Std.7 sst ch.1 question answer

2 . If the Himalayas did not exist     If the Himalayas did not exist, India would be very different. The cold winds from Central Asia would enter India freely, making the climate much colder and drier. Many rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra might not exist because these rivers originate from the Himalayan glaciers. Without the Himalayas, there would be less rainfall, fewer forests, and farming would become difficult in many regions. The northern plains might even look like deserts. The Himalayas also protect India from strong winds and help in bringing monsoon rains, so life in India would be much harder without them. 3. Why is India called a ‘mini-continent’? India is called a “mini-continent” because it has great diversity in physical features, climate, culture, languages, and natural resources, just like a continent.

China and Iran on Saturday signed what was described as a 25-year "strategic cooperation pact”, during Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's on-going six-nation tour to West Asia.

The deal, which has been in the works for five years, was signed between Mr. Wang and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, Agence France-Press reported from Tehran. Mr. Wang is visiting Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, the UAE, Bahrain and Oman.

The agreement comes amid a major push from China to back Iran, which counts on Beijing as its largest trading partner, as it deals with the continuing weight of sanctions re-instated following then U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal. Earlier this week, China and Russia called for the U.S. to "unconditionally return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as soon as possible and revoke the unilateral sanctions against Iran” as their Foreign Ministers met in China. In this context, they proposed "the establishment of a regional security dialogue platform to converge a new consensus on resolving the security concerns of countries in the region.”
