  2. Construction of canals

  3. Afforestation

  4. Construction of Dams
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

To check the expansion of Thar desert Afforestation methods is expected to yield the best results. It reduces the pollution level. It minimizes the effect of drought and Global Warming. It helps the factories to have a proper use of plant items without leaving a bad effect in the society and environment. It minimizes the effect of soil erosion.

Multiple choice commercial studies forest : our life conservation of forest and wildlife wildlife forest - the dwelling place of animals deforestation and conservation

Floods can be prevented by _________

  1. Afforestation

  2. Cutting of forests

  3. Tilling the land

  4. Removing the top soil
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Afforestation restores ecological balance of all ecosystems, it maintains biological diversity, and act as catchments for soil and water. Thus preventing floods  and conserving soil cover.

Multiple choice commercial studies striving for a better environment soil and its conservations soil pollution-control protecting our environment

The check-dams stop the rainwater from ______

  1. Flowing away

  2. Reduce soil erosion

  3. Above both options

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Check-dams are built to slow down the flow of water, which helps in both water conservation (preventing it from flowing away) and reducing soil erosion by decreasing the velocity of runoff.

Multiple choice evs let's play with water law of constant proportion - i law of constant proportion law of definite proportions

Which of the following involves evaporation

  1. drying up of mopped floor

  2. Drying of wet hair after some time

  3. drying up of water bodies like lakes and rivers

  4. A,B,C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation is the process of a liquid converts into gaseous phase.In all these process liquid moles are evaporated into gaseous phase.So all the above processes involves evoporation.
Hence option D is correct.

Multiple choice biology soil : our life soil properties soil - properties basics of soil pollution

Percolation tanks helps to

  1. Supply water for agriculture

  2. Increase ground water level

  3. Preserve rain water

  4. Prevent overflow of water from tanks during rainy season
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Percolation tanks are artificial water harvesting structures designed specifically to collect surface runoff and allow it to percolate into the ground. This process recharges the underlying aquifers and helps to increase the overall groundwater level.

Multiple choice biology soil : our life soil properties soil - properties basics of soil pollution

Percolation tank is constructed to impound 

  1. Runoff water

  2. Water vapour

  3. Purified water

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

There are different systems constructed to increase the amount of water which is present in the groundwater reserves. The percolation tanks are constructed in the land which is highly permeable. The water from the runoff which gets collected in the tank is then percolated in the ground. This system helps to recharge the groundwater system. These are one of the methods which are used for the conservation of the water resources.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following makes the Venaparthy an area free from water crisis?

  1. Percolation tank

  2. Green mufflers

  3. Afforestation

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Venaparthy is a small village which is situated in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The village is known for being an area which is free from the problems due to groundwater pollution and water crisis. There are percolation tanks which are set up in the village and the nearby locales. These percolation tanks help in the collection of water in the earthen dams and recharge the groundwater in these regions. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Multiple choice biology soil : our life soil properties soil - properties basics of soil pollution

Percolation tank is 

  1. Earthen dam

  2. Concrete dam

  3. Woody dam

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The percolation tanks are constructed on the land which is highly permeable. The constructs may be performed using earthen materials which will allow the water to pass through it. This type of tank is also called as the earthen percolation tank. The water which gets collected in the tank is then percolated in the ground. This system helps to recharge the groundwater system. 

The correct answer is option A.
