Practise 6 short and long answer questions on Oceans and Continents from Oceans and Continents. Try writing your own answer first, then tap the question to compare it with the model answer and read the explanation behind it.
The chapter states that oceans cover about seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
This figure is stated in the chapter’s opening quotation.
Continents are the major landmasses of the Earth. The chapter studies their locations in relation to the oceans and to one another.
The lesson focuses on identifying oceans and continents.
Oceans cover most of the Earth’s surface, while continents are its large landmasses. Studying them together helps us understand the broad arrangement of land and water and locate regions in relation to each other.
The response reflects the chapter’s focus on the world’s land and water.
Knowing their locations gives a basic picture of the Earth’s surface. It helps a learner describe where a place lies, compare regions and understand how landmasses are separated or bordered by bodies of water.
The answer explains the practical value of locating the features studied.
A world map shows the major landmasses and the oceans surrounding or separating them in one view. The student can compare their relative positions and see that water occupies a large share of the surface. The map therefore provides a spatial overview that a list of names alone cannot provide.
The answer is based on the chapter’s emphasis on maps and global distribution.
The chapter’s opening description presents the ocean as a vast reservoir of nature and a place where life is active. Oceans are a major part of the Earth, covering about seven-tenths of its surface. They are therefore important geographical features in their own right, not merely gaps between landmasses.
The answer uses the chapter’s description of oceans and the stated surface proportion.
