Weathering takes place as rocks are broken down into progressively smaller pieces by the effects of weather. These pieces do not move to a new location. They simply break down, but remain next to one another. It is most common at the surface where exposed bed rock meets the atmosphere. However, it can extend many thousands of feet downward into the Earth&#039;s crust, Following cracks, Fissures and microscopic holes that allow water to penetrate. Degradation and Aggradation are the two ways which are continuously at work creating different land forms on the earth&#039;s surface. Erosion: The removal of outer layer of rocks in the natural environment is called as erosion. The major erosional agents constitute wind, water or ice, down slope creep of soil, force of gravity and burrowing animals.

The causes that led to the downfall of the Sultans were : The Delhi Sultans came and conquered India by the force of their armies. But they never tried to win the confidence and love of their subjects. Most of the Sultans were religious fanatics. Sultans like Firoz Tughlaq and Sikandar Lodhi reimposed Jazia, the much hated religious tax on the Hindus. Consequently, the Hindus hated them and became their enemies. The Muslim nobility was also much to be blamed for the downfall of the Sultans. The amirs and the nobles were too powerful and could be kept under control only by powerful rulers like Alauddin Khalji and Balban. Whenever a weak ruler came to the throne, they took advantage and rebelled against him. The Jagirdari system revived by Firoz Tughlaq was an important factor responsible for the ruin of the Sultanate. The Jagirdars became very powerful in their territories and arrested their independence. The empire was too vast to be controlled in those days when means of communications were not so developed. \u00e2\u017e\u00a1 Timur&#039;s invasion gave the final blow to the already disintegrating Sultanate, and with Babur&#039;s invasion, came the end of the Delhi Sultanate."],"difficulty":"E","outcome":"book","mark":"1","question":{"title":"Answer these Questions :bsp;&nbsp;<i><i>","option":["Write a brief note on the reasons for the downfall of the Sultanate period."],"image":""}},{"excel_id":"Penguin Social Studies","class":"Class 7","subject":"Penguin Social Studies","book":"Penguin Social Studies-7","chapter":"The Mughal Empire","type":"Tick the correct option","answer":["option c"],"difficulty":"E","outcome":"book","mark":"1","question":{"title":"Tick (\u00e2\u0153\u201c) the correct option :bsp;&nbsp;<i><i>","option":["Babur was the king of Farghana in :<br>\t a.

He was born at Talwandi (Nankana Sahib presently in Pakistan) on April 15, 1469. He was married and had two sons. In 1496, he preached the message of oneness of God. He said, \"There is no Hindu; there is no Mulsim\" implying the unity of all religions. From 1501 until 1520, Nanak travelled far and wide in South East Asia and also went to Mecca. He undertook extensive pilgrimages to many holy places in India and gave discourses to his devotee en-route. He established a centre (dera) for discourses at Kartarpur (Dera Baba Nanak on the banks of river Ravi). It is built by his disciples. He died on September 22, 1539. During his lifetime he did not consider himself as a founder of any religion or a prophet (avatar). His successors came to be known as Gurus. Sikhism emerged in the process of public debates and preaching the message of Guru Nanak. His songs along with those of Kabir were later collected in the form of Adi Granth. Commonly known as Granth Sahib. It became the holy scripture of Sikh religion. Guru Nanak&#039;s early message of &#039;oneness of all religions&#039; is also summarized in his teaching called Mul Muntra.

Cattle used to get mixed up in ranches. To sort out the problem, the cattle owners used hot irons to mark their cattle. The process was called branding of cattle. In case of a product, branding is done by giving the product a unique name and\/or a unique logo. When the brand name and logo flashes in front of our eyes for years then they get registered in our subconscious mind. The colour scheme and style of the font of the language on packages used in the advertisements are according to the use and target group of a product. For example, most of the chocolates come in dark brown packets which resemble the colour of chocolate. In a particular product category, there are many brands, so just making a brand name and logo is not enough to establish a brand. This requires more than that. Let us take an example, we find Shaktibhog Atta, Naturefresh mustard oil in the packet. The branding is done in order to differentiate it from other products available in the market. But, just naming the product is not sufficient to make us buy it. So, the company has to provide the consumer a reason to prefer a particular brand of sugar. It has to convince us that its sugar is better than the others available in the market. This provides scope for advertising. And, the advertising plays a crucial role  in the company trying to convince us to buy the product that is advertised."],"difficulty":"E","outcome":"book","mark":"1","question":{"title":"Answer these Questions :bsp;&nbsp;<i><i>","option":["What is a brand?
