  1. Potable water is safe drinking water

  2. Potable water is very less when compared to the whole water present on earth

  3. Potable water can be used for cooking purposes

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Portable water is used for drinking  water but it is  present in very small amount, about 1% for total water in earth. Earth is covered by 70% water but still we have limed amount of water. We generally use water for fulfilling  basic need like drinking, cooking, washing etc.

So, the correct option is 'All of the above'.

Rain is the ultimate source of water.

evs sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • The ultimate source of water is the water bodies which are present on earth which includes large oceans, seas, rivers, etc. Rain is only the way of water returning to their sources which they have lost by evaporation.
  • This rain is not an ultimate source of water .the ultimate source are the water bodies present on earth example large oceans, rivers etc
  • So, the correct answer is 'False'.

Choose the correct option. The total water

evs sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. In the lakes and rivers of the world remains constant.

  2. Under the ground remains constant.

  3. In the seas and oceans of the world remains constant.

  4. Of the world remains constant.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • The total water of the world remains constant because the water travels through a cycle and the net amount never changes. For example, The water which evaporates from various water bodies like lakes, rivers, ponds, etc form clouds and then they rain down filling up the same water bodies. They also go underground but in the end, they end up in a water body thus completing the water cycle.
  • Hence  The total water of the world remains constant.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Of the world remains constant'.

Which one of the following is not responsible for water shortage ?

evs sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. Rapid growth of industries.

  2. Increasing population

  3. Heavy rainfall

  4. Mismanagement of water resources

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Water is one of the most valuable resources on Earth. Rainwater fills reservoirs that supply drinking water, provide a habitat for fish to live, and nourishes the soil with water necessary for vegetation.
  • Hence Heavy rainfall is not responsible for water shortage.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Heavy rainfall'.
