Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Global warming is caused by increased atmospheric concentration of $CO _2$ and other green house gases. As greenhouse gases absorbs the solar energy when radiation is reflected back to the atmosphere from earth's surface and increase the earth's temperature. Eutrophication refers to the presence of excess organic compounds in water. Depletion of the ozone layer is caused by the excess release of chlorine and bromine-containing the chemical in the atmosphere. Acid rain is the result of increased sulphur and nitrogen oxide levels in the atmosphere. Slow metabolism and excretion of pesticides causes their accumulation in fat tissues of organisms and is referred to as biomagnifications. The correct answer is A.

If there is no $CO _2$ in the atmosphere, what would happen to the earth's temperature?

  1. It would, be less than the present.

  2. It would,be the same as present.

  3. It would be higher than the present.

  4. It depends on the $0 _2$ content of air.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When carbon dioxide and other air pollutants are collected in the atmosphere they absorb sunlight that has bounced from the earth’s surface. This leads to an increase in the earth's average surface temperature and is called global warming. When there is no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the temperature of the Earth's surface will be less than the present temperature. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Which of the following would happen in the absence of greenhouse effect in the atmosphere?

  1. Pollution will increase.

  2. The earth's surface temperature will decrease.

  3. The earth's surface temperature remains the same.

  4. The depleted ozone layer will increase the earth's temperature.

Assertion :Presently, the global atmosphere is warming up.

Reason :The depletion of stratospheric ozone layer has resulted in increase in ultraviolet radiations reaching the earth. 

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The warming up of global atmosphere present day is due to the increase in green house effect. Green house effect (GHE) describe the roles of water vapour, $CO _2$ and other trace gases in keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be otherwise.These radiatively active gases are relatively transparent to incoming shortwave radiation (visible spectrum), but are relatively opaque to outgoing reradiating (infrared rays) longwave radiation. The latter radiation, which would otherwise escape to space, is trapped by these gases within the lower levels of the atmosphere. The subsequent reradiation of some of the energy back to the surface maintains surface temperature higher than they would be if the gases were absent (without the green house effect the Earth's average global temperature would be 18 degree celsius rather than the present 15 degree celsius). There is concern that increasing concentration of the green house gases including CO2, CH4, and man made chlorofluorocarbons (CFCS), may enhance the green house effect and cause global warming. Ozone layer present in the stratosphere is depleted by the aerosols and chloroflurocarbons. Ozone protects the earth from high energy ultra violet radiation. So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion'

  1. Reducing the greenhouse gas emission by limiting the use of fossil fuels.

  2. Increase the vegetation cover particularly the forest for photosynthetic utilization of CO$ _2$.

  3. Minimizing the use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture for reducing N$ _2$O emission.

  4. Increasing the use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosol spray cans.

  5. Developing substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions.
  •  But to fully address the threat of global warming, we must demand action and support and implement a comprehensive set of climate solutions:
  •  Expand the use of renewable energy and transform our energy system to one that is cleaner and less dependent on coal and other fossil fuels.
  •  Increase vehicle fuel efficiency and support other solutions Place limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit. 
  • Build a clean energy economy by investing in efficient energy technologies, industries, and approaches. 
  • Reduce tropical deforestation and its associated global warming emissions.
  • Hence, Increasing the use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosol spray cans is not a correct approach to reduce global warming. 
  • So, the correct answer is 'Increasing the use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosol spray cans'.

Which of the following is caused by an increase in $\displaystyle { CO } _{ 2 }$ concentration in the atmosphere?

  1. Global warming

  2. Eutrophication of lakes

  3. Depletion of the ozone layer

  4. Magnification in the food chain

  5. Acid rain


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Global warming is caused by increased concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere. Increased organic matter in lakes causes eutrophication. Ozone depletion is mainly related to the use of CFC-based products. Acid rain is the result of increased sulphur and nitrogen oxide levels in the atmosphere. Increased use of pesticides causing the death of predators will cause accumulation of nonbiodegradable compounds in the food chain. Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Ultra-violet light causes

  1. Formation of pyrimidines dimers

  2. Sticky metaphases

  3. Photodynamic action

  4. Destruction of hydrogen bonds between complementary DNA strands


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Ultra-violet radiations are the potent mutagens as they are capable of distorting the structure of the DNA. The UV radiations cause the adjacent pyrimidines residues (thymine and cytosine) to form hydrogen bonds with each other rather than the corresponding purine residues. Generally, the thymine dimers are seen as immediate effects of the UV radiations. Due to this type of mutation, the errors in replication of DNA are frequent to observe. The breaking of hydrogen bonds between the two complementary DNA strands occurs due to increase in temperature. This is not considered as a mutation because when normal conditions arrive the hydrogen bonds can be formed again.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Formation of pyrimidines dimers'.

Which is not a proper strategy to reduce global warming?

  1. Developing substitutes of chlorofluorocarbons.

  2. Increasing use of air conditioners, refrigeration units and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosol spray cans.

  3. Minimising use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture for reducing nitrogen oxide emission.

  4. Increase vegetation cover, particularly forest, for photosynthetic utilisation of $CO _2$.

  5. Reducing green house gas emission by limiting use of fossil fuels.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Global warming refers to the overall increase in the tropospheric temperature reflected on the earth's surface. Developing substitutes for chloroform will not allow the build of chloroforms in the atmosphere. Minimal use of nitrogen fertilizers will not allow nitrogen oxides to cause secondary pollutants. Increase in vegetation like forests will make sure that carbon dioxide is used and so it will not cause the greenhouse effect. Limited use of fossil fuels will not add carbon dioxide, methane, oxides of sulphur etc and thus environment can be saved from their deleterious effects. On the other hand increase use of ACs, refrigerators, production of plastic forms and aerosol spray can propellants are harmful to the environment in a great deal because they cause ozone hole as well as global warming.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Increasing use of air conditioners, refrigeration units and the production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosol spray cans.'

  3. increase with the increasing in pressure

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The world average temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. When the global temperature changes, the changes in climate are not expected to be uniform across the Earth. In particular, land areas change more quickly than oceans, and northern high latitudes change more quickly than the tropics, and the margins of boime regions change faster than do their cores.

The ozonosphere absorbs the

  1. Visible light

  2. Microwaves

  3. Infrared radiation

  4. Ultraviolet radiations


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The ozonosphere contains a layer of ozone gas which absorbs ultraviolet radiations and thus prevent us from harmful effects like skin disease.

When we are near to ice, why do we feel cold?

  1. Because our body temperature is higher than the surrounding temerature

  2. Because there is ice near to us

  3. Because we wear warm cloth

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When we are nearer to the ice, our body temperature is higher than the surrounding temperature. So heat flows from out body to the surrounding resulting in lowering the body temperature. Thus we feel cold when being nearer to the ice.

The global warming has resulted in

  1. the increase in yield of crops

  2. the decrease in sea levels

  3. the decrease in human deaths

  4. the increase in sea levels


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Two major mechanisms are causing sea level to rise.
First, shrinking land ice, such as mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets, is releasing water into the oceans.
Second, as ocean temperatures rise, the warmer water expands. 
The warming of the atmosphere caused by increases in greenhouse gases is melting glaciers and causing ocean water to warm and expand thermally. Both effects increase the volume of the ocean, raising its surface level.
Thus Option D is correct.

Why do we feel cold during winter?

  1. Because our body temperature is higher than surrounding temperature

  2. Because our body temperature is lower than surrounding temperature

  3. It doesn't depend on our body temerature

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

During winter, our body temperature is higher than the surrounding temperature. So heat flows from out body to the surrounding resulting in lowering the body temperature. Thus we feel cold during winter.

What causes wind currents across the globe?

  1. The gravitational pull of the earth

  2. Change in season

  3. Uneven heating of earth surface

  4. Gravitational pull of the sun.


Correct Option: A

When we use blanket why do we feel warm?

  1. Because the blanket is warm

  2. Because the blanket doesn't allow air to enter

  3. Because our body is warm

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cold air tries to carry body heat away. Blankets form a barrier between the body and cold air. Hence heat doesn't transfer through the blankets as air will not flow through the blankets.

Without green house effect, the average temperature of earths surface would have been :

  1. $-18^{\circ}C$

  2. $33^{\circ}C$

  3. $0^{\circ}C$

  4. $15^{\circ}C$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If an ideal thermally conductive black body were the same distance from the Sun as the Earth is, it would have a temperature of about 5.3 C. However, since the Earth reflects about 30% of the incoming sunlight, this idealized planet's effective temperature (the temperature of a black body that would emit the same amount of radiation) would be about 18 C. The surface temperature of this hypothetical planet is 33 C below Earth's actual surface temperature of approximately 14 C. The mechanism that produces this difference between the actual surface temperature and the effective temperature is due to the atmosphere and is known as the greenhouse effect.
Thus Option A is correct.

How will global warming effect the sea level.

  1. rise

Which of the following is true regarding future effects of global warming?
A. Hurricanes will get worse and hurricanes like katrina will be common on the coastal area.
B. In the next century the sea level is predicted to rise between $9$ and $88$ cm.
C. The global temperature would increase by $2.5$ to $10$ degrees F.

  1. Only A

  2. Only B

  3. Only A and B

  4. All A , B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

hurricane is a large rotating storm with high speed winds that forms over warm waters in tropical areas. According to 2006 studies by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the Earth's climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Hurricanes will get worse and hurricanes like katrina will be common on the coastal area. It is predicted that the global temperature would increase by $2.5^0F$ to $10^0F$. 

Earth’s warming climate is causing sea levels to rise in two different ways. First, warmer air temperatures are causing glaciers and land ice to melt. As the melt water flows into the ocean, the increase in the total amount of water causes the sea level to rise. Second, as ocean water warms, it expands—pushing water farther up along our shores and resulting in physical changes to ocean heat and temperature. In the next century the sea level is predicted to rise between $9\,cm$ to $88\,cm$.

Which of the following may be the cause of greenhouse effect?

  1. Burning of fossil fuel like coal in the industries for producing electricity.

  2. Burning of fossil fuel leads to high emissions of carbon di-oxide gas.

  3. Nitrous oxide, also a green house gas is produced during nylon and nitric acid production.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour $(H _2O)$, carbon dioxide $(CO _2)$, methane $CH _4)$, nitrous oxide $(N _2O)$ and ozone $(O _3)$. 

Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions. Nitrous oxide is emitted during nylon and nytric acid production, agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

What are the consequences of the Global Warming?

  1. Decrease in Earth's temperature have resulted in Ice Ages

  2. A rise in sea level

  3. Stronger storms and where they occur, a change in where foods can be produced, and stress on plants that will not have had enough time to adapt

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change could result in global, large-scale changes in natural and social systems.Examples include the possibility for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to slow- or shutdown, which in the instance of a shutdown would change weather in Europe and North America considerably, ocean acidification caused by increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, and the long-term melting of ice sheets, which contributes to sea level rise.
