DForests

Show answer

D. ForestsSilviculture is the branch of forestry concerned with the management, cultivation, and care of forests. It involves the practice of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, and quality of forest stands to meet diverse needs such as timber production, wildlife habitat, and environmental conservation. The term comes from Latin — silva meaning forest, and cultura meaning cultivation. Other options (for context) Rivers: Managed under hydrology or water resource management, not silviculture. Lakes: Managed under limnology or aquatic resource management. Hills: May be part of forest areas, but silviculture specifically refers to forest management.

Question 1365

Tajmahal is threatened mostly due to :

ASulphur dioxide

BCarbon dioxide

CCarbon monooxide

DWater Vapour

Show answer

A. Sulphur dioxideThe Taj Mahal is threatened primarily due to sulphur dioxide (SO₂) pollution. When sulphur dioxide released from nearby industries and vehicles mixes with moisture in the air, it forms sulphuric acid, leading to acid rain. This acid rain reacts with the white marble of the Taj Mahal, causing it to turn yellow and deteriorate — a phenomenon known as “Marble Cancer.” Other options (for context) Carbon dioxide: Contributes to global warming but does not directly damage marble. Carbon monoxide: Harmful to health but has minimal effect on marble structures. Water vapour: Naturally present in the atmosphere and not harmful to monuments.

Question 1364

Sound causes hazardous noise pollution at decibels:

AAbove 50

BAbove 80

CAbove 100

DAbove 130

Show answer

B. Above 80Sound becomes hazardous and causes noise pollution when its intensity exceeds 80 decibels (dB). Prolonged exposure to such high noise levels can lead to hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbances, and other health problems. Common sources include heavy traffic, loudspeakers, machinery, and construction activities. Sounds above 120 dB can cause immediate ear damage or pain. Other options (for context) Above 50 dB: Considered moderate — typical of normal conversation or office noise. Above 100 dB: Very loud and potentially painful, but 80 dB is the threshold for long-term hazard. Above 130 dB: Extremely loud, causes immediate physical pain and ear damage.

The operation was code-named "Smiling Buddha" and was conducted by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) under the leadership of scientists like Dr. Raja Ramanna. This event marked India’s entry into the group of nuclear-capable nations. Other options (for context) Bikaner: A city in Rajasthan, but no nuclear tests were conducted there. Barmer: Located near the Pakistan border, not the site of India’s nuclear test. Jaisalmer: Close to Pokhran geographically, but not the test location.
