Class 11 Geography
A comprehensive study of physical geography focusing on Earth systems, landform evolution, and the specific physiographic characteristics of the Indian subcontinent. Students analyze the intersection of natural processes and human settlement patterns through spatial data and field observations.
Geography as a Discipline
Exploration of geography as an integrating discipline that bridges natural and social sciences.
Understanding geography as a study of spatial variation and the synthesis of various physical and social phenomena.
Identifying the systematic and regional approaches to geographic study and their sub-disciplines.
The Earth: Origin and Evolution
Investigating the theories of Earth's formation, its internal structure, and the movement of tectonic plates.
Examining the Big Bang theory and the evolution of planets and the Earth's lithosphere.
Analyzing direct and indirect sources of information about the Earth's interior and seismic activity.
Studying Continental Drift, Sea Floor Spreading, and the theory of Plate Tectonics.
Landforms and Geomorphic Processes
Analyzing the internal and external forces that shape the Earth's surface and create diverse landscapes.
Understanding the chemical and physical breakdown of rocks and the gravitational movement of waste.
Studying the work of running water, groundwater, glaciers, waves, and winds.
Climate and Atmosphere
Examining atmospheric composition, heat budget, global wind patterns, and climatic classification.
Analyzing the heating and cooling of the atmosphere and the Earth's energy balance.
Study of pressure belts, planetary winds, cyclones, and air masses.
Classification of climates according to Koeppen and the study of climate change.
India: Physical Environment
