily available.<br \/>\nThe humid climate is ideal for spinning and weaving.<br \/>\nThe flat terrain and easy availability of land is suitable for the establishment of the mills.<br \/>\nThe densely populated states of Gujarat and Maharashtra provide both skilled and semi-skilled labour.<br \/>\nWell developed road and railway network permits easy transportation of textiles to different parts of the country, thus providing easy access to the market.<br \/>\nThe Mumbai port which is situated nearby facilitates import of machinery and export of cotton textiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industries Geography SST NCERT Class 8 Extra Questions Industries Geography SST NCERT Class 8 Extra Questions Question 1 Write a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Get Industries Geography SST NCERT Class 8 Extra Questions at Infinity Learn","custom_permalink":"cbse\/ncert\/study-materials\/industries-geography-sst-ncert-class-8-extra-questions\/"},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
