What is biodiversity?

  1. The variety of life on Earth

  2. The number of different species on Earth

  3. The genetic variation within a species

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life on Earth, including the number of different species, the genetic variation within a species, and the ecosystems in which they live.

Which of the following is a benefit of biodiversity?

  2. Improved Soil Fertility

  3. Enhanced Pollination

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Biodiversity can increase ecosystem resilience, improve soil fertility, enhance pollination, and provide a variety of other benefits.

What is the main threat to biodiversity?

  1. Habitat Loss

  2. Pollution

  3. Climate Change

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Biodiversity is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and other human activities.

How can we protect biodiversity?

  2. Reducing Pollution

  3. Mitigating Climate Change

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We can protect biodiversity by conserving habitats, reducing pollution, mitigating climate change, and taking other steps to reduce human impacts on the environment.

What is the relationship between soil conservation and biodiversity?

  1. Soil Conservation can Improve Biodiversity

  2. Biodiversity can Improve Soil Conservation

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Soil conservation can improve biodiversity by providing habitat for wildlife and reducing erosion, while biodiversity can improve soil conservation by increasing soil organic matter and reducing the risk of erosion.

Which of the following is an example of a sustainable agricultural practice that promotes both soil conservation and biodiversity?

  1. Monocropping

  2. Contour Plowing

  3. Use of Chemical Fertilizers

  4. Crop Rotation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Crop rotation is a sustainable agricultural practice that promotes both soil conservation and biodiversity by diversifying crops, reducing the risk of erosion, and providing habitat for beneficial insects and other wildlife.

Which of the following is a non-renewable resource?

  1. Water

  2. Soil

  3. Minerals

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
