Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another. This law is known as:

  1. potential energy

  2. kinetic energy

  3. conservation principle

  4. conservation of energy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes. If one adds up all the forms of energy that were released in the explosion, such as the kinetic energy of the pieces, as well as heat and sound, one will get the exact decrease of chemical energy in the combustion of the dynamite.
 Classically, conservation of energy was distinct from conservation of mass; however, special relativity showed that mass could be converted to energy and vice versa by E = mc2, and science now takes the view that mass–energy is conserved.

Which one of the following is not an ideal solution for tackling water shortages?

  1. Controlling population growth

  2. Conserving water in irrigation

  3. Controlling water pollution

  4. Drilling large number of deep bore wells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Drilling large number of deep bore wells,

It is not an ideal solution for tackling water shortage.
Rain water harvesting and ground water recharging is the need of the hour. Roof top rain water harvesting are being taken up in urban areas. In roof top harvesting u r to collect rain water and  using a filter clean it, then send it to the aquifer through a tube well or dug well. In open field u can recharge ground water storing the rain water in numerous tanks, ponds, contour  trench etc disallowing the rain water to drain to river and finally to ocean. If  tube wells are drilled inside the tanks and  ponds, more rain water can be recharged into the aquifer.

Floods can be prevented by:

  1. afforestation

  2. cutting the forests

  3. filling the land

  4. removing the top soil


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Afforestation means planting trees. 

As we know, the roots of the trees help to hold soil layer firmly.

It is evident that it helps not to make soil loose and prevents erosion. Thus, by planting more and more trees, the top layer of soil becomes less prone to erosion by wind, water or anything likely. 

Thus, it prevents erosion and helps in soil conservation.

Afforestation involves the planting of trees in a drainage basin to increase interception and storage while reducing surface runoff. This reduces a rivers discharge and so makes it less likely to flood.

Option A is correct.

Which of the following is a recently originated problem of environment?

  1. Global warming

  2. Ozone depletion

  3. Greenhouse effect

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system  and its related effects.

Ozone layer depletion is simply the wearing out (reduction) of the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Unlike pollution, which has many types and causes, ozone depletion has been pinned down to one major human activity. 

Depletion begins when CFC's get into the stratosphere.

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

Hence the option D is correct.

Coal reserves may last for a few hundred years but at the present rate of consumption, the present coal reserves might run out of coal sooner than expected.


Hence the given statement is false.

Excessive burning of fossil fuels is a major cause of  Global Warming.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Excessive burning of fossil fuels is a major cause of "GLOBAL WARMING".

Explanation :
Carbon dioxide (CO2), which, while not  the most potent greenhouse gas, 

is nevertheless the main driver of the greenhouse effect. When fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - are burnt they release CO2 into the atmosphere. Because of this, the layer of greenhouse gas is getting thicker, which is, in turn, making the Earth warmer. Thus the ongoing unlimited burning of fossil fuels is the cause of climate change and global warming.

What are the effects of natural resource depletion?

  1. reduce the quality of safe and accessible drinking water.

  2. introduces harmful toxins into waterways and the atmosphere.

  3. cause soil contamination.

  4. All of above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Depletion of natural resources like water, fuel-air and soil produces competition among living organisms for the remaining portions and diminishes the quality of available resources. Some of the human activities reduce the quality of drinking water. Overuse of fossil fuels reduces their availability and also introduces harmful toxins into the water and the atmosphere. Deforestation and agricultural activities exacerbate erosion and cause soil contamination, which impairs the survival capacity of plants, and makes surrounding areas prone to flooding and environmental disasters.
