Edaphic factors are related to 

  1. Humidity

  2. Soil texture

  3. Rainfall

  4. Wind velocity
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Various environmental factors can be divided majorly into climatic factors, edaphic factors and biotic factors.
  • The factors which relate to structure and composition of soil are called edaphic factors. Soil composition, organic matter, soil water, soil air and soil organisms are examples of edaphic factors.
  • Humidity, rainfall and wind velocity are climatic factors.
  • Examples of biotic components include animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria.
  • So the correct option is B.

If there was no CO$ _2$ in the earth's atmosphere, the temperature of earth's surface would be 

  1. As such

  2. Less than the present level

  3. Increase from present level

  4. Dependent upon oxygen amount of the environment
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It has the ability to trap sunlight and thus causes the increase in the temperature of Earth surface. If the situation on the Earth was with a lesser amount of $CO _2$, the temperature would have been very little. More pollution will cause the release of more $CO _2$ to the atmosphere causing global warming.
