The separation of the State and religion in democratic societies is important because of the following reasons:
- It helps a country to function democratically.
- The tyranny of the majority and the violation of Fundamental Rights can be very harmful to the people belonging to the minority. So, it protects people from any type of religious violence.
- It protects the freedom of individuals to exit from their religion, embrace another religion. It gave people the freedom to interpret religious teachings differently.

Classification of natural resources on the basis of development and use:
- Actual Resource: Resources whose quantity is known and which are being used at present are called actual resources, e.g. coal and petroleum.
- Potential Resource: Resources whose entire quantity may not be known and which are not being used at present are called potential resources. Potential resources can be used in future once technology for that is properly developed. For example; uranium reserves in Ladakh.

Causes of soil erosion:
Due to human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, construction and mining, etc.
Natural forces like wind, glacier and water leads to soil erosion.
The running water cuts through clayey soils and makes deep channels as ‘gullies’. The land becomes unfit for cultivation, this process is called gully erosion and the land is called bad land or ravines in the Chambal basin.
Sometimes, water flows as a sheet over large areas down a slope. It leads to the washing away of the top soil. This process is called sheet erosion.
Wind blows loose soil off flat or sloping land, and is called wind erosion.
Soil erosion is also caused due to defective methods of farming.

Soil is the thin layer of material covering the earth's surface and is formed from the weathering of rocks. Weathering is a process of physical breakdown and chemical decomposition of rocks and minerals near or at the surface of the earth. This physical and chemical decomposition is primarily done by wind, water, and climate. As a result of these processes, large rock pieces are converted into smaller particles .these small particles mix with humus (organic matter) and form soil.
The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water, and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air.

A soil profile is a vertical section through different layers of soil. Each layer has different texture, colour and chemical composition. These layers are termed horizons. The soil consists of three horizons: Horizon
A, Horizon B and Horizon C. The uppermost horizon (also known as topsoil) or A horizon is dark in colour because it is rich in humus and minerals. Humus makes the soil fertile. The next layer is B-horizon that has lesser amount of humus but more minerals. The third layer is C-horizon made of small lumps of rocks with cracks and crevices. The last layer is the bedrock which is hard and difficult to dig.

Some common methods of soil conservation are explained below:
(i)Mulching: The bare ground between plants is covered with a layer of organic matter like straw. It helps to retain soil moisture.
(11) Contour barriers: Stones, grass, soil are used to build barriers along contours. Trenches are made in front of the barriers to collect water.
(iii) Rock dam: Rocks are piled up to slow down the flow of water. This prevents gullies and further soil loss.
(iv)Terrace farming: These are made on the steep slopes so that flat surfaces are available to grow crops. They
can reduce surface run-off and soil erosion.
(v)Intercropping: Different crops are grown in alternate rows and are sown at different times to protect the soil from rain wash.

The colour texture of soil is determined by parent rock .
Soil properties such as thickness, grain distribution (texture), chemical composition, physical-mechanical, and hydrophysical features are directly determined by the parent rock.

Illegal hunting of animals is called poaching. Poachers hunt the animals for selling their skin, horn, fur and hides. All valuable parts of these animals are used for various purposes and are sold at very high prices.
Uses for ornaments : The bones and other parts like trunks of elephants etc. are used to make ornaments.
Uses in medicines : The horns and bones of some animals like rhinoceros and tigers are used to prepare some traditional medicine specially in Asian countries.
For wall hanging and clothings : The skin, fur and hides are used for the clothing and wall hangings.

Water availability per person in India is declining.
This statement is true. Though water is present in abundance, fresh water is a scarce resource. Water availability is a serious problem in many regions of the world. Due to the wastage of water, deforestation, and the pollution and depletion of fresh water reserves (such as rivers and ground water), the availability of water is fast declining.

Question
Which are the two main climatic factors responsible for soil formation ?
Solution :
Temperature and rainfall are the two main climatic factors responsible for soil formation .
Explanation:
- The soil is one of the key elements of an ecosystem's sustainability as it is the vital natural medium for vegetation development.
- It can be described as the bottom layer of earth where crops develop, a typically ‘black or dark brown material’ composed of a combination of organic remains, clay, and rock particles.
- And human operations also effects for the soil formation.

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 had diverse political, economic, military, religious and social causes. An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle February, 1857. The cartridges were rumoured to have been made from cow and sow fat. A famous policy under his period was 'Doctrine of Lapse'. Under this, many states, like Satara, Jaitpur, Sambhalpur, Jhansi, were captured by the British who expanded recklessly. Thus the political factors, i.e. expansionary policy of the British greatly contributed towards the revolt of 1857.

Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks, affect both erosion and fertility. When plants die, they decay and become part of the soil.
Some of the methods that must be adopted for conserving soil are as follows: 1. Afforestation 2. Checking Overgrazing 3. Constructing Dams 4. Changing Agricultural Practices!
Soil conservation includes all those measures which help in protecting the soil from erosion and exhaustion. Soil erosion has been continuing over, such a large part of India for such a long time that it has assumed alarming proportions.

The rise of nationalism in Europe initiated with the Spring of Nations in 1848. ... Nationalism was the ideological impetus that, in a few decades, transformed Europe. Rule by monarchies and foreign control of territory was replaced by self-determination and newly formed national governments. The term ‘nationalism’ is similar to the term ‘patriotism’. However, we must know that there isn’t one rigid meaning of nationalism. We shall look at this very interesting topic by reading about the rise of nationalism in Europe.

The Constitution of the United States established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The constitution is an instrument of control, as it helps a government to control the governed and assists the government to control itself. It helps in setting boundaries for the judiciary, legislature and the executive by separating powers of the three arms of government.
