Question 41.


Humus is a major factor in deciding the soil structure.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     If ozone hole appears in tropical and temperate regions, it could cause a series of health problems.
  4.     Ozone hole occurence is a seasonal phenomenon.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Humus is a major factor in deciding the soil structure because it causes the soil to become more porous and allows water and air to penetrate deep underground.
Question 42.


The process which involves the conversion of nitrates in the soil into atmospheric nitrogen is known as ______.


  1.     nitrification
  2.     denitrification
  3.     ammonification
  4.     nitrogen fixation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> denitrification
:
B
The nitrates which are formed by the process of nitrification are utilized by the plants. The excess nitrates in the soil are released back in the atmosphere as atmospheric nitrogen by denitrifying bacterias. This process is known as denitrification.
Question 43.


Which of the following constitute the abiotic components of the biosphere?


  1.     Air
  2.     Land
  3.     Animals
  4.     Water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Land
:
A, B, and D
Abiotic factors or components are mainly referred to all the non-living things in the biosphere. Air, land,water, sunlight are the examples of abiotic factors. These factors help in sustaining
life on Earth.
Question 44.


The oxides of nitrogen and sulphur  dissolve in rain to give rise to acid rain.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     respiration
  4.     transpiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The fossil fuels like coal and petroleum produces oxides of nitrogen and sulphur when they are burnt. These oxides are mixed up with rain water which give rise to acid rain.
Question 45.


Which among the natural cycles is the reason for the seas and oceans not drying up?


  1.     Carbon cycle
  2.     Oxygen cycle
  3.     Water cycle
  4.     Nitrogen cycle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Water cycle
:
C
The whole process in which water evaporates from the surface of seas and oceans and falls back on land as rain and later flows back into the sea via rivers is known as water-cycle. This is one of the ways in which the water present on earth is circulated all over the Earth. 
Question 46.


Oxygen from atmosphere is used up for processes such as 


  1.     photosynthesis
  2.     combustion
  3.     respiration
  4.     transpiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> combustion
:
B and C
Oxygen from the atmosphere is used for processes such as combustion and resipration. Oxygen is added up to the  atmosphere by the process of photosynthesis. Transpiration is the process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the parts of the plants.
Question 47.


Which of these processes helps in nitrogen fixation?


  1.     Combustion
  2.     Lightning 
  3.     Respiration
  4.     Transpiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Lightning 
:
B
Nitrogen fixation is an essential biological process by which nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia. Lightning is one of the physical processes that convert nitrogen into oxides of nitrogen. These oxides then dissolves in water to form nitrates and fall on land along with rain.
