Question 2611. Official date of Earth Day is on _________
  1.    April 22
  2.    March 21
  3.    May 22
  4.    June 05
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> April 22
Official date of Earth Day is on April 22.
Question 2612. The Chipko movement is started by
  1.    Engler
  2.    Sunderlal Bahuguna
  3.    Medha Padkar
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sunderlal Bahuguna
The Chipko movement is started by Sunderlal Bahuguna.
Question 2613. The change of state of ice into water vapour is known as:
  1.    Deposition
  2.    Sublimation
  3.    Melting
  4.    Condensation
  5.    Crystallization
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sublimation
When ice turns directly into water vapor without first transitioning into a liquid, it is referred to as "sublimation." In fact, any solid that turns into a vapor without going through the liquid phase can be said to sublime or "sublimate."
Question 2614. Habitat loss and fragmentation, over exploitation, alien species invasion and co extinction are causes for
  1.    Population exploitation
  2.    Pollution
  3.    Migration
  4.    Ecological succession
  5.    Biodiversity loss
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Biodiversity loss
Biodiversity loss leads to the extinction of species. Factors such as habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation, alien species invasion and co-extinction are causes for such losses. When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct.
Question 2615. Drinking of fluoride containing water results :
  1.    fluorosis
  2.    chlorosis
  3.    minemata
  4.    methaemoglobinema
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> fluorosis
Drinking of fluoride containing water results to fluorosis.
Question 2616. The amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth is called
  1.    Solar flux
  2.    reflected light
  3.    minerals
  4.    solvents
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Solar flux
The amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth is called Solar flux.
Question 2617. The study of minerals is called
  1.    geology
  2.    mineralogy
  3.    mining science
  4.    metallurgy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> mineralogy
Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of the chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals and mineralized artifacts.
Question 2618. The lag in daily temperature refers to the time lag between the:
  1.    Time of maximum solar radiation and the time of maximum temperature
  2.    Time of minimum temperature and the time of maximum solar radiation
  3.    Minimum and maximum temperature for a day
  4.    Minimum and maximum solar energy received at the surface for a given day
  5.    Sunrise and sunset
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Time of maximum solar radiation and the time of maximum temperature
The lag in daily temperature refers to the time lag between the time of maximum solar radiation and the time of maximum temperature.

  1.    Fossil fuel
  2.    CFCs
  3.    Oxygen

Answer: Option A. -> Fossil fuel
The ozone at ground level is primarily from fossil fuel precursors.

  2.    Hydrogen and helium
  3.    Oxygen and water vapor
  4.    Argon and nitrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Hydrogen and helium
