‘Means of transport’ refers to the different types of vehicles we use to move ourselves or goods from one place to another. Two types of vehicles that run on railway tracks are trains and metros. Water transport is especially helpful in places surrounded by water because it provides a convenient and often the only way to travel across rivers, lakes, or oceans. Section E: Differentiate Concepts
A car is powered by an engine that runs on fuel and is used for faster travel over varying distances. A bullock cart is pulled by an animal and is typically used for slower travel or carrying goods, often in rural areas. A ship moves primarily with the help of an engine and can travel long distances carrying many people and cargo. A rowing boat, on the other hand, moves through human effort by rowing and is typically used by one or two people for shorter distances on rivers or lakes. Section F: Diagram-Based Question
a) The three main modes of transport shown are land transport (person walking, car, train), water transport (raft), and air transport (aeroplane).
b) The invention of the wheel allowed the development of vehicles like the train and car, as it enabled the construction of carts and later, more complex wheeled vehicles.
c) The raft is powered by human effort (paddling or pushing) or current, while the train is powered by an engine, allowing it to move much faster and carry heavier loads without human physical effort. Section G: Long Answer Questions
The invention of the wheel dramatically changed travel by enabling the creation of carts, often pulled by animals like bullocks. This made moving goods and people much easier and faster over long distances than walking or carrying things. This fundamental invention was crucial for the development of almost all modern vehicles, including cars, buses, and trains, allowing for the efficient and rapid movement we experience today. It is important to make responsible choices about how we travel for both environmental and social reasons. Environmentally, using cars for short distances wastes fuel, which is a limited resource and contributes to pollution; walking or cycling instead conserves fuel and reduces our carbon footprint. Socially, being considerate on public transport, such as offering seats to the elderly, fosters a respectful and cooperative community. Choosing appropriate transport, like a bullock cart on narrow village roads or ships for large cargo, also ensures efficient and sustainable movement.
