Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Forests are reservoirs of wildlife.

A
True

B
False

C
Nither

D
Either

Solution

Forests are reservoirs of wildlife as they provide shelter as well as food to animals. They maintain optimum climatic conditions for the survival of animals. Hence, animals are conserved in wildlife sanctuaries in their natural habitat. Forests also help in raining that make the water available to animals.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
Question 2
1 / -0

What are the effects of deforestation?

A
Increase in the level of CO$$_2$$ in the atmosphere

B
Barren land

C
Both A and B

D
Fertile land

Solution

Deforestation is the cutting down of trees of the forest. Due to this, there is a decrease in the number of trees that can consume CO$$_2$$ and give out oxygen through photosynthesis. Thus, there is an increase in atmospheric CO$$_2$$ levels.
The roots of the trees hold soil particles together. Without the trees, the fertile topsoil can be washed by water and wind, leaving the infertile/barren land behind. Vegetation is not possible on barren land.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Question 3
1 / -0

Check dams are built along seasonal flooded gullies for water harvesting.

A
True

B
False

C
Nither

D
Either

Solution

A check dam is a small dam which may be temporarily or permanently constructed across a gully, a draining ditch or channel so as to slow down the speed of concentrated flows. These dams are made for harvesting water and preserving natural water of rain. Hence, these dams are made in seasonal times generally when there is heavy rainfall. The stored water then can be used for various purposes.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of these can be used as an alternative source of energy to large dams?

A
Solar energy

B
Wind energy

C
Biogas energy

D
All of these
Solution
Dams play an important role in the production of hydroelectric power. Water stored in huge reservoirs is used to rotate the blades of turbines that generate electricity.
The construction of dams is expensive and therefore not economic. For setting up dams, large space is required which necessitates the removal of trees. Moreover, the reservoirs of dams emit greenhouse gases like methane. They also disrupt the river ecosystem and affect the species.
Many alternative sources of energy are there for electricity generation other than the hydroelectric power plants on dams. Some of which are solar energy, wind energy, and biogas energy.
So, the correct answer is option D.
Question 5
1 / -0

Chipko Andolan (Movement) which was started in 1980 in Garhwal/Himalayas (Gopeshwar) near Alkananda river was for the first time initiated by

A
Chander Prasad Bhat

B
Sunder Lal Bhaugauna

C
Baba Amte

D
Vinova Bhave

Solution

Sundar Lal Bahuguna led the Chipko Movement to protect the trees near their village from felling.
Thus, the correct option is B.
Question 6
1 / -0

Sustainable development does not consider the view points of stakeholders.

A
True

B
False

C
Nither

D
Either

Solution

Sustainable development considers the view points of stakeholders as if only one group has accessibility to all resources, they will over-exploit it.
Thus, the the given statement is False.
Question 7
1 / -0

The Narmada Bacho Andolan was started against which one of the dams?

A
Bhakra Bam

B
Sardar Sarovar Dam

C
Hirakunda Dam

D
Kosi Dam

Solution

Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) is a social movement consisting of adivasis, farmers, environmentalists, and human rights activists against a number of large dams being built across the Narmada river. The river flows through the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in India. Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat is one of the biggest dams on the river and was one of the first focal points of the movement.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Question 8
1 / -0

Khadins, Ahars and Kattas are ancient structures that are examples of water harvesting.

A
True

B
False

C
Nither

D
Either

Solution

Khadins, Ahars and Kattas are some of the ancient water harvesting structures which include water conveyance, are still in use today.
Thus, the given statement is True.
Question 9
1 / -0

Sustainable development means planned growth with minimum damage to the environment.

A
True

B
False

C
Nither

D
Either

Solution

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Thus, the given statement is True.
Question 10
1 / -0

On the basis of following features identify correct option.
I. Conventional source of energy
II. Non-conventional source of energy

A
They are pollution free sources of energy

B
They are inexhaustible

C
Only II includes geothermal energy

D
Only I is obtained from the nature.
Solution
- A conventional source of energy is a natural resource which cannot be produced, grown, generated or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. Once depleted these is no more available for future needs. Also considered as non-renewable resources as these are consumed much faster than nature can create them. They can produce pollution when utilised.
- Non-conventional energy sources are those energy sources which are renewable such as solar energy, wind energy, ocean energy (tidal energy, wave energy, ocean thermal energy), geothermal energy, nuclear energy, etc. These when consumed usually do not generate air pollution but may cause soil and water pollution and are freely available in the nature.
So, the correct answer is option C.
