C. SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

Ch-16 Effects of Pollution on Climate and Environment  Goyal Brothers Prakashan ICSE Class-10 Biology Solutions

(Page-235)

Question 1. Name any two gases responsible for the formation of acid rain.

Answer : Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air

Question 2. How is the vegetation affected by acid rain?

Answer : Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow. At high elevations, acidic fog and clouds might strip nutrients from trees’ foliage, leaving them with brown or dead leaves and needles

Question 3. Name any two chemicals that cause the depletion of ozone layer.

Answer : chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, hydro-bromo fluorocarbons,  chloro-bromomethane, and methyl chloroform

Question 4. List down the sources of CFCs

Answer : Sources of CFC

Question 5. Discuss any three human activities those are responsible for climate change in recent years.

Answer : Scientists agree that global warming is caused mainly by human activity. Specifically, the evidence shows that certain heat-trapping gases, such as carbon dioxide, are warming the world—and that we release those gases when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

Question 6. Discuss any three effects of climate change on the global warming.

Answer : Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns.

Question 7. Mention any two effects of ozone depletion.

Answer : Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth’s surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders

Question 8. Mention any two economic effects of global warming.

Answer : Global warming will primarily influence economic growth through damage to property and infrastructure, lost productivity, mass migration and security threats. The balance between winners and losers turns increasingly negative as temperatures rise

Question 9. Suggest two ways of reducing global warming. 

Answer :  Ways to Stop Global Warming
