@wakandaBhai es time pe Savinder Singh environmental geog h padh lo assuming you have enough time at this moment ...and later vision env 365 se Current feed Kar Dena

Optional 2nd m kon konse question konsi theory or current link ki h ....Sb apna apna bta skte h kya ??

@132_SIDmujhe to jyada scope nai dikha theories ka and limited time me kuch yaad bhi nai aaya khaas..I just tried to address the demand of questions through the syllabus given in paper 2

But I know few people who have used few theories like
4 c) present status of age structure and availability of workforce

Yaha pe they have used DTT to show current phase of Indian population and concept of optimal population in conclusion

5c) vertical growth of cities :- concentric zonation model

8c) India emerging power in Indian ocean realm :- Rimland theory

I doubt if I have used any of these in my answers ..ab to exactly kuch yaad bhi nai hai

@132_SIDI couldn't link theories.i just wrote generalist answers

@Arrah_Jilain age wala ques i didn't draw DTT as it wud have used space and taken time. I used the age pyramid diagram to dhow the age composition and used some data.

@Arrah_Jilaokay ....I have attempted many regional disparity questions so there are 3 theories (growth pole , cumulative causation ,3rd yad nhi rha kuch sam vikash jaisa tha ), ground water depletion and wildlife conservation linked with concept of mental map ,space programme linked with PIVOT AREA concept (heartland theory),.....## ha shi kha bahut jyada dimag us time lga nhi ### muje to scope bhi km lga

@132_SIDwhat have u written in "web of life question"?

@Scorpion888ya I did the same ..used survey data(table of current age structure and the predicted 2040 age structure) and a map to contrast the age structure of North and South ...I couldn't draw age pyramid since I already had drawn two diagrams and time was running short .

@Bubba_gumpbarry commner ke 4 rules of nature m ek .... Everything connected to everything se start kia than ...Man -envir relation ke ke sath 2-3 examples like ...Global warming, urban pollution....Used flow chart .....used rules of ecosystem and 4 rule of nature ..... Something like that
