Question asked in UP PCS in 2017:

  • Give an account of Different layers of the interior of the earth.
  • Examine the plate tectonic theory.
  • Describe the extrusive landforms produced by volcanic activities.

Expected Geography Mains Questions for UPPSC-UP PCS 2020:

  • Big Bank Theory[ V.Imp]
  • Isostasy[ V. Imp] 
  • Penck/Davis/LC King cycle of Erosion [V.Imp]
  • Continental Drift Theory[ V.Imp]
  • Geosyncline theory by Kober [ V.imp]
  • Nebular Hypothesis
  • Seafloor theory
  • Karst/ Arid/Coastal landforms
  • intrusive volcanos landforms

For Your Practices:

  • Analyses the sequential development of landforms in either Karst or Coastal region.
  • Discuss the limitations of the theory of Continental Drift and show how the theory of Plate Tectonics is an improvement over it.
  • Define the concept of isostasy and discuss the postulations of Airy and Pratt.
