Question 4. What Will Happen If
(c) the top layer of soil is exposed. Answer : (a) we go on cutting trees : Trees are the most important part of our eco-system directly responsible for recycling of polluted air we breath, rainfall augumenting our water reserves which are used for drinking as well as crop production, supply of organic raw materials in the form of food, wood and medicine, providing food and shelter to animals and birds. Trees also prevent soil erosion and floods. Cutting of trees in a longer run will result in catastrophic consequences for the existence of mankind along with whole spectrum of diversity envolvng living being and plants on this planet earth. (b) the habitat of an animal is disturbed: Each species of a animal is part of a ecosystem chain with diverse elements in the form of land, air, water, flora and fauna.. Each part essentially play its role as a team member to support the co-existence of natural diversty in a wholistic and balanced term. If the habitat of an animal is disturbed, it will resort to migrate to some other place for food and shelter. This will disturb the ecosystem of that particular area resulting in long term consequences. (c) the top layer of soil is exposed : If the top layer of soil is exposed , rain water will directly hit the ground and impact of this will cause further loosening of humus rich top soil layer. First, this will result in soil erosion in the form of mud flush and reduced soil fertility, secondly it will deprive ground water reserves from recharging as water will flow down without any seapage or percolation. Question 5. Answer in brief: (a) Why should we conserve biodiversity? Answer : We should conserve biodiversity, because biodiversity represent whole ecosystem comprising land, water, air, fauna and flora. Each component of this biodiversity chain is inter dependent on each other for a sustainability. (b) Protected forests are also not completely safe for wild animals. Why? Answer : Even protected forests are not safe for wild animals because people living in the neighbourhood encroach upon them and destroy them. (c) Some tribals depend on the jungle. How? Answer : Some tribals depend on the jungle as they live in the deep forest like primitive people had lived in anciant time.They are still away from the basic amenities of modern life Forest provide them food items like seed grains, fruit, raw vegetables and other products like honey, meat of hunted wild animals for themselves, fodder for theirs animals, wood fuel for heating and cooking even clothing using natural fibres, leaves and animal skins. (d) What are the causes and consequences of deforestation? Answer : The main causes of deforestation are exploitation of forest resources by the human being to meet the ever growing requirements of an increasing population, rapid urbanization, industrialization. The consequences of deforestation will result in putting in danger, the whole existence of human being along with biodiversity on the planet earth. (e) What is Red Data Book?
Answer : Red Data Book is the source book which keeps a record of all the endangered animals and plants (f) What do you understand by the term migration? Answer : Migration is the phenomenon of movement of a species from its own habitat to some other habitat for a particular time period every year for a specific purpose like breeding. Question 6. In order to meet the ever-increasing demand in factories and for shelter, trees are being continually cut. Is it justified to cut trees for such projects? Discuss and prepare a brief report. Answer : It is not justified to cut the trees at present rate for such project. Trees as a part of forest are the most important part of our eco-system.Word wide, reduced forest cover have already started showing its devastating effects in terms of climatic changes. We must reduce our dependency on our forest resources to meet the ever-increasing demand in factories and for shelter. We should look for some other alternatives for the same. We have to start reforestation at much larger scale taking it as a top priority. Question 7. How can you contribute to the maintenance of green wealth of your locality? Make a list of actions to be taken by you. Answer : We can plant trees in open spaces, park, along the side of road and motivate others. We can make use of roof water or water from kitchen for water harvesting to recharge the ground water table. We can recycle our organic waste from kitchen for making compost and use it in our kitchen garden or plants. We can reduce use of paper .We can save it, reuse used paper and recycle it. Question 8. Explain how deforestation leads to reduced rainfall. Answer : Deforestation increases the temperature and pollution level on the earth. It increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Ground water level also gets lowered. Deforestation disturbs the whole eco-system. As we know, plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Fewer trees would mean that less carbon dioxide will be used up resulting in its increased amount in the atmosphere. This will lead to global warming as carbon dioxide traps the heat rays reflected by the earth. The increase in temperature on the earth disturbs the water cycle and may reduce rainfall. Question 9. Find out the information about the national parks in your state. Identify and show their location on the outline map of India. Answer : Our state Punjab has just one national park. Harike Wetland also known as "Hari-ke-Pattan", with the Harike Lake in the deeper part of it, is the largest wetland in northern India in the Ferozepur district of the Punjab state in India. The wetland and the lake were formed by constructing the head works across the Sutlej river, in 1953. The headworks is located downstream of the confluence of the Beas and Sutlej rivers. The rich biodiversity of the wetland which plays a vital role in maintaining the precious hydrological balance in the catchment with its vast
concentration of migratory fauna of waterfowls including a number of globally threatened species (stated to be next only to the Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur) has been responsible for the recognition accorded to this wetland in 1990, by theRamsar Convention, as one of the Ramasar sites in India, for conservation, development and preservation of the ecosystem

Question 10. Why should paper be saved? Prepare a list of ways by which you can save paper. Answer : It takes 17 full grown trees to make one tonne of paper. Therefore, we should save paper. Paper can be recycled five to seven times for use. If each student saves at least one sheet of paper in a day, we can save many trees in a year. We should save, reuse used paper and recycle it. By this we not only save trees but also save energy and water needed for manufacturing paper. Moreover, the amount of harmful chemicals used in paper making will also be reduced. We can also save paper by using Information technology for storage of printed data, books in digital form. Question 11. Complete the word puzzle: Down 1. Species on the verge of extinction. 2. A book carrying information about endangered species. 5. Consequence of deforestation. Across 1. Species which have vanished. 3. Species found only in a particular habitat. 4. Variety of plants, animals and microorganisms Answer :
