If at high altitudes, birds become rare, the plants likely to disappear are

  1. Pine

  2. Orchids

  3. Oak

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

Pines seeds are mainly small and winged, and are anemophilous generally, which means that the seeds are dispersed by wind. However, some seeds are larger and they have only a vestigial wing and are needed to be dispersed by a bird. Thus, If at high altitudes, birds become rare, the plants likely to disappear are Pine plants. Oaks are not generally found at such high altitudes.

So, the correct answer is 'Pine'.

In which of the following parts of Himalaya the 'tree line' is at the highest altitude?

  1. Estern Himalaya

  2. Kumaun Himalaya

  3. Garhwal Himalaya

  4. Western Himalaya
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The tree line in the Himalayas generally increases in altitude from east to west due to variations in precipitation and temperature, but the Eastern Himalayas are often cited for specific high-altitude vegetation zones; however, this is a complex biogeographical question where the Eastern Himalayas typically host higher biodiversity and distinct altitudinal limits.

The albedo of the earth's surface is only about 4%, yet the combined albedo of the earth and the atmosphere is about 30%. Which set of conditions below best explains why this is so?

  1. High albedo of clouds, low albedo of water

  2. High albedo of clouds, high albedo of water

  3. Low albedo of clouds, low albedo of water

  4. Low albedo of clouds, high albedo of water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Clouds have a very high albedo, reflecting a significant portion of incoming solar radiation back into space, which accounts for the difference between the Earth's surface albedo and the planetary albedo.
