Geography PYQ Question Paper Analysis and


Trend Pattern
(Based on PDF 2016 – JAN 2025)
1. Variety in Question Formats:
● Multiple Choice Question (MCQs): All questions are in the same format, with
four options given.

● Match Based Question (Match List): These questions are being asked in
large numbers. These consist of two lists (List I and List II), in which concepts,
scholars, places, theories, instruments, etc. have to be matched. This format is
common in various units like geographical thinking, geomorphology,
climatology, oceanography, economic geography, geography of India and
geographical techniques.

● Assertion And Reason (Assertion & Reason - A/R): The number of these
questions is also important. In these, an assertion (A) and a reason (R) are
given, and the examinee has to evaluate the relationship and truth between
them. These test conceptual understanding.

● Statement Based Question (Statement-based): In these, one or more


statements are given and it is asked which statement(s) is/are true or false.
These test both factual and ideological information. These often involve
questions giving 4-5 statements and choosing true/false combinations (e.g. A,
B are correct; C, D, E are wrong).

Upcoming UGC NET/JRF Read this document carefully for the


examination. Professors Adda subject expert team has
painstakingly prepared it for your study assistance. We are always
happy to help our students till their ultimate success.

● Chronological Sequence (Chronological Order): Questions that organize


events, scholars, theories, publications or processes in the order of their
occurrence are also asked, particularly in geographical thinking and
environmental geography.

● Ascendant/Descending Sequence (Ascending/Descending Order):


Questions that rank states/regions/countries based on a particular indicator
(e.g. population density, literacy, production, HDI) in data-based units such as
Population Geography, Economic Geography, Geography of India.

● Paragraph/Passage Based Question (Passage-based): A passage is given,


based on which 5 questions are asked. It tests comprehension and analytical
ability. (eg climate change, passages based on Malthus's theory were seen).

● Diagram/Map Based Question (Diagram/Map-based): Questions are asked


based on a diagram (e.g. energy consumption pattern, temperature
distribution graph) or map (e.g. passes of India).

2. Balancing ideological versus factual questions:


● A good balance of both conceptual clarity and factual knowledge is seen in the
question papers.

● Geographical thinking requires a deep understanding of theories, models and


concepts in units such as geomorphology, climatology, oceanography,
population and settlement geography, economic geography.

● Whereas, in Geography of India, Resource Geography, Geographical


Techniques and Environmental Geography, factual information (like census
data, names of places, names of instruments, dates of treaties/conventions)
has more importance.

3. Difficulty Level:
● The overall level of questions appears to be moderate to difficult. Many
questions have multiple-statement format and matching questions, requiring
precise information and clear understanding of concepts. Assertion-reason
questions can be particularly challenging.
conclusion:
From the analysis of these question papers, it is clear that success in the UGC
NET Geography exam requires a comprehensive and deep understanding of all the
units of the syllabus. Merely memorizing facts is not enough, but it is also
important to understand concepts, compare different theories and develop
analytical skills. Special attention should be paid to practicing matching,
assertion-reason, and statement-based questions. In-depth study of previous
years' questions is definitely helpful in determining the right direction of
preparation.

2. Assertion (A): The density of oceanic water generally decreases from polar regions
towards the equator.
Reason (R): Higher temperatures and potentially higher precipitation/freshwater
input near the equator reduce the density of surface water compared to colder, saltier
polar waters.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from
the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
4. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Answer: 1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:
● Assertion (A): Ocean water density is primarily influenced by temperature and
salinity. Colder water is denser, and saltier water is denser. Polar waters are
generally colder and can be saltier (due to ice formation excluding salt), making
them denser than warmer equatorial waters.
● Reason (R): Equatorial regions experience higher solar insolation, leading to
warmer surface water (lower density). They also often receive significant rainfall
and river discharge, adding freshwater which further reduces salinity and
density.
● The factors mentioned in (R) directly cause the density pattern described in (A).
● Therefore, both statements are correct, and the reason explains the assertion.

3. Which of the following statements accurately describe characteristics or outcomes


of the Quantitative Revolution in Geography?

A. It emphasized the use of statistical methods and mathematical models.


B. It sought to make geography more scientific and objective.
C. It led to a complete rejection of regional geography approaches.
D. Key proponents included Schaefer, Haggett, Chorley, and Bunge.
E. It focused primarily on qualitative descriptions of unique places.

1. A, B, and D only
2. A, C, and E only
3. B, C, and D only
4. A, B, and E only

Answer: 1. A, B, and D only

Explanation:
● A (Correct): The core of the Quantitative Revolution was the adoption of
statistical techniques and mathematical modeling to analyze spatial patterns.
● B (Correct): A major goal was to move geography towards a more rigorous,
scientific discipline, emphasizing objectivity and law-seeking over idiographic
description.
● C (Incorrect): While it challenged the dominance of traditional regional
geography, it didn't lead to its complete rejection; regional studies adapted and
continued.
● D (Correct): Fred K. Schaefer's critique of exceptionalism laid groundwork, while
Peter Haggett, Richard Chorley, and William Bunge were key figures in applying
quantitative methods.
● E (Incorrect): The focus shifted away from qualitative descriptions towards
identifying general spatial laws and patterns.

4. According to Von Thünen's model of agricultural land use, which activity would
typically be located closest to the central market, assuming an isotropic plain?
1. Livestock ranching
2. Grain farming (three-field system)
3. Firewood and timber production
4. Market gardening and dairy farming

Answer: 4. Market gardening and dairy farming

Explanation:
● Von Thünen's model arranges agricultural activities in concentric rings around a
central market based on land rent, transport costs, and product perishability.
● Market gardening and dairy farming: These produce perishable and bulky
goods (like milk, fruits, vegetables) that are expensive to transport over long
distances and need quick access to the market. They can command high prices,
justifying the high land rent near the city.

● Firewood and timber: Bulky and costly to transport, located in the second ring.
● Grain farming: Less perishable and less expensive to transport per unit weight
than dairy/vegetables, located further out.
● Livestock ranching: Requires extensive land and is least perishable, located
furthest from the market where land rent is lowest.

5. Assertion (A): The 'Heartland' theory suggests that control over Eastern Europe is
vital for commanding the global landmass.
Reason (R): Mackinder viewed the Eurasian landmass, particularly its inaccessible
'Pivot Area' or 'Heartland', as the key geographical base for world domination due to
its resource potential and protection from sea power.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
4. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Answer: 1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:
● Assertion (A): Mackinder's famous dictum states: "Who rules East Europe
commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;
Who rules the World-Island commands the World." This highlights the strategic
importance of Eastern Europe as the gateway to the Heartland.
● Reason (R): The core idea of the theory is the strategic significance of the vast,
resource-rich Eurasian interior (Heartland), which was largely immune to attack
by sea power, making it a potential base for a dominant land power.
● The strategic importance of the Heartland, as explained in (R), is the foundation
for why controlling its gateway (Eastern Europe), as stated in (A), is considered
crucial.
● Therefore, both statements are correct and (R) provides the underlying rationale
for (A).

6. Which of the following are considered key elements influencing spatial interaction
according to Edward Ullman?

A. Complementarity
B. Transferability
C. Intervening Opportunity
D. Agglomeration Economies
E. Deglomeration Effects

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:


1. A, B, and C only
2. A, C, and D only
3. B, D, and E only
4. A, B, and E only

Answer: 1. A, B, and C only

Explanation:
● Edward Ullman identified three essential bases for spatial interaction:
● A. Complementarity: A supply in one place must match a demand in another.
● B. Transferability: The ease and cost with which a good or person can be moved
between places. Interaction only occurs if the cost of movement is not prohibitive.
● C. Intervening Opportunity: The presence of a closer, alternative source of
supply or demand reduces interaction between more distant places.
● D & E (Incorrect): Agglomeration and deglomeration economies relate more to
industrial location factors (Weber, Hoover) rather than Ullman's primary
conditions for spatial interaction itself.

7. The 'Doctrine of Uniformitarianism', fundamental to understanding geological


processes, is most famously associated with which scholar?
1. W. M. Davis
2. James Hutton

Explanation:
● James Hutton (Correct): In his "Theory of the Earth" (1788/1795), Hutton
proposed that the geological processes shaping the Earth today are the same as
those that operated in the past ("the present is the key to the past"). This is the
essence of uniformitarianism.
● Charles Lyell: Popularized and refined Hutton's ideas in his "Principles of
Geology," making uniformitarianism widely accepted. While crucial, Hutton
originated the core concept.
● W. M. Davis: Known for the "Geographical Cycle" or cycle of erosion, which
builds upon uniformitarian principles but is a distinct model.
● G. K. Gilbert: Made significant contributions to geomorphology, particularly
fluvial processes and laccolith formation, applying uniformitarian ideas.

Forest or Taiga.
● ET (Tundra Climate): Characterized by extremely cold conditions with
temperatures below freezing for most of the year, supporting low-growing Tundra
vegetation (mosses, lichens, dwarf shrubs).
● These pairings match Köppen climate types with their typical associated
vegetation biomes.

9. Assertion (A): Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) are characterized by significantly higher
temperatures in urban areas compared to their surrounding rural areas, especially at
night.
Reason (R): Urban surfaces (concrete, asphalt) absorb more solar radiation and
release heat slowly, combined with reduced vegetation cover and waste heat from
human activities, contributing to elevated urban temperatures.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
4. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Answer: 1. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:
● Assertion (A): The Urban Heat Island effect is a well-documented phenomenon
where cities are warmer than adjacent rural areas, with the temperature
difference often being most pronounced during calm nights after sunset.
● Reason (R): This statement correctly identifies the primary causes: lower albedo
and higher thermal capacity of urban materials leading to greater heat absorption
and retention; reduced evapotranspiration due to less vegetation; and
anthropogenic heat release from buildings, vehicles, and industry.
● The factors listed in (R) are the direct physical mechanisms that cause the
temperature difference described in (A).
● Therefore, both statements are correct and (R) explains (A).
