3. Due to marine influence, the temperature is moderate and in winter, it is warmer than
for its latitude.

4. Precipitation is evenly distributed
throughout the year, varying between 50 cm and 250 cm annually.

Q.2. Which of the following types of vegetation are associated with Mediterranean climatic regions ?

1. Maquis
2. Selvas
3. Chaparral

Q.3.Consider the following statements :

Statement-I : Continental shelves worldwide offer favourable conditions conducive to thriving fish populations.

Statement-II : The shallow zone facilitates sunlight penetration, fostering plankton growth, thereby attracting fish as phytoplankton are considered one of the good sources of food for fishes.

A long standing dream stands fulfilled today..

India Today has published this article on Dowry..

and it is quoting Dipankar Gupta ji (India’s top Sociologist) and Shekhar Dutt (who’s that ???) 🙏🙏

So, this is one of the most doable Sociology optional papers in a long time

Almost everything is from the notes

In fact, UPSC has been kind enough to respect the the most probable topics (which even we shared with students)

While nobody can ever predict how marking will be done

But one thing is certain that grip over static parts will get you closer to a rank 🙏

UPSC Sociology Paper 1 (2025)

Really grateful to god.. everything from our lectures again even in Sociology Paper-2 (2025) 🙏🙏

Trench : Lowest Point

A. Mariana Trench: Challenger Deep

B. Tonga Trench: Horizon Deep

D. Peru–Chile Trench: Brownson Deep

Q.2.Consider the following statements :

1. Movement of water caused by meteorological effects (winds and atmospheric pressure changes) are called surges.

2. The time between the high tide and low tide, when the water level is falling, is called the ebb.

3. The time between the high tide and low tide, when the tide is rising, is called the flow or flood.

4. When the tide is channelled between islands or into bays and estuaries they are called tidal currents.

Q.3.With reference to the effects of ocean currents, consider the following statements :

1. West coasts of the continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes (except close to the equator) are bordered by cool waters.

2. West coasts of the continents in the middle and higher latitudes are bordered by warm waters which cause a distinct marine climate.

3. Warm currents flow parallel to the west coasts of the continents in tropical and subtropical latitudes.

4. The mixing of warm and cold currents help to replenish the oxygen and favour the growth of planktons, the primary food for fish population.
