Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Soil particles determine its Texture.
Soil texture (such as loam, sandy loam or clay) refers to the proportion of sand, silt and clay-sized particles that make up the mineral fraction of the soil.
The texture of a soil determines soil water-holding capacity, permeability and soil workability.
Sand, silt, clay and organic matter particles in a soil combine to form larger particles. Soil structure is the arrangement of the soil particles into aggregates of various sizes and shapes.

The most important cause for the loss of biodiversity is
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The most important cause of the loss of biodiversity is Climate change.
Climate change is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss, but destruction of ecosystems undermines nature's ability to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and protect against extreme weather, thus accelerating climate change and increasing vulnerability to it.
Loss of biodiversity can lead to land degradation, effects on water supply and changes in farming productivity.

Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Sudden mass death of fish is more likely to occur in Eutrophic lakes.
A eutrophic condition is a term describing a situation where a water body has lost so much of its dissolved oxygen that normal aquatic life begins to die off.
Eutrophic conditions form when a water body is "fed" too many nutrients, especially phosphorus and nitrogen.

Soil erosion can be prevented by
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Soil erosion can be prevented by good plant cover.
Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation.
The roots of the plants bind the soil together, and interweave with other roots, forming a more solid mass that is less susceptible to both water and wind erosion.
Vegetation acts as an interface between the atmosphere and the soil. It increases the permeability of the soil to rainwater, thus decreasing runoff. It shelters the soil from winds, which results in decreased wind erosion, as well as advantageous changes in microclimate.

Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The common source of energy in our villages is wood and animal dung.
Dry dung fuel is animal feces that has been dried to be used as a fuel source. It is used in many countries. Using dry manure as a fuel source is an example of reuse of excreta.
Wood fuel is a fuel such as firewood, charcoal, chips, sheets, pellets, and sawdust. The use of wood as a fuel source for heating is much older than civilization.
