Q.1 Q.2 Q.3 Q.4 Q.5 Q.6 Q.7 Q.8 Q.9 Q.10

Q.1

A group of scientists conducted a study on the impact of deforestation in a particular region. They observed an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Which role of forests in mitigating climate change was directly affected in this scenario?

Q.2

A tourist is exploring a kelp forest. What is the primary benefit of kelp forests in the marine ecosystem?

Q.3

What does "affordability" mean concerning food security?

Q.4

In a coastal town, residents have noticed a significant increase in the intensity and frequency of storms and hurricanes over the past few years.
What could be linked to the observed stronger and more frequent storms and hurricanes?

Q.5

In Country X, the government is facing the challenges of adapting to climate change impacts, particularly in regions prone to floods and hurricanes. They've initiated various strategies to mitigate these effects.

Which of the following strategies is/are NOT a viable approach for Country X to adapt to climate change impacts based on the case study?
1. Implementing sustainable resource management practices.
2. Developing early warning systems for extreme weather events.
3. Investing in climate-resilient infrastructure and agriculture.
