Questions and Answers

1.

What is not the common cause for a green house effect?
- A.
  
  Vehicles
- B.
  
  Fruits
- C.
  
  Pollution
- D.
  
  Waste
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Fruits

Explanation
The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat from the sun and result in global warming. While vehicles, pollution, and waste contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, fruits do not have a direct impact on the greenhouse effect. Therefore, fruits are not a common cause for the greenhouse effect.

Correct Answer
C. Global warming

Explanation
Global warming is the correct answer because it refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in temperature can lead to various health problems for humans, including heat-related illnesses, respiratory issues from air pollution, the spread of infectious diseases, and the disruption of ecosystems that provide essential resources for human health.

What is the main reason the ozone hole has become depleted?
- A.
  
  Atmosphere
- B.
  
  Pollution
- C.
  
  Plants
- D.
  
  Ultraviolet radiation
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
D. Ultraviolet radiation

Explanation
Ultraviolet radiation is the main reason for the depletion of the ozone hole. Ozone depletion occurs when certain chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are released into the atmosphere. These chemicals break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This leads to the formation of the ozone hole, which allows more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.
