RBSE VU Geography study plan

Sketch and label a cross-section of Earth's interior (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core) from memory, stating depth ranges and one evidence source for each boundary

Distinguish plate-boundary types (divergent, convergent, transform) and match each to two landforms it produces

Explain Wegner's continental drift and plate tectonics as successive theories, listing three lines of evidence for each

Classify geomorphic processes into endogenetic and exogenetic, giving two examples of each agent (river, glacier, wind, wave)

Define weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition and write one Indian example of each landform type

Trace the course of a major Indian river from source to mouth and annotate the landforms formed at each stage

Identify the physiographic divisions of India (Himalayas, Indo-Gangetic Plain, Peninsular Plateau, Coastal Plains, Islands) and locate each on an outline map

Describe the Aravalli range's extent, rock type and role in Rajasthan's drainage and settlement

Compare erosional and depositional landforms of wind action with reference to the Thar Desert

Explain the formation of the Rajasthan desert and its relationship to the monsoon and the Aravallis

Diagram the vertical structure of the atmosphere with temperature trends and label the tropopause and stratopause

Explain the horizontal and vertical distribution of pressure belts and how they shift seasonally

Describe the mechanism of the Indian monsoon including the role of the ITCZ, jet streams and differential heating

Distinguish cyclones, anticyclones, and the conditions under which each forms

Relate Rajasthan's aridity to monsoon behaviour and western disturbances

Draw the hydrological cycle and label stores, fluxes and two human interventions

Explain ocean salinity and temperature variation with depth and latitude, and describe two causes of ocean currents

Compare soil formation factors and classify Indian soils by region and crop suitability

Describe the major biomes of India and identify two threats to each

Explain groundwater depletion in Rajasthan and one management response

Interpret population pyramids and identify stage of demographic transition for two contrasting countries

Calculate and interpret birth rate, death rate, natural increase and dependency ratio from given figures

Classify settlements by pattern and function with one Indian example each

Compare agricultural systems (subsistence, commercial, plantation) and locate two Indian examples

Explain Weber's least-cost location theory and apply it to one industry

Map India's major industrial regions and name one key industry for each

Describe the modes of transport in India and evaluate rail versus road for freight

Explain Rajasthan's mineral wealth and its role in industrial location

Analyse Rajasthan's agriculture: crops, irrigation sources and the Indira Gandhi Canal's impact

Outline India's major trade partners and the composition of exports and imports

State the properties of map projections and select an appropriate projection for a given purpose

Interpret scale, grid references and contour patterns to describe relief and slope

Read a topographical map and identify settlement, drainage and transport features

Explain the principles of remote sensing including spectral bands and resolution types

Describe GIS components and vector versus raster data models with one use case each

Classify natural hazards and describe preparedness and mitigation measures for floods, droughts and earthquakes

Explain sustainable development principles and apply them to one Rajasthan case study

Review weak areas from weeks 1 to 7 and revise key diagrams from memory

Attempt a timed full-length mock paper under exam conditions and score it
