3. When is Vanmahotsav celebrated?
4. What is global warming?
5. Define pollution. Also suggest ways to control and prevent air and water
pollution.
6. How can we recycle and reuse plastics?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A1: The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

A2: Carbon Dioxide.

Methane.

Nitrous Oxide.

Fluorinated Gases.

A3: Van Mahotsav (Hindi for Forest Festival) is an annual one week tree planting festival in India which is celebrated in the first week of July.

A4: Climate change includes both the global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases, and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns.

A5: The presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects. Pollution can be reduced through processes such as recycling and the proper treatment of water and toxic waste. The reduction of corporate fossil fuel extraction is another way to counter air pollution. According to the Carbon Majors Report prepared by the Carbon Disclosure Project, more than 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions comes from only 100 companies.

A6:Create Recycled Plastic Bottle Supply Cups,

Reuse Coffee Creamer Containers for Snack Storage,

Make a DIY Plastic Bottle Planter,

Upcycle Laundry Detergent Bottles Into a Watering Can.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. The greenhouse effect is process by which radiation from planets atmosphere warms the planet surface to a temperature. radiatively active gases in a planet atmosphere radiate energy in all direction.
2. Carbon dioxide , methane, Nitrous oxide etc
3. Vanmohatsav is celebrated in first week of July.
4. Global warming is a long term heating of Earth's climate system due to industries, human activities, fossil fuel burning which increase heat trapping greenhouse gas levels in earth atmosphere.
5. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

• To control water pollution are stop disposing toxic chemical into water, avoid avoid using garbage, burn less fossil fuels.
• To control air pollution reduce numbers of trips in your car, reduce fireplace and wood stove use, avoid burning leaves trash and other materials.

6. plastic can be reused by we using a plastic bottle, reuse of coffee creamer containers, reuse poly bags. plastic can be recycled by making a new bottles and containers, plastic lumber, picnic table, furniture, recycling bins and more.
