KSEEB SSLC Class 10 Science Chapter 16 Intext Questions<\/h3>\n

Text Book Part I Page No. 128<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhat changes can you make in your habits to become more environment friendly?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0We must refuse to buy products that harm us and the environment.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0We should minimise the use of electricity and water.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0We should encourage recycling of things.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 2.
    \nWhat would be the advantages of exploiting resources with short-term aims?
    \nAnswer:
    \nWith the human population increasing at a tremendous rate due to improvement in health-care, thedem and for all resources is increasing at an exponential rate. The management of natural resources requires a long term perspective so that these will last for the generations to come and will not merely be exploited to the hilt for short term gains.<\/p>\n

    Question 3.
    \nHow would these advantages differ from the advantages of using a long term perspective in managing our resources?
    \nAnswer:
    \nIf resources are used in accordance with short term aims, present generation will be able to utilize the resources properly for overall development. But if we plan to use resources with long term aims, not only the present generation is benefited but also the future generations will also be able to utilize resources for fulfilling its necessities. Thus it would be better to use our natural resources with a long term perspective so that it could be used by the present generation as well as conserved for future use.<\/p>\n

    Question 4.
    \nWhy do you think that there should be equitable distribution of resources? What forces would be working against an equitable distribution of our resources?
    \nAnswer:
    \nNature shows no partiality. Natural resources belong to all and these resources should be used judiciously. Equitable distribution of resources will benefit both poor as well as rich people.
    \nHuman greed, corruption, and the lobby of the rich and powerful are the forces working against an equitable distribution of our resources.<\/p>\n

    Question 1.
    \nWhy should we conserve forests and wildlife?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Destruction of forests not only affect on forest products but it affects the water resources and it is soil pollution.<\/li>\n
    2. Destruction of forest leads to shortage of fodder for animals, shortage of medicinal plants, shortage of fruits and nuts.<\/li>\n
    3. There is a shortage of valuable timbers such as sal, sandal wood etc.<\/li>\n
    4. Wild animals are also useful to us in many ways, hence we should conserve these by building sanctuaries and prohibited hunting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 2.
      \nSuggest some approaches towards the conservation of forests.
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Cutting valuable trees should be prevented.<\/li>\n
      2. We should use forest products, such that there should not be damage to the environment.<\/li>\n
      3. All people should participate in the conservation of forest and wild animals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question 1.
        \nFind out about the traditional systems of water harvesting\/ management in your region.
        \nAnswer:
        \nWe must dug small pits and lakes, put in place simple water shed systems, built small earthen dams, constructed dykes, sand and limestone reservoirs, set up root top water collecting units. These are the traditional systems of water harvesting\/management in our region.<\/p>\n

        Question 2.
        \nCompare the above system with the probable systems in hilly\/ mountainous areas or plains or plateau regions.
        \nAnswer:
        \nIn the above mentioned places check dams are built because here water harvesting is difficult.<\/p>\n

        Question 3.
        \nFind out the source of water in your region\/locality. Is water from this source available to all people living in that area?
        \nAnswer:
        \nTube wells and river water (Tungabhadra) are the water sources available to all people in our area. There are different sources in different places. In some places there is too much shortage of water because of failure of rain recently.<\/p>\n

        Question 1.
        \nWhat changes would you suggest in your home in order to be environment-friendly?
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. We must save water and electricity.<\/li>\n
        2. We should not waste food.<\/li>\n
        3. We should encourage reuse and recycling.<\/li>\n
        4. We must minimise the use of plastics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 2.
          \nCan you suggest some changes in your school which would make it environment friendly?
          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Enough plants and trees can be planted in the school.<\/li>\n
          2. Water should not be wasted but should be used judiciously.<\/li>\n
          3. Students should be taught to keep their classrooms and immediate surroundings neat and tidy.<\/li>\n
          4. Compost pits may be made in safe comers of the school, where biodegradable wastes may be dumped to prepare compost.<\/li>\n
          5. Minimising the usage of loudspeakers.<\/li>\n
          6. Organising seminars, quiz, essay competition, drawing competitions for spreading environmental awareness, celebrating Vanamahotsava… etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Question 3.
            \nWe saw in this chapter that there are four main stakeholders when it comes to forests and wildlife. Which among these should have the authority to decide the management of forest produce? Why do you think so?
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe local people need large quantities of firewood, small timber and thatch. Bamboo is used to make slats for huts, and baskets for collecting and storing food materials. Implements for agriculture, fishing and hunting are largely made of wood, also forests are sites for fishing and hunting.<\/p>\n

            In addition to the people gathering fruits, nuts and medicines from the forests, there cattle also graze in forest areas or food on the fodder which is collected from forests.<\/p>\n

            Because of these reasons the people who live in or around forests have authority to decide the management of forest produce.<\/p>\n

            Question 4.
            \nHow can you as an individual contribute or make a difference to the management of
            \n(a) forests and wildlife
            \n(b) water resources and
            \n(c) coal and petroleum?
            \nAnswer:
            \na) Forests and wild animals.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. cutting valuable trees should be avoided by destroying forest affects the quality of soil and water resources.<\/li>\n
            2. Hunting should be prohibited.<\/li>\n
            3. There should be wild sanctuaries which gives protection for wild animals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              b) Water Resources:
              \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Water resources should be free from pollution.<\/li>\n
              2. Excess usage of water should be avoided.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                c) Coal and Petroleum:
                \nAnswer:
                \nWe should minimise the use of coal and petroleum, because these are fossil fuels. By burning these there are ill effects such as air pollution and acid rainfall etc.<\/p>\n

                Question 5.
                \nWhat can you as an individual do to reduce your consumption of the various natural resources?
