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

Air pollution leads to the greenhouse effects due to the constant emission of poisonous gases from vehicles, households and industries which the atmosphere cannot use. Gases remain trapped inside the atmosphere causing the global temperature to rise. This is called global warming. This has resulted in holes in the ozone layer due to which harmful rays of the sun are allowed to enter the earth's atmosphere causing skin cancer and various other ailments.

    C Correct answer
    Explanation

    The amount of water vapor in the air is known as humidity. It can make hot temperatures even more unbearable than they already are. It affects both weather as well as climate. It also affects global climate change. Both low humidity as well as high humidity is harmful for us. Humidity is of two types:- Absolute humidity and Relative humidity.

    1. Water cycle

    2. Tides

    4. Rain water
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation

    The process by which water continually changes its form and circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land is known as water cycle. In the water cycle, water from oceans, lakes, swamps, rivers, plants can turn into water vapour. Water vapour condenses into millions of tiny droplets that form clouds. Clouds lose their water as rain or snow, which is called precipitation. Precipitation is either absorbed into the ground or runs off into rivers. Plants take up the water that was absorbed into the ground. Plants lose water from their surfaces as vapour that goes back into the atmosphere. Water that runs off into rivers flows into ponds, lakes, or oceans where it evaporates back into the atmosphere. This cycle continues.

    B Correct answer
    Explanation
    Precipitation is part of the water cycle. In the water cycle, water from oceans, lakes, swamps, rivers, plants can turn into water vapor. Water vapor condenses into millions of tiny droplets that form clouds. Clouds lose their water as rain or snow, which is called precipitation. When precipitation comes down to the earth in the liquid form, it is called rain. People rely on precipitation for freshwater to drink, bath, and irrigate crops for food.

    E Correct answer
    Explanation

    Vernal pools, also called vernal ponds or ephemeral pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals. 

    A  vernal pool basin will experience inundation from rain/precipitation, followed by desiccation from evapotranspiration. These conditions are commonly associated with a Mediterranean climate. Most pools are dry for at least part of the year and fill with the winter rains, spring snowmelts, and rising water tables. Some pools may remain at least partially filled with water over the course of a year or more, but all vernal pools dry up periodically.
