KSEAB II PUC Geography study plan

Label and explain the internal structure of the Earth and plate-tectonic evidence, describing three plate boundaries with one landform example each

Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic types and match each class to two Karnataka or Indian examples

Trace the cycle of erosion and identify erosional and depositional landforms carved by rivers, glaciers, wind and waves

Sketch a labelled diagram of a river's course showing youthful, mature and old-stage features

Explain the composition and vertical layers of the atmosphere and distinguish weather from climate

Compare the three mechanisms of heat transfer and account for the inversion of temperature and its causes

Describe the major pressure belts and planetary wind system and link them to the onset of the Indian monsoon

Identify cloud types and classify rainfall into convectional, orographic and cyclonic forms with one location example each

Relate ocean currents to prevailing winds, Coriolis force and temperature-salinity differences, naming four warm and four cold currents

Explain tides with spring and neap tide causes and distinguish semidiurnal from diurnal patterns

Describe ocean-floor relief from continental shelf to trench and state the economic value of each zone

Interpret a simple hypsographic curve to compare land and ocean elevation distribution

Interpret population pyramids for a young and an ageing population and infer dependency ratios from each

Apply the demographic transition model to place India in its correct stage with two supporting indicators

Classify settlements by site, situation and function, giving one Indian example of each type

Distinguish primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities and place six Indian industries into these sectors

Locate on an outline map the major physiographic divisions of India and name the highest peak of each range

Compare the retreat of the southwest monsoon with the onset of the northeast monsoon and state the rainfall each brings to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu

Classify Indian soils by formation and match each soil type to a crop it best supports

Summarise the distribution of tropical evergreen, deciduous, thorn and mangrove forests with one state example each

Rank India's leading crop-producing states for rice, wheat, sugarcane and cotton and explain two locational factors for each

Trace the route and significance of a major national highway and a major railway corridor passing through Karnataka

Describe Karnataka's relief from the coastal plain through the Western Ghats to the Maidan and identify three rivers draining each region

Compare black cotton soil of the northern Maidan with laterite soil of the coastal belt in terms of formation and crops

Explain Karnataka's rainfall gradient from Agumbe to Ballari and account for the rain-shadow effect

Locate Karnataka's major industrial centres and match each to its dominant industry, such as iron and steel, sugar, textiles or information technology

Read a toposheet's marginal information and convert between representative fraction, statement of scale and graphical scale

Identify conventional signs for settlement, road, stream and contour on a sample toposheet description and interpret a contour pattern for slope

Construct a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph from given data and state which diagram suits which data type

Revise all five domains using a one-page formula and fact sheet per domain

Attempt two full-length timed practice papers and mark them against the syllabus weighting

List and close the five weakest recall points identified from the practice papers
