Q.1	Noah is exploring the impact of nutrient pollution on marine ecosystems. How does nutrient pollution, such as excess nitrogen and phosphorus, primarily affect marine habitats?
	a) Enhancing biodiversity by promoting the growth of various marine species.		b) Decreasing oxygen levels and causing harmful algal blooms.
	c) Balancing pH levels in affected marine environments.		d) Strengthening the resilience of marine food webs.

Q.2	A city is experiencing a heat wave, and the local power plant is struggling to keep up with the increased demand for electricity. The power plant is considering burning more fossil fuels to generate more electricity. However, the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. What is the best course of action for the power plant to take?
	a) Burn more fossil fuels to meet the increased demand		b) Implement temporary energy conservation measures to reduce demand
	c) Combat carbon emissions by planting trees and funding environmental projects		d) Invest in renewable energy sources to meet the power need

Q.3	During a marine biology field trip, Emma and her classmates explored a tidal ecosystem. They observed the diverse life forms thriving in the area, including decomposers breaking down organic matter. What might occur in the tidal ecosystem if the activity of decomposers significantly declined?
	a) Increased biodiversity due to reduced competition		b) Accumulation of organic matter leading to oxygen depletion
	c) Faster recycling of nutrients within the ecosystem		d) Improved water quality and clarity

Q.4	Jenny is planning to power her home with a reliable and constant source of energy. She wants a source that does not produce harmful emissions. Which type of energy would best meet her criteria?
	a) Wind energy		b) Nuclear energy
	c) Petroleum energy		d) Biomass energy

Q.5	David is considering the environmental impact of his food choices. Which practice is most detrimental to sustainability in food consumption?
	a) Opting for reusable containers for storing leftovers.		b) Consuming excessive amounts of processed foods.
	c) Supporting local farmers by buying their produce.		d) Throwing away edible food due to cosmetic imperfections.
