Q.1	Only a small number of wildlife is found in the Arctic region. How will global warming affect the wildlife there?
	a) The wildlife will have more water to drink when the ice melts.		b) The animals will lose their habitat when the ice in the Arctic melts.
	c) There will be more animals migrating to the Arctic when the weather becomes warmer.		d) The rate of reproduction will increase for the wildlife when the temperature increases.

Q.2	Identify a prevalent issue contributing to water wastage within urban water supply systems:
	a) Overuse of water by residents		b) Inefficient water treatment methods
	c) Excessive rainfall leading to runoff		d) Leakage in pipes and infrastructure

Q.3	A region faced the challenge of rampant deforestation, impacting the local climate. What weather phenomenon could be intensified due to the reduction of forest cover in this area?
	a) Tornadoes		b) Avalanches
	c) Hailstorms		d) Heatwaves

Q.4	In an experiment to study a terrestrial food web, scientists set up a controlled environment in a forest ecosystem. They observed an increase in the population of herbivorous insects. What would be the most likely consequence of this population increase on the food web?
	a) An increase in plant populations due to reduced herbivory		b) A decrease in carnivorous insect populations due to competition
	c) A decrease in plant populations due to increase consumption of plants		d) A decrease in soil microorganisms

Q.5	In a distant village nestled in a valley, electricity access is limited. The community decides to install solar panels to power their homes and school. What primary environmental benefit does this initiative offer?
	a) Reduces carbon emissions from electricity production		b) Depends on fossil fuels for energy generation
	c) Increases energy scarcity during cloudy days		d) Creates pollution due to panel manufacturing

Q.6	Which climatic condition is generally favourable for most crop growth? 1. Erratic rainfall and unpredictable weather patterns 2. Optimum rainfall and temperature 3. Extreme temperature fluctuations 4. Heavy rainfall throughout the year
