Which one of the following pairs is mismatched- Nuclear power – radioactive wastes Solar energy – green house effect Fossil fuel burning – release of CO2 Biomass burning – release of CO2 Tree planting helps reduce global warming as trees: Can respire in light Give out O2 Create shade thereby cooling the ground Can sequester CO2 World Ozone Day is celebrated on 16 th September 21 st April 5 th June 22 nd April Polyblend, a fine powder of recycled modified plastic, has proved to be a good material for (1) Making tubes and pipes (2) Making plastic sacks (3) Use as a fertilizer (4) Construction of roads Which of the following pairs of gases is mainly responsible for green house effect? Carbon dioxide and Methane Ozone and Ammonia Oxygen and Nitrogen Nitrogen and Sulphur dioxide Which of the following protocols did aim for reducing emission of chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere? Geneva Protocol Montreal Protocol Kyoto Protocol Gothenburg Protocol Which of these following methods is the most suitable for disposal of nuclear waste? Bury the waste within rocks deep below the Earth's surface Shoot the waste into space Bury the waste under Antarctic ice-cover Dump the waste within rocks under deep ocean Among the following, the one that is not a green house gas is Sulphur dioxide Nitrous oxide Methane Ozone Snow-blindness in Antarctic region is due to Inflammation of cornea due to high dose of UV-B radiation High reflection of light from snow Damage to retina caused by infra-red rays Freezing of fluids in the eye by low temperature Montreal protocol was signed in 1987 for control of Emission of ozone depleting substances Release of Green House gases Disposal of e-wastes Transport of Genetically modified organisms from one country to another Dobson units are used to measure thickness of: Stratosphere Ozone Troposphere CFCs Identify the correctly matched pair - Kyoto protocol – Climatic change Montreal Protocol - Global warming Basal Convention – Biodiversity Conservation Ramsar Convention – Ground water pollution The thickness of ozone in a column of air in the atmosphere is measured in terms of : Dobson units Decibels Decameter Kilobase Which of the following is the correct contribution of various greenhouse gases to total global warming?
