Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Waldsterben refers to the mass death of the trees wherein, the peripheral parts of the plants are killed and slowly the entire forest population dwindles. It was first reported in Germany in the early 1980s. The atmospheric pollution was the main cause of such deaths of trees. Tropospheric ozone is the secondary pollutant. Nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides are released by the industrial emissions and vehicular exhausts. Acid rain is the chemical reaction between these oxides and water to form their respective acids that precipitate with the rains. The pollutants have severe effects on the trees.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Decline in forests'.

Deforestation leads to the increased percentage of which of the following components of the environment?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Oxygen

  4. None of the above

A Correct answer
Explanation

Deforestation leads to the increased percentage of carbon dioxide components of the environment because trees provide oxygen by taking up carbon dioxide when their number reduces the carbon dioxide was unable to be converted into oxygen. That's why its components increases.

Which of the following helps the soil to prevent the flood?

  1. Forest

  2. Animals

  3. Fishes

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Trees help keep soil in place by holding a large amount of soil with there roots.
  • Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams, raising the water level which leads to floods.
  • Planting trees acts to shield soil from the winds, and the mulch from fallen leaves forms a layer to protect the soil on the "forest" floor.
  • Hence the forest helps the soil to prevent the flood.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Forest'.

The consequences of deforestation is

  1. Global warming

  2. Flood

  3. Extinction of flora and fauna

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Deforestation is when humans remove or clear large areas of forest lands and related ecosystems for non-forest use. These include clearing for farming purposes, ranching, and urban use. In these cases, trees are never re-planted.
  • Plants absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When deforestation takes place it results in an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere which results in global warming.
  • Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams, raising the water level which leads to floods. Hence deforestation results in the flood.
  • Deforestation also results in the extinction of flora and fauna(plants and animals).
  • Hence The consequences of deforestation are  Global warming, Flood and Extinction of flora and fauna.
  • So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.

D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Deforestation(disappearance of the forest) is when humans remove or clear large areas of forest lands and related ecosystems for non-forest use. These include clearing for farming purposes, ranching, and urban use. In these cases, trees are never re-planted.
  • Plants absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When deforestation takes place it results in an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere which results in global warming. Hence results in an increase in temperature. Thus deforestation leads to climate change.
  • Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams i.e soil erosion, raising the water level which leads to floods. Hence deforestation results in the flood.
  • Hence Climate change, Flood and Soil erosion happens if forest disappears.
So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Forest is also called the Lung of Earth because they absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
  • The Amazon rainforest functions as a giant air machine that absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide, and produces oxygen. More than 20 per cent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest. 
  • Hence Forest is a purifier of air.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Air'.
