Class 10 Science – Management of Natural Resources

Important Questions with Answers for CBSE Exams – 2019

Question 1:
How our holy river Ganga is getting polluted? What is its ill effect? What is being done to prevent its pollution?
Answer 1:
Ganga is getting polluted by releasing sewage and harmful chemicals and dumping of human corpses. The bathing, washing, also cause pollution. The industries contribute their chemical in the river Ganga.

Question 2:
What are fossil fuels? How are they important for us?
Answer 2:
Fossil fuels are coal and petroleum. They are the important and major sources of energy. Petroleum is used for automobiles and electricity generation. Coal is a major source for electricity generation in thermal power plants. The energy from these sources is used for manufacture of large number of goods upon which our lives depend.

Question 3:
What are the tree R’s to save the environment?
Answer 3:
The three R’s are: Reduce, Recycle and Reuse.
Reduce: This means that you use less. Save electricity by switching off unnecessary lights and fans. Save water by repairing leaking taps. No waste of food. Use less of your personal vehicle. Use a vehicle that gives more kilometres per litre of fuel. Use less of paper in office, school and home.
Recycle: This means that you collect plastic, paper, glass and metal items and recycle these materials to make required things instead of synthesizing fresh plastic, paper, glass or metal. For this the waste must be separated and what can be recycled should be separated from what cannot be. We have seen recycled paper of greeting cards in card shops. Even wedding invitation cards are now available on recycled paper used water can be recycled.
Reuse: This even better than recycling because it saves the energy which is spent at recycling a product. Things are used over and over again. For example, envelopes can be reused by reversing them. Plastic and glass bottles, in which packed items come, can be reused to store many materials in kitchen. We can reuse the water in which we have rinsed our cloths for cleaning the floss of the house. We can use one side printed paper to print on the reverse side. Old newspaper can be used for packing. Magazines and comic books can be given to other people who may find them useful.

Can you suggest some changes in your school which would make it environment-friendly?

Grow trees along the boundary wall.
Grow shrubs and small plants on the sides of internal road and around the playground.
Harvest water from rooftop to be utilised for watering the plants.
Arrange awareness programmes among students through poster exhibition and seminars.
Avoid wastage of water and paper should be recycled for handicraft purposes.

What can you as an individual do to reduce your consumption of the various natural resources?

Save electricity.
Do not waste food.
Save water.
Use cooking gas instead of wood for cooking.
Observe the principle of three R’s (Reduce, Recycle and Reuse).

On the basis of the issues raised in this chapter, what changes would you incorporate in your life-style in a move towards a sustainable use of our resources?

Methods of producing magnetic field are as follows:
Will move in public transport system to conserve petrol.
Instead of coal or natural gas, will prefer to use solar energy for cooking.
Wilt obey rationalised husbanding of all renewable resources.
Take care not to pollute the environment with waste.
Should realise that we are living in a community and are not alone.

What would be the advantages of exploiting resources with short-term aims?

The advantage of exploiting resources with short term aim is to meet the immediate basic human needs.

How would these advantages differ from the advantages of using a long-term perspective in managing our resources?

Short term exploitation of natural resources fulfil the current demand. It is beneficial for the present generation only, whereas, management of resources with long term perspective is aimed to fulfil the needs of future generations. Long term use of resources can be achieved through its sustainable use.

Why do you think there should be equitable distribution of resources? What forces would be working against an equitable distribution of our resources?

Equitable distribution of resources will ensure benefits to all the sections of the society rich as well as poor. This is necessary for the growth and development of a country. Money force is the main factor which is working against an equitable distribution of resources as rich people and rich nations try to encroach upon the share of the poor people or poor nations.

Why should we conserve forests and wildlife?

Wildlife and forests should be conserved for the following reasons:
To prevent loss of ecological stability
To preserve biodiversity
To obtain medicine, wood, fruits, etc., products in a sustainable manner
To promote social and economic growth.

Suggest some approaches towards the conservation of forests.

Forests can be conserved by:
Preventing the process of deforestation
Preventing cattle ranching in the forest
Promoting afforestation
Preventing the soil erosion
Mobilising people’s active cooperation

Compare the above system with the probable systems in hilly/mountainous areas or plains or plateau regions.

In mountainous areas instead of traditional water harvesting system, check dams are built across the seasonally flooded gullies. In this system running water is stored and diverted to the required places such water does not remain stagnant for long, hence there is less chance of it becoming polluted like that of pond water.
