Question 1. If dropped in water, this object will:
If Dropped In Water, This Object Will:
  1.    Sink
  2.    Float
  3.    Burn
  4.    Freeze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sink
:
A
The above shown object is made up of steel. Itis more dense than water. Thus, the object will sink if dropped in water.
Question 2. Which form of water is this?
Which Form Of Water Is This?
  1.    Liquid
  2.    Solid
  3.    Gas
  4.    Melted
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Solid
:
B
Water in solid state is known as Ice and could be obtained by cooling downwater below the freezing point.
Question 3. In which parts of sewage treatment plant, the speed of flowing sewage is adjusted such that heavier particles settle down first followed by smaller particles.
  1.    Filtration tank
  2.    Chlorination Chamber
  3.    Grit chamber
  4.    Sedimentation tank
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Grit chamber
:
C
A grit chamber adjusts the speed at which sewage flows such that the heavier paticles like stones, sand, etc. followed by smaller particles settle down to the bottom of the chamber.
Question 4. A water body of dense ice and snow found on mountains is known as ________.
  1.    Glacier
  2.    River
  3.    Pond
  4.    Ocean
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Glacier
:
A
A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice, found on mountains.It forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its melting and evaporationover many years, often centuries.
Question 5. Clouds form when water vapour in the air ______ into water droplets.
  1.    evaporates
  2.    condenses
  3.    precipitates
  4.    combine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> condenses
:
B
Clouds formwhen the invisible water vapour in the air condenses into visible water droplets. Thus water vapour condenses and come together to form clouds.
Question 6. Which of the following water source does not contain saltwater?
  1.    Rivers
  2.    Oceans
  3.    Seas
  4.    Saltwater lakes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rivers
:
A
Oceans and Seas occupy 97% of the Earth's water, which is mostly Saltwater.
Saltwater lakes too contain salt water as the name depicts.
River takes water from glaciers and rains which are sources of freshwater.
Question 7. Water molecules _________ to change from liquid to gaseous state.
  1.    release heat
  2.    absorb heat
  3.    absorb light
  4.    release light
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> absorb heat
:
B
Water moleucles absorb heatand start vibrating faster, this increases thedistance betweenmolecules andliquid molecules change into gaseous state (water vapours).
Question 8. The process by which water droplets in the clouds fall on the ground is called ______.
  1.    condensation
  2.    precipitation
  3.    evaporation
  4.    solidification
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> precipitation
:
B
Condensed water droplets combine to form clouds.Once the cloudgets heavy, they fall on the surface of the earth as rain, snow or hailstones. This process is known as precipitation.
Question 9. Empty plastic bottles float on water because their density is ________ that of water.
  1.    less than
  2.    more than
  3.    equal to
  4.    not comparable to
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> less than
:
A
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Density of plastic is less than that of water, hence empty plastic bottle floats over water surface.
Question 10. The process of passing chlorine gas through water to kill germs is known as ________.
  1.    sedimentation
  2.    chlorination
  3.    screening
  4.    filtration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> chlorination
:
B
Chlorines gas is passed through water during treatment to kill germs and make it safe for drinking and other purposes. This process is known as chlorination.
