  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Spring
  4.    Autumn
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Nitrogen is responsible for maintainingfood products fresh. Hence, nitrogen isused in packaging of chips.
Question 12. The breaking down of rocks due to wind, water and other natural forces is called   _____.
  1.    weathering
  2.    deposition
  3.    precipitation
  4.    erosion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> weathering
:
A
Weathering is a process where rock is worn away or broken down into smaller pieces due to natural factors like wind, water, sunlight/heat and so on.
Question 13. When the southern hemisphere is facing towards the Sun, which season is it in the northern hemisphere?
  1.    Winter
  2.    Summer
  3.    Spring
  4.    Autumn
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Winter
:
A
When the southern hemisphere is facing towards the sun, northern hemisphere is facing away from sun marking summer and winter in regions respectively.
Question 14. Which layer of the atmosphere has the maximum amount of gases present in it?
  1.    Troposphere
  2.    Mesosphere
  3.    Stratosphere
  4.    Exosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Troposphere
:
A
The air around the earth contains a mixtures of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapour and dust particles. The troposphere of the atmosphere contains about 80% of the total mass of gases in the air. It holds a maximum percentage of all the essential gases responsible for life on earth.
Question 15. The Earth's rotation results in day and night.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
When the Earth rotates, half of the Earth will be exposed to the rays of the sun while the other half remains dark. It is daytime on the side facing the sun while its night time onthe other side of the Earth. So, the Earth's rotation results in day and night.
.The Earth's Rotation Results In Day And Night.
Question 16. Tilt in the Earth's axis is one of the reasons behind the different seasons on the Earth.
Tilt In The Earth's Axis Is One Of The Reasons Behind The Di...
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    asteroid
  4.    satellite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Tilt in the Earth's axis is the reason behind the different seasons on the Earth. Different parts of the Earth receive different amount of sunlight throughout the year. So, when north pole tilts towards the Sun, it is summer in northern hemisphere and winter in southern hemisphere.
Question 17.


_______ is the imaginary line that passes through the centre of the Earth.


  1.     String
  2.     Axis
  3.     Golden Line
  4.     Equator
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Equator
:
D

Equator is the imaginary line that passes through the centre of the Earth, dividing it into northern and southern hemispheres.


Question 18.


Which layer of the atmosphere has ozone layer in it?


  1.     Troposphere
  2.     Stratosphere
  3.     Mesosphere 
  4.     Thermosphere 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stratosphere
:
B

About 90% of ozone is present in the stratosphere. It is between 10 and 17 kilometers above the Earth's surface and extends up to 50 kilometers. This layer protects the Earth from the harmful UV rays.


Question 19.


Which of the following is the main source of carbon monoxide


  1.     Plants
  2.     Automobiles
  3.     Oceans
  4.     Household waste
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Automobiles
:
B

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood leads to the formation of it. Out of the given options, automobiles are the source of carbon monoxide production.


Question 20.


Incomplete burning of fuel produces _______which is a poisonous gas.


  1.     Oxygen
  2.     Nitrogen
  3.     Carbon monoxide
  4.     Hydrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Carbon monoxide
:
C

Incomplete burning of fuel leads to the formation of carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide gas, when inhaled, combines with blood and reduces its oxygen carrying capacity thereby damaging the nervous system and even results in death.
