2.)
3.)

Deforestation : The main cause of soil erosion is the removal of vegetation or plants from the
surface of the soil which is called deforestation .
Soil erosion by water : Heavy rains and running water remove the top soil.
Soil erosion by wind : Strong winds blows aways particles of soil with it.

Q8. What are the advantages of building embankmebments along river banks?
Ans.1. Building embankments along river banks and bunds around fields prevents soil erosion .

2. Apart from causing soil erosion , deforestation results in loss of wildlife.
3. When forest wealth is endangered, the balance in nature is upset.
Q10. How are igneous rocks formed?
Ans. Igneous rocks are formed from molten rock called magma which is present inside the Earth. They are
formed underground as well as above the ground. When a volcano erupts, it causes the magma. The
magma ,after it come out to the surface of the earth , is called lava . The lava cools down and forms igneous
rocks.
Q11. What makes pumice float on water?
Ans. Pumice is light and porous. It is formed when a volcano erupts. It is full of holes caused by volcanic
gases which expand.It has small pockets of air , that is why it floats on water.
Q12. What are the uses of metals?
Ans. 1. Metals are used to make utensils, tools, machines, vehicles and coins.
2. Wires made from copper or aluminium are used to supply electricity.
3. Precious metals like platinum , gold and silver are used for making jewellery .
Q13.How are craters formed on the Moons surface?
Ans.The craters on the Moon are made by rocks that strike the Moon. The fast moving meteorites crash into
the Moon and dig craters in the Moons surface.
Q14. What are the effects of absence of atmosphere on the Moon?
Ans.1. There is almost no atmosphere on the Moon.Thats why there are no plants and animals .
2. Sunlight does not get scattered on the Moon because of the absence of air, so the sky looks dark and the
stars are visible even during day time and absence of air sound waves are not able to travel thats why no
sound on the Moon.
3. There is on wind to move the dust on the surface of the Moon. So the footprints of the astronauts will be
preserved for many years.
Q15. Why is the Moon not visible to us on the new moon night?
Ans. The Moon does not have its own light and it reflects the light of the Sun . On a new Moon night , when
the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, the sunlight falls on the part of the Moon which is turned
away from us and so the Moon is not visible to us.
Q16. How are tides caused?
Ans. 1. Tides are periodic rise and fall of water caused by the gravity of the Moon and the Sun.
2. There is high tide when thye water lavel rises and low tide when the water level falls.
Q17. What do astronauts have to learn before going into space?
Ans. 1. Astronauts have to undergo intensive training to acquire all the skills and knowledge required on a
space mission.
2. They learn how to deal with emergencies , and learn about rocks and soil. They used latest computer
technology , thats why they have to be well educated and have strong technical skills.
Q18. How does the blood keep on circulating in our body?
Ans. The heart keeps on beating constantly and pumps blood constantly to different organs of the body. After
moving through the whole body the impuuuure blood comes back to the heart From here the heart pumps
pure blood towards the organs. This way blood keeps on moving in our body.
Q8. Short notes:
Filtration
Filtration is a method of purifying water by passing it through a thin cloth or filter paper. A filter paper acts
like a strainer. It allows the water to pass through it but holds back the solid particles. A circular piece of
filter paper is folded in to a cone and placed in a funnel. The water along with its impurities is gently poured

IV Science Page | 8

into the funnel with the help of a glass rod. The insoluble particles settle on top of the filter paper and the
clear water is collected in a container kept below the funnel.
1.

Distillation

The process of purifying water which involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam is called
distillation. It involves two processes evaporation and condensation of water. This method is used to
separate soluble impurities from water. Impure water is heated till it boils. On boiling, water evaporates
leaving impurities behind in the flask. The steam is passed through a condenser which is kept cool by
circulating cold water around it. The steam cools down in the cool condenser and changes into water which
is collected in another flask. This water is absolutely pure.
2.

Sedimentary rocks

Weathering of rocks takes place because of the effects of sun, wind and rain. The rocks break down in to
small pieces settle together, they are called sediments. These sediments are carried to different places by
wind, water and gravity. As the layers of sediment settle down on top of each other, their weight squeezes the
pieces together. The dissolved minerals fill in the spaces between the sediments and cement the layers
together, forming sedimentary rocks.
3.

Limestone

Limestone is made from shells of tiny creatures living in oceans. Their shells are made of calcium. After the
death of these creatures, the shells fall in to the bottom of the oceans. The shells change in to a mineral called
calcite which is the main substance in the limestone. It forms chalk which can help you to write on the
blackboard.
