Rina says it\u2019s already dark in Assam, while Kabir remarks that there is still daylight in Gujarat. The longitudinal difference between Tinsukia and Porbandar is approximately 30\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1.<\/strong> Why does sunset occur earlier in Tinsukia than in Porbandar?<br><strong>Q2.<\/strong> What is the difference in local time between these two cities?<br><strong>Q3.<\/strong> What is the Indian Standard Time (IST) based on?<br><strong>Q4.<\/strong> Why is a standard time necessary in a country like India?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answers:<\/strong><br><strong>A1.<\/strong> Sunset occurs earlier in Tinsukia than in Porbandar because it lies further east. As the Earth rotates from west to east, places in the east experience sunrise and sunset earlier than places in the west.<br><strong>A2.<\/strong> The difference in local time between cities with a 30\u00b0 longitude gap is 2 hours (since 15\u00b0 = 1 hour, 30\u00b0 = 2 hours).<br><strong>A3.<\/strong> IST is based on the 82.5\u00b0E longitude, which passes near Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.<br><strong>A4.<\/strong> A standard time is necessary for uniformity in schedules across the country, such as trains, offices, and TV broadcasts. It prevents confusion that would arise from using local time in every region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Study_Question_2\"><\/span>Case Study Question 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Passage:<\/strong><br>A class is using a globe to locate different cities of the world. The teacher asks students to find the coordinates of Delhi, which lies approximately at 29\u00b0N latitude and 77\u00b0E longitude. The students then compare Delhi\u2019s location with Tokyo (35\u00b0N, 140\u00b0E) and New York (40\u00b0N, 74\u00b0W).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1.<\/strong> What are the coordinates of Delhi? What do they indicate?<br><strong>Q2.<\/strong> Which city lies further north \u2014 Delhi or New York?<br><strong>Q3.<\/strong> Which city lies further east \u2014 Delhi or Tokyo?<br><strong>Q4.<\/strong> How do latitude and longitude help in locating places?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answers:<\/strong><br><strong>A1.<\/strong> Delhi lies at 29\u00b0N latitude and 77\u00b0E longitude. The latitude tells us Delhi is north of the Equator, and the longitude places it east of the Prime Meridian.<br><strong>A2.<\/strong> New York lies further north than Delhi because 40\u00b0N is greater than 29\u00b0N.<br><strong>A3.<\/strong> Tokyo lies further east than Delhi, as 140\u00b0E is more eastward than 77\u00b0E.<br><strong>A4.<\/strong> Latitude and longitude together provide a unique coordinate for every location on Earth, enabling accurate mapping and navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"also-check\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Also_check\"><\/span>Also check<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li class=\"current\"><a href=\"https:\/\/successrouter.com\/blog\/locating-places-on-the-earth-class-6-social-science-case-study-questions\/\">Locating Places on the Earth CBSE Class 6 Social Science Case Study Questions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/successrouter.com\/blog\/cbse-class-6-social-science-case-study-questions\/\">CBSE Class 6 Social Science Case Study Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can visit <a href=\"https:\/\/xamcontent.com\/cbse-case-study-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">xamcontent.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/physicsgurukul.com\/cbse-case-study-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">physicsgurukul.com<\/a> for chapterwise case study question collections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, you will find case study questions for CBSE Class 6 Social Science Chapter 1 Locating Places on the Earth.
