Identify the wrong statement in the following :
A
Chlorofluorocarbons are responsible for ozone layer depletion.
B
Greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming.
C
Acid rain is mostly because of oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
D
Ozone layer does not permit infrared radiation from the sun to reach the earth.
Answer :
Ozone layer does not permit infrared radiation from the sun to reach the earth.
Ozone layer acts as a shield and does not allow ultraviolet radiation from sun to reach earth. It does not prevent infra-red radiation from sun to reach earth, thus option (D) is wrong statement and so it is the correct answer.
95.

A
increase in nutrients
B
increase in dissolved salts
C
reduction in dissolved oxygen
D
reduction in water pollution

97.
The dissolution of ozone layer causes ozone hole in the blanket surrounding the atmosphere. What are the ill effects of ozone hole?
A
Greenhouse effect
B
Global warming
C
Acid rain
D
$$UV$$ rays reaching the earth
Answer :
$$UV$$ rays reaching the earth
Ozone hole would allow the harmful $$UV$$ rays of sun to reach the earth which cause skin cancer.
98.
Which of the following reactions is taking place resulting in discolouration of marble of the buildings like Taj Mahal?

A
because of absence of the right type of algae and fungi
B
because of lack of moisture
C
because of $$S{O_2}$$ pollution
D
because natural habitat is missing
