The roads can traverse comparatively more dissected and undulating topography.<\/li>\n<li>Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slopes and as such can traverse mountains such as the Himalayas.<\/li>\n<li>Road transport is economical in the transportation of a few persons and a relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.<\/li>\n<li>It provides door-to-door service, which results in a lower cost of loading and unloading.<\/li>\n<li>It is used as a feeder to other modes of transport such as they provide a link between railway stations, air, and seaports.<\/li>\n<li>Road transport connects fields with markets and factories.<\/li>\n<li>Road transport is useful for the transport of perishable commodities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff;\">Question-2:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWhere and why is rail transport the most convenient means of transportation?<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924;\">Solution:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Railways can transport larger number of goods and passengers over long distances at an economical cost.

Even books, magazines and newspapers are important means of communication. Various means of transport and communication have reduced distances, bringing the world closer. Modern life is so complex that one has to depend on others. The same is true of the countries as well. No country today can prosper without the co-operation and assistance of others. This requires the movement of goods and materials between countries. Trade provides us with our necessities and also adds to the amenities and comfort of our life. We may also notice that they are rightly called the lifelines of our national economy.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #4dbdff;\">Question-6<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWrite a note on the changing nature of international trade in the last fifteen years.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #eb4924;\">Solution:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>The nature of international trade in the last fifteen years has changed due to, globalization. Earlier bilateral agreements were made to conduct trade between two countries.<\/p>\n<p>But through globalization, an effort has been made to integrate national economies with the world economy. Now producers from outside countries can sell their goods and services in other countries. Globalisation includes the movement of capital as well as workers from one country to another country. The restrictions on the import of goods have been removed. Under World Trade<\/p>\n<p>The organization, efforts are being made to have multi-lateral agreements for international trade. WTO is regulating the international trade of goods as well as services. Thus international trade has undergone a sea change. The export of agriculture and allied products, ores, minerals, gems, jewellary, chemicals and allied products, engineering goods, and petroleum products have increased. On the other hand import of petroleum and petroleum products, pearls and precious stones, inorganic chemicals, coal, coke have increased too.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange of commodities and goods have been superseded by the exchange of information and knowledge. India has emerged as a software giant at the international level. It is earning large foreign exchange through the export of information technology because of its fast-growing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Multiple Choice Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>NCERT Questions<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
