What is density of water?

  1. 987kg/m3

  2. 997kg/m3

  3. 897kg/m3

  4. 797kg/m3
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The density of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure and 4 degrees Celsius is approximately 1000 kg/m3. Among the provided choices, 997 kg/m3 is the closest scientific approximation for water at room temperature.

What makes sea water not to be safe for drinking?

  1. High salt concentration

  2. High minerals

  3. Marine water pollution

  4. Density of saewater
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sea water is unsafe for drinking primarily because of its high salt concentration (approximately 3.5%). Drinking seawater would lead to dehydration as the body requires more water to excrete the excess salt than the water consumed. While other factors like pollution may exist, salinity is the primary reason.

Which of these methods does not result in conservation of water?

  1. Using drip irrigation

  2. Recycling of water

  3. Cutting vegetation so that less water is lost by transpiration

  4. Planting more trees
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Conservation is the process in which the resources are used in a sustainable manner without affecting the environment. The water resources can be conserved by using drip irrigation which reduces the wastage of water. Recycling of water will help allow usage of the waste water for non-drinking purposes. Afforestation includes planting of more trees increasing the amount of rainfall. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

_______ is one of the major source of contamination of ground water.

  1. Rain

  2. Ponds

  3. Industrial effluent

  4. Chemical fertilizers
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Chemical fertilizers are the major source of contamination of ground water. Chemical fertilizers that is soluble in water gets dissolved in rain water or irrigated water and seeps inside the ground contaminating the groundwater.

How is water conserved when evaporation is reduced?

  1. Low temperature

  2. Low wind speed

  3. Both (A) and (B)

  4. High temperature
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation is a physical process influenced by environmental conditions. Lower temperatures reduce the kinetic energy of water molecules, and lower wind speeds reduce the rate at which water vapor is carried away from the surface.

Which one is not a beneficial effect of water conservation?

  1. Reduction in water loss

  2. Reduction in water fall

  3. Reduction in waste of resources

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

Water conservation aims to reduce waste and loss. A reduction in 'water fall' (precipitation) is a natural climatic event, not a beneficial effect of human water conservation efforts.
