coleoptile is removed, auxin is produced, so the plasticity of the cell walls of the cells in the cut end has no change and the cells cannot take in water by osmosis. Thus there is no change in cell volume, resulting in the stop of elongation.

(ii) When the coleoptile is.

illuminated from one side, the unilateral light cause auxin to gather on the shaded side of a coleoptile, the cells in the shaded side take in more water by osmosis ude to the reduction of plasticity of the cell walls of the cells. The volume of the cell in the. shaded side increase mire rapidly than the illuminated side resulting in the curvature of a coleoptile.

Water Table Characteristics:

Geyser is an intermittent fountain of hot water ejected from a hole in the earth's crust with considerable force, accompanied by steam. Some geysers erupt at regular intervals, other more irregularly and spasmodically.

Artesian well is a boring put down into an aquifer in an artesian basin; if the outlet of a well is at a lower level than the water-table, water will rise in the well under hydrostatic pressure.

Mode of

f Formation

From the mouth of geyser. there is usually a vent or a large fault line. penetrates deeply into the earth. The vent and cracks around are filled with water. Superheating in the long, bending vent by hot lava causes the build-up of water pressure at a temperature above 100°C, until suddenly part is coverted into super-heated steam, and the water in the upper part is violently emitted. Cooler water fills up the vent again and the entire process goes on in a cycle.

Artesian well is a special type of well. There must be three layers of rock, with the permeable layer or aquifer lying between two Impermeable layers, and they must be in a shallow synclinal basin or dip in the same.

direction. The layer of permeable rock is exposed at one or both ends in a rainy region. Rain falling at the

outcrops passes through it and is trapped because of the

impermeable layers above and below it. Gradually, the underground water in the permeable layer will increase and the water-table will raised. If a well is drilled into the aquifer, water will gush out provided that the pressure is enough.

Nautre of Water:

The water emitted from a geyser is usually trapped. locally. It seeps down through the vent or fault lines in the

area.

The water trapped the aquifer of an artesian well is the rain water falls at the rims of the basin, usually far away from the well. Uses of Water:

The greatest use of the boiling water is piped to generate electricity known as geo-thermal power.

Water trapped from the artesian wells mostly serves as drinking water for livestocks. It is unsuitable for use as irrigation water since it contains too much dissolved mineral salts which poision the crops. Location of Occurrence:

Geysers occur in volcanic region. The best known examples are those of New. Zealand, Iceland and Yellow stone National Park, U.S.A.

Artesian wells are found in artesian-basins. The best known artesian area is the Great Artesian Basin of Australia, Another large one is in the Great Plains of the United States from W. Dakota to Kansaa. 47. Diagrams A and B of the

ANSWER:

Industry (33.5%)

The graphs show that during 1949-1970, there was a rapid decrease in the relative importance in the agriculture sector but a rapid increase in the industrial sector, especially heavy industry, which experienced the greatest increase in importance. Reasons for the junimportance of ind

in pre war China:

Large scale development of heavy industry needs a lot

of power resources, metallic and non-metallic minerals, Before 1949, China concen- trated on the development of agriculture, Industrialization appeared to be difficult at that time. It may be due to the poor and inadequate developments in communication and transport; the lack of knowledge and poor techniques in exploring and utilizing her stock of natural resources; and the rapid increase in population which resulted in a huge demand for good that capital could by no means be easily accumulated for the pursuit of industrialization, In those pre-war years, all her chief industries had to thrive on foreign investment. Heavy industries were found chiefly in North and Northeast China where coal and iron: could be found, Light industries were scattered in sea-ports and around railway junctions in the cast, where transportation is easy and particular kinds of agricultural products are freely available.

Reasons for the rapid development in recent

years:

After taking over of the Communist Government, nation-wide industrial rehabilitation development scheme was drawn up. It planned, on one hand, to preserve, consolidate and revitalize the existing Industries. Thus the heavy industries in the northeastern provinces have been rehabilitated most rapidly and Soon undergone great advancement. On the other hand, a combined effort to explore new natural resources side by side, with the development in communication networks and to facilitate industrial development was stressed. Examples of this1 linked development of local natural resouces and industry are many. The opening up of oil fields such as those in W. Sinklang has made the development of heavy industry in Urumchi possible. New oil field at Taching; the active mining of coal reserves in N. China and the improved. technique în exploitation of iron in Anshan, for examples, have helped the northern and northeastern provinces undergo. a more rapid development. Newly developed source regions of hydroelectricity have even greater impact on industrial development, The Liuchia Dam to the west of Lanchow, for example, has encouraged the industrial development in Lanchow.

Light industries have undergone rapid advancement, too. With the agarian reform and the establishment of communes, much agricultural labour has been released and. entered into industrial labour force. Productivity in agriculture has been raised and this in turn has led to the expansion in food processing industries. Other examples such as cotton textile industry, has sprung up following the establishment of new cotton plantations at Urumchi, Hami and Turfan. The exploitation of metallic and non-metallic minerals, suc as alumina ând and phosphorous in Western Szechwan has furnished the

Y development of consumer goods

manufacturing and other light industries too.
