(i)Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma ( or lava). As hot, molten rock rises to the surface, it undergoes changes in temperature and pressure that cause it to cool, solidify, and crystallize.
(ii)Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
(iii)Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet.
(2b)
(i)Technology availability and suitability.

(i) Irrigation equipment is expensive to install
(ii) Inadequate water supply for irrigation in certain areas and periods
(iii) Maintenance cost is high
(iv) Inadequate technical know
(v) The high relative humidity on irrigated land favours the growth of disease-causing organisms
(vi) Salts that are toxic to crops could be introduced to the farmland through irrigation water
==================================
(6a)
(i) scarcity of labourers leading to high labour cost and decrease in export and hence Gross Domestic Product.
(ii) high cost of labour will lead to high cost of production
(iii) decreased food and cash crop production
(iv) decreased animal production and poor adoption of agricultural innovations
(6b)
(i)boost agricultural production through the construction of farm service centres for efficient distribution of agricultural inputs
(ii) construction of rural infrastructures such as feeder roads and earth dams
(iii) Increased level of extension contact with farmer.
(iv) bring agricultural services closer to the people in rural areas.
(v) source and make available farm inputs to farmers
(vi) helps in the reclamation of degraded agricultural lands.
(6c)

(ii)sunflower meal
(iii)cottonseed cake
(iv)groundnut cake.
=====================================
(7)
(i) They advice the Government officials on matters that concern the customs and traditions of the people, etc.
(ii) As a custodian of the people’s customs and traditions, they help to preserve the customs and traditions of the people.
(iii) They mobilize people in their community to participate in government at various levels.
(iv) They help to maintain law and order in their communities. They try and punish law offenders and settle disputes etc.

1. *Geographical Location*
There are two aspects of the influence of geography on foreign policy – the geographical environment of the state and the political importance of its geographical location. The state’s geographical environment refers to its size, area, and climate.
The ideal geographical environments of the state are:
The size of the state will be such that it will help the residents to maintain a decent living standard.
The climate needs to be favorable to hard labor.
Terrain needs to be supportive of national resistance. Mountains, Rivers, sea-borne countries enjoy the advantage of being free from foreign invasions for natural reasons.
The shape of the state needs to be such that one can easily fast during the war period.
In nature, it is not possible to achieve the favorable geographical environment of a country. The geographical location of each country is particularly influenced by its foreign policy. Its insular position in Great Britain helps spread connectivity with other countries. Again the United States has succeeded in pursuing a policy of separation from Europe for its geographical location.
2. *Population*
The population is considered one of the important determinants of foreign policy. For a long time, the population has been regarded as an important criterion for measuring state power. In the past war, the massive infantry of the People’s Republic of China helped to resist the US forces.
The relation between population and foreign policy gains importance in terms of the capability of a state. The importance of the population to determine the policies of solidarity among all parts of the citizens, the development of political organizations, the quality of the public, the promotion of political consciousness, the spread of the political participation, the pressure of public opinion, the type of government etc.
However, its quality is particularly important with respect to population size. Citizens’ skills, abilities, and quality money help to spread national influence.
3. *History*
Each nation’s history is influenced by its foreign policy. The outline of the history of each nation is formed through the special circumstances of the chips and events. It is possible to identify its identity.
The geographical boundaries of each nation are determined through the constraints of historical events. Through the history of the development of a nation, many basic features of foreign policy are developed. In light of historical experience, each nation forms the basis of its foreign policy.
4. *Economic Resources*
The nature and style of foreign policy is largely determined by economic resources. The economic strength of a state is an indicator of its affordability. The effect of that ability is reflected in relations with other states.
The main objective of the economic structure is to utilize the country’s land, labor, capital and enterprises for production. Distribution of economic wealth produced, consumption, public welfare, improvement of living standard of the citizens etc. are also included in the economic activities of the state.
A country rich in natural resources can easily achieve its economic prosperity. For example, mineral oil has become one of the most important political hubs of Middle East international politics.
Natural resources and industrial development are the basis of the international status of a country. In the present world, each country’s resistance depends on the rate of industrialization and natural resources.
5. *Ideology*
Each state-system is governed by specific political ideologies. The values, policies, programs, objectives, and goals of a state are governed by that ideology. Ideology does not simply determine the internal policies and values of a state; is governed by foreign policy and those ideologies. So it can be considered one of the most important determinants of foreign policy.
For example, socialist states are convinced of the principles of international peace, friendship, mutual cooperation, refusal to interfere in the internal affairs of other states, etc.
In the end, capitalism maintains its existence through exploitation and oppression of home and abroad. It is for this reason that capitalist countries follow aggressive policies in economic, political, and cultural fields.
6. *Efficiency of Government and Nature of Political Leadership
Government leaders are the main source and strength of foreign policy*.
The role of the state at any given time and the type of foreign policy to be followed depends on the quality of the decision makers.
On the basis of practical experience, it can be said that foreign policy cannot be separated from the nature of government leadership under any circumstances.
Foreign policy decisions are bound to be influenced by the leadership of the government, including psychological structure, political experience and foresight, personality, realization of world-politics. For this reason, it is possible to notice differences in political issues between leaders of the same political party.
