CLASS – VIII S.ST WORKSHEET – 8(GEOGRAPHY)
CHAPTER – 3 (MIGRATION) (IN CONTINUATION)
Internal Migration – Internal migration refers to people within a country moving to another
location within the borders.
It can be classified into four migration streams –
a) Rural-to- Rural – Under this people move from one village to another. Marriage, lack of
work and seasonality of work etc. are some factors responsible for rural to rural
migration. The introduction of GREEN REVOLUTION in Punjab, Haryana and Western
Uttar Pradesh in 1960s generated considerable migration of labour force from depressed
areas of eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to these areas. They all migrated in search of
better economic opportunities. Similarly thousands of villagers have moved to plantations
in Bengal and Assam as labourers.
b) Rural-to-Urban – Under this people migrate from one rural area to towns or metro cities.
Poverty and unemployment are the two main factors.
PUSH FACTORS- Poverty, unemployment, low and uncertain wages, uneconomic land
holdings and poor educational facilities are the main push factors in rural areas.
PULL FACTORS –The pull factors of urban areas may include better employment
opportunities, regular and high wages, fixed working hours, better educational facilities
and socio- cultural activities.
c) Urban-to-Urban – Under this people migrate from small towns with fewer facilities to
large cities or metro cities with more facilities. This is the reason that metro cities have
grown at a much faster rate as compared to other towns.
d) Urban-to-Rural –Such a movement takes place at the advanced stage of urbanization
when urban centers are characterized by over-congestion, haphazard growth, high cost of
living, heavy pressure on public utility services and unemployment etc.
CAUSES OF MIGRATION
ECONOMIC FACTOR – Most of the studies indicate that migration is primarily
motivated by economic factors. In developing countries, low agricultural income,
agricultural unemployment, and lack of alternative sources of income are the basic
factors pushing the migrants towards developed areas with greater job opportunities.
Better employment opportunities, higher wages, better working conditions and
attractive amenities are pull factors of an area.
MARRIAGE –Marriage is a very important social factor of migration. In rural areas
most of the girls have to migrate to their in-law’s place of residence after marriage.
EDUCATION – Rural areas by and large, lack educational facilities, especially those of
higher education, so rural people have to migrate to urban centers for this purpose.
Many of them settle down in cities for earning a livelihood after completing their
education.
LACK OF SECURITY – Political disturbances and interethnic conflicts drive people away
from their homes. Large people have migrated out of Jammu and Kashmir and Assam during
the last few years due to disturbed conditions there.
CONSEQUENCES OF MIGRATION
Migration affects the areas, areas of origin of migration and the areas of destination of the
migrant population.
DEMOGRAPHIC CONSEQUENCES- Migration leads to unbalanced
demographic distribution of population within the country. Only the able bodied
young people migrate from villages to cities or to other countries in search of jobs
and the rest of the family members stay back. This leads to serious imbalances in
age and sex ratio particularly in areas of high out-migration like Uttarakhand,
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Eastern Maharashtra.
SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES- Migration results in interaction between varied
cultures and leads to their diffusion. The receiving areas receive people belonging
to different cultures through migration which leads to cultural interaction and
enrichment. Family breakdown, fragmentation of social networks and psychosocial
stress are negative impacts of migration.
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES - Migration of people, just as international trade,
has a direct impact on both the sending country and the receiving country. The
receiving country gains as immigration increases the supply of labour, which
increases employment, production and thus national income. Adverse effects of
immigration include loss of jobs for the locals, heavy burden on natural resources
and public services. High skilled emigration or the so called “BRAIN DRAIN” can
imply a loss of public resources for the sending country. Although the sending
country gains through migrants as they transfer their earning to their home
country in the form of foreign exchange. But the sending country loses due to
reduction in skilled workforce which is critical for productivity and economic
growth.

CLASS - VIII
Answer key of S.ST Worksheet- 7 (HISTORY)
EXERCISE
1) Short Questions:
a) Why was there a civil war among the Marathas?
Ans) Bahadur Shah I, who succeeded Aurangzeb in 1707, released Shahu. This resulted in a civil
war over the Maratha throne between Shahu and Shivaji III.
b) What role did the Maratha chiefs play in territorial expansion?
Ans) Balaji Vishwanath secured Mughal recognition for Shahu as the rightful ruler of the Marathas.
Baji Rao I made peace between Satara and Kohlapur. Maratha chiefs like Sindhia of Gwalior,
Bhonsle of Nagpur, Gaekwad of Baroda and Holkar of Indore extended Maratha control up to the
outskirts of Delhi by 1737.
c) Name some Maratha chiefs who became almost independent of the Peshwa’s control. Ans) Some of chiefs like Sindhia in Gwalior,Bhonsle in Nagpur, Gaekwad in Baroda and Holkar in Indore became almost independent of the Peshwa’s control.
2) Long questions:
a) The Marathas became a major political force under the Peshwa’s. In this context, answer the
following questions:
i) How did the the Peshwa gradually become the real ruler of the Marathas?
Ans) Bahadur Shah I, who succeeded Aurangzeb in 1707, released Shahu. This resulted in a civil
war over the Maratha throne between Shahu and Shivaji III. Shahu emerged more powerful with
the help of Balaji Vishwanath, a shrewd revenue officer. While Shahu established his capital at
Satara, Shivaji III established his capital at Kohlapur. Constant warfare between Satara and
Kolhapur kept Shahu totally preoccupied. He grew increasingly dependent on Balaji Vishwanath,
whom he made his Peshwa, or chief minister. Gradually, the Peshwa became the real ruler of the
Marathas.
ii) Give an account of Maratha expansion under Baji Rao I.
Ans) The Maratha kingdom expanded under Baji Rao I. However, this expansion was mainly carried
out by the personal armies of the Maratha chiefs and not by the Peshwa’s troops. By 1737,
Maratha influence extended over Malwa, Gujarat,Bundelkhand and the outskirts of Delhi. Baji Rao
I captured Salsette and Bassein on the Konkan Coast from the Portuguese.
b) Narrate the events that led to the Third Battle of Panipat. Why did the Maratha fail in the
battle?
Ans) In 1757, the Marathas helped the Mughal Emperor by removing the agent posted in Delhi by
Ahmad Shah Abdali. In 1758, they took Sirhind and Lahore from the Afghans. All this made war
between Marathas and the Afghans inevitable.
CAUSES OF MARATHA FAILURE:
The Marathas did not receive any local support. They had made enemies of the local powers by
raiding their territories and had made no effort to win over their loyalty. As a result, the Maratha
army was desperately short of supplies on the eve of the war. The Marathas also made the
mistake of not adopting modern military techniques and weapons. Besides, they were weakened
by infighting among their chiefs.

Answer Key of Science Worksheet- 7 (Physics)
Ans 1: a) Volatile liquids such as alcohol and spirit evaporate much faster than water.That is why
volatile liquids are stored in tightly closed bottles
b) Rate of evaporation is more when the area of exposed surface is more. As area exposed in a dish is more,
therefore, evaporation is faster in a dish than in a bottle.
Ans 2: a) True
b) False
c) False
Ans 3: Naphthalene balls undergo sublimation process and directly changes into vapour and with time they
become small in size.
Ans 4: a) Camphor, ammonium chloride
b) Alcohol, spirit
Ans 5: In hot summer days, water remains cool in earthen pots. The reason is that water from earthen pot
seeps out on the surface through the pores in the pot and it evaporates. The heat required for evaporation is
taken from water inside the pot which therefore gets cooled.
Ans 6:a) Sublimation is the process by which a solid when heated, directly changes into its vapour without
first changing into liquid.
Application of sublimation: It is used in purification of substances such as iodine, benzoic acid, ammonium
chloride.
b) Evaporation is a process by which a liquid changes into vapour. The change of state from liquid to
vapour at all temperatures from the surface of a liquid is called evaporation.
Application of evaporation: Evaporation of sweat from our body helps to maintain body temperature at
37OC.
Ans 7:a) With the increase in humidity, the evaporation rate decreases.
Ans 8: When a liquid changes into vapour, it requires heat. This heat is supplied by the surroundings of the
liquid that results in fall in the temperature (or cooling) in the surroundings.

SUBJECT – MATHS CLASS – VIII WORKSHEET– 8
(CUBE ROOTS)(in continuation with previous worksheet…..)
CUBE ROOT: Cube root of a number n is that number which when multiplied by itself three
times gives n as the product
NOTE: Cube root is the inverse operation of finding the cube.
For Example: 23 = 8 cube root of 8 is 2 (i.e. 3 8 = 2)
53 = 125 cube root of 125 is 5 (i.e. 3 125 = 5)
and 73 = 343 cube root of 343 is 7 (i.e. 3 343 = 7)
CUBE ROOT OF A NUMBER BY PRIME FACTORISATION METHOD
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of triplets of equal prime factors.
METHOD TO FIND CUBE ROOT OF A NUMBER:
1. Express the given numbers as the product of primes.
2. Make groups in triplets of the same prime.
3. Taking one factor from each triplet of primes. Multiply them together, the product so
obtained is the required cube root of the given number.
Example 1: Find the cube root of 1728 by prime factorisation.
Solution: Expressing the number 1728 into prime factors, we have
1728 = (2 × 2 × 2 ) × ( 2 × 2 × 2 ) × ( 3 × 3 × 3)
3 1728 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12
Hence, cube root of 1728 is 12.
Example 2: By what smallest number should 55125 be multiplied so that the product
becomes a perfect cube? Also find the cube root of the product.
Solution: Expressing the given number 55125 into its prime factors, we have
55125 = 3 × 3 × (5 × 5 × 5) × 7 × 7
Now as you can see that the prime factor 5 occurs thrice while prime factors 3 and 7 occur twice.
Therefore, the smallest number by which the given number must be multiplied so that the product is
a perfect cube is 3 × 7 i.e. 21
Then product, 55125 × 3 × 7 = (3 × 3 × 3) × (5 × 5 × 5) × (7 × 7 × 7)
Cube root of the product = 3 × 5 × 7 = 105
Example 3: Find the Cube root of (-512)
Solution: As we know that 3 512 = - 3 512
Expressing 512 into prime factors, we have
512 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2)
3 512 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 Therefore, 3 512 = - 3 512 = -8
CUBE ROOT OF PRODUCT OF INTEGERS
We have 3 ab = (ab)1/3
= (a)1/3
× (b)1/3
= 3 a × 3 b 3 ab = 3 a × 3 b
Example 4: Evaluate 3 6427
Solution: Using the above relation, we can write
3 6427 = 3 27 × 3 64
3 6427 = 3 333 × 3 )222()222( = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12
3 6427 = 12

216 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3 × 3) 3 216 = 2 × 3 = 6
Similarly, 729 = (3 × 3 × 3) × (3 × 3 × 3) 3 729 = 3 × 3 = 9
Therefore, 3

Therefore, 3 261.9 = 2.1
Example 7: The volume of a cube is 5832 m3. Find the length of its sides.
Solution: Let the side of a cube be ‘a’ meters
As we know that, Volume of cube = (side)3
5832 = a3 a = 3 5832
a = 3 333333222 = 2 × 3 × 3 = 18
Hence, the length of the side of the cube = 18 m

COMPUTER APPLICATIONS WORKSHEET-7 CLASS-8
CHAPTER- OPERATING SYSTEM AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE – ROLE AND
FUNCTIONS
TOPIC : USER INTERFACE
The user interface is the point of human-computer interaction and communication in a device.
USER INTERFACE
As we know, interface is the point where two systems meet and interact with each other. Similarly in
computing, user interface refers to the hardware-software mechanism by which a user interacts with the
computer to pass instructions to it. The operating system of a computer acts as an interface through
which a user gives commands or instructions to the computer and also receives messages from the
computer. Without the operating system, interaction between a user and a computer is not possible.
TYPES OF USER INTERFACE
CUI (CHARACTER USER INTERFACE)
This interface requires the user to type commands in order to interact with the computer system, this
type of interface is not a good choice for the beginners as they have to memorize a good range of
different commands. Character User Interface is also known as Command Line Interface (CLI). A
command line is a space on the display screen in which commands are typed in by the user.
UNIX and DOS are the popular examples of CUI.
GUI (GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE)
This interface is graphics based and interactive in nature. Different devices, such as mouse, keyboard,
etc. are used to interact with the system. GUI is more user friendly as unlike CUI, it does not require the
user to memorize the commands, instead the user uses different menus and options to communicate with
the system.
Windows is the most popular GUI operating system.
USER
INTERFACE
CUI
(CHARACTER USER INTERFACE)
GUI
(GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE)
ADVANTAGES OF GUI OVER CUI
GUI(GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE) CUI(CHARACTER USER INTERFACE)
GUI is interface is much attractive and appealing. CUI is interface is relatively less appealing.
GUI is easier to learn and more user friendly due to
the presence of various graphical elements like icons,
menu, buttons etc.
CUI is a text based interface and hence is not as user
friendly as GUI
With GUI a user does not have to learn the
complicated commands
A user is required to memorize many commands to
operate and control a CUI.
GUI users have Windows that allow a user to work,
view, control, and manipulate multiple programs and
folders at the same time.
CUI does not offer the same ease and ability to work
with multiple programs at once on one screen.
GUI supports the use of both a mouse and keyboard
to control and navigate through your system.
CUI supports the use of a keyboard only.
In GUI, the user mostly gets immediate visual
feedback of the action he is doing. For example, the
user can see immediately that a file is successfully
moved from one directory to another.
In CUI, there is no obvious feedback. If we consider
the same example, or more additional commands will
have to be issued to confirm the file transfer action.
In GUI multiple tasks can run simultaneously at a
time.
Only one task can be executed at a particular point of
time in CUI
DISADVANTAGES OF GUI OVER CUI
GUI(GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE) CUI(CHARACTER USER INTERFACE)
GUI requires more system resources to load the
various graphical elements, such as icons, fonts, etc.
CUI uses less system resources as compared to GUI
GUI is still a bit slower than CUI as it uses both
mouse and keyboard to navigate and control.
CUI uses only a keyboard for navigation and
operation, often resulting in faster performance.
GUI occupies much larger amount of hard disk space
as compared to CUI.
CUI takes up smaller hard disk space.
GUI requires more RAM to run. A character user interface does not need much RAM
to run.
GUI based operating systems are more expensive as
users have to pay the license fee.
CUI based operating systems are less expensive.
