In the process of a forestation to check the desertification, which of the following groups of plants would be best used?

  1. Eucalyptus sp, Butea frondosa Ficus religiosa

  2. Delonix regia, Ziziphus sp, Tectona grandis

  3. Prossopis cineraria, Acacia nilotica, Acacia tortilis

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Prosopis cineraria, Acacia nilotica, and Acacia tortilis are hardy drought-resistant tree species commonly used in afforestation projects to check desertification in arid and semi-arid regions. The other options contain species less suited for extreme desert conditions. Thus, option C is the best choice for this purpose.

A forestation programmes call for the introduction of plants form _________________.

  1. Desert regions as these can withstand adverse conditions

  2. Arctic environment because of their short stature and sturdiness

  3. Iso-climatic regions

  4. And environment of maximum heterogene
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Afforestation and ecological restoration programs generally succeed when plants are introduced from iso-climatic regions, meaning areas with similar climatic conditions to the restoration site. Introducing plants from matching climates ensures they are pre-adapted to the temperature, rainfall, and soil conditions of the new location. This minimizes transplant shock and maximizes survival rates.

  3. Using conventional sources of energy

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Recycling is an important part of a sustainability. It helps to preserve the resources available in the society and to reduce the impact of processing these resources on the planet. As a result, human health improves due to fewer pollutants and ecological balance is maintained. This leads to a development without compromising the needs of the future generation. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Conservation of energy leads to

  1. Less pollution

  2. Less cost

  3. Conservation of resources

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Conservation is the process in which the resources are used in a sustainable manner without affecting the environment. When the energy resources are conserved, this will reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants and cause less pollution. The cost required for the treatment of the polluted resources will be reduced. Also, the cost required for the production of new resources for energy will be reduced. The conservation and proper use of the energy will lead to protection of the resources for the future generation. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
