Lakes and river water do not freeze suddenly in the winters.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Lakes and river do not suddenly freeze in the winters.
While water is moving, if the temperature drops below zero it doesn't freeze. Fast moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's density behaviour protects them from freezing. When lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. But it does not freeze completely
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which one of the following is not a reason for shortage of usable water?

  1. Over exploitation

  2. Climate change

  3. Deforestation

  4. Decrease in sea level
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Water shortage is the water scarcity that may be caused by altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of freshwater. Sea water cannot be used for daily activities because of the salt content. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

More than 70% of world's fresh water is present in

  1. Ocean

  2. Polar ice

  3. Glaciers and Mountains

  4. Greenland
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Oceans hold about 97% of water, and the Glaciers and polar ice caps hold another 2%. The polar ice caps contain 77% of the world's fresh water supply and another 22% is trapped in the ground which leaves only 3% of the world’s fresh water supply in lakes and rivers.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

The fresh water is continually being renewed and recharged through

  1. Hydrological cycle

  2. Carbon cycle

  3. Nitrogen cycle

  4. Life cycle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The hydrological cycle is a prominent method to rejuvenate the fresh water resources. It involves the evaporation of water into water vapour by the heat of the sun which further condenses into tiny water droplets which fall on the earth as rain. This continuous recycling of water leads to recharging of the water resources.

Which of the following processes is involved in the water cycle?

  1. Evaporation, hibernation and dehydration

  2. Evaporation, condensation and precipitation

  3. Paddling, swimming and drinking

  4. Bathing, sunning and drinking
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The hydrological cycle is a prominent method to rejuvenate the fresh water resources. It involves the evaporation of water into water vapour by the heat of the sun which further condenses into tiny water droplets which fall on earth as rain. Thus, the process like evaporation and condensation and precipitation plays an important role.

So, the correct answer is option B.

What is the origin of energy that drives the water cycle?

  1. Trees

  2. Water

  3. Mountains

  4. Sun
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • The hydrological cycle is a prominent method to rejuvenate the freshwater resources. 
  • It involves the evaporation of water into water vapor by the heat of the sun which further condenses into tiny water droplets that fall on the earth as rain.
  • This continuous recycling of water leads to the recharging of water resources. 
  • The solar radiation plays an important role in the water cycle.

    Hence, option D is correct.

Water cycle is made up of which of the two overlapping cycles?

  1. Surface waters and atmospheric cycles

  2. Oceanic and fresh water cycles

  3. Ground water and atmospheric cycles

  4. Global and smaller cycles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

  • The global water cycle describes the water movement globally. It is a complex pathway that includes the passage of water from the gaseous envelope around the planet called the atmosphere, through the bodies of water on the surface of the earth such as the oceans, glaciers, and lakes, and at the same time passing through the soil and rock layers underground. 
  • Later, the water is returned to the atmosphere. A fundamental characteristic of the hydrologic cycle is that it has no beginning and it has no end. It can be studied by starting at any of the following processes: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, interception, infiltration, percolation, transpiration, runoff, and storage. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following process is not a step involved in water cycle operating in nature?

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Evaporation

  3. Rain fall

  4. Nitrogen metabolism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

  • The process of nitrogen metabolism is not involved in the water cycle. By the process of photosynthesis, plants absorb water from the soil. Through transpiration, they lose water back to the atmosphere through stomata.
  •  By the process of evaporation, water from water bodies is condensed leading to the formation of clouds. 
  • Clouds then shower rainfall that restores the water evaporated from water bodies and also the groundwater levels.

So, option D is the correct answer as all others are a part of the water cycle.
