If water pollution continues at its present rate, it will eventually

  1. Prevent precipitation

  2. Stop the water cycle

  3. Make oxygen molecules unavailable to aquatic life

  4. Make nitrates unavailable to aquatic life
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Water pollution is the condition in which there is an increase in the concentration of the undesirable compounds in the water resources. The pollutants are the organic compounds. The microbes use up the oxygen which is present in the water bodies for the degradation of the organic matter in the pollutants. This lowers the amount of oxygen which is available for the aquatic plants and animals.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following are the ways of conserving and preserving the earth's natural resources?

  1. Recycling wastes

  2. Using alternative energy sources

  3. Reducing the wastage of non-renewable natural resources

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

Preservation refers to the measures taken to keep living things in their original balanced state. Conservation refers to the careful and systematic use of natural resources without causing harm and death to living organisms in the environment. Recycling of waste, reducing the use of non-renewable natural resources and alternative source are the measures to maintain the natural resources without harming the resources and environment. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Biogas generation is mainly based on the principle of

  1. Fermentation

  2. Degradation

  3. Putrification

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Biogas is a flammable gas that is produced from the fermentation or degradation of biomass in biogas plants. Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown (degradation) of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. whereas the breakdown of organic matter, usually by bacterial action, resulting in the formation of other substances of less complex constitution with the evolution of ammonia is known as putrification.

The use of CFL can save .......... electricity per year.

  1. 1000 megawatt

  2. 6000 megawatts

  3. 100 megawatt

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

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are the bulbs which are generally used to save the electricity. These bulbs use and convert only 1/5$^{th}$ of the electricity into light. There is consumption of less electricity. This helps in reduction of about 6000 megawatts of electricity per year. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Which one of the following is an example of non-renewable resources?

  1. Water

  2. Wind

  3. Vegetation

  4. Coal and minerals
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Nonrenewable resources are resources that are not easily replenished by the environment. Thus coal and  minerals are examples of non renewable resources.

CFL is

  1. Chlorofluoro lamp

  2. Compact fluorescent lamp

  3. Compact fluorescent light

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

CFL is compact fluorescent light. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are used in place of incandescent bulb because they use about 1/7$^{th}$ of the power used by the incandescent bulb. Hence, they are highly efficient in saving electricity.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
