Question 1
1 / -0

Deforestation does not cause:

A
Desertification

B
Global warming

C
Drought

D
Forest fires
Solution
- Deforestation means cutting down trees. Thus, it gradually leads to desertification of an area.
- Deforestation causes global warming as the atmospheric CO$$_2$$ levels increases because plants are not available to utilize it in photosynthesis.
- It may also cause drought as the water holding capacity of the soil decreases.
- But, deforestation will never cause forest fires. In fact, forest fires are one of the many reasons for deforestation.
So, the correct answer is 'Forest fire'.
Question 2

Biosphere reserves

D
Sancturies
Solution
- Large areas of protected land for conservation of wildlife, plant and animals resources and traditional life of the tribals living in the area are known as biosphere reserves.
- It represents three mutually reinforcing functions- conservation, sustainable development and logistic support for scientific research and education.
So, the correct answer is 'Biosphere reserves'.

If a certain plant species is not found in its wild localities even after repeated search, then it would be listed in which category in the "Red Data Book"?

A
Extinct

B
Endangered

C
Vulnerable

D
Rare

Solution

There are nine categories present in the 'IUCN Red List' system: extinct, extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, least concern, data deficient and not evaluated.
Classification into these categories occurs through a set of quantitative criteria that are based on biological factors that include the rate of decline, population size, the area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation.
A species is listed as extinct in the wild when it is known only to survive in cultivation, captivity or as a naturalized population outside the previous range. A species is presumed extinct in the wild when exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual), throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual.
Question 8
1 / -0

Assertion: Red data book has a record of all animals.

Reason: Endangered species need to be identified for giving them proper protection.

A
Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.

B
Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation for the Assertion.

C
The Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

E
The Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Solution

IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) maintains a 'Red Data Book' or 'Red List', which is a catalogue of plants and animals facing the risk of extinction; that means the species that are endangered. Endangered species need to be identified because only after that the planning for their protection and stabilizing their population can be given a proper direction.
So, the correct answer is option E.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following is correct for a wildlife sanctuary?

A
It is an artificially created protected area for animals.

B
It is a protected area for threatened and endangered wild animals.

C
Capturing and poaching of animals is strictly prohibited here.

D
Both B and C.

Solution

Wildlife sanctuary is a naturally occurring geographic territory within which the wildlife is protected. It provides protection to the threatened or endangered wild animals. This is because capturing and poaching are strictly prohibited in such areas. Only the people living in wildlife sanctuaries are allowed some activities like grazing their livestock, collecting medicinal plants and firewood, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is the option D.
Question 10
1 / -0

Red data book includes details of:

A
Extinct plants and animals

B
Extinct plants only

C
Endangered plants and animals

D
Extinct animals only

Solution

The 'Red Data Book' is the state document which is established for documenting rare and endangered species of animals, plants and fungi as well as some local subspecies, that exist within the territory of the state or country.
This book provides essential information for studies and monitoring programmes on rare and endangered species and their habits.
Thus, the correct answer is option "C".
