Lakes and river water do not freeze suddenly in the winters.
evs - i sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Lakes and river do not suddenly freeze in the winters.
While water is moving, if the temperature drops below zero it doesn't freeze. Fast moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's density behaviour protects them from freezing. When lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. But it does not freeze completely
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which one of the following is not a reason for shortage of usable water?

evs - i sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. Over exploitation

  2. Climate change

  3. Deforestation

  4. Decrease in sea level

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water shortage is the water scarcity that may be caused by altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of freshwater. Sea water cannot be used for daily activities because of the salt content. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What affects velocity and surface expansion of river?

evs - i sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. Dissolved Oxygen

  2. Turbidity

  3. Currents

  4. Hydrography

Show answer
Correct Option: D

More than 70% of world's fresh water is present in

evs - i sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. Ocean

  2. Polar ice

  3. Glaciers and Mountains

  4. Greenland

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Oceans hold about 97% of water, and the Glaciers and polar ice caps hold another 2%. The polar ice caps contain 77% of the world's fresh water supply and another 22% is trapped in the ground which leaves only 3% of the world’s fresh water supply in lakes and rivers.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

The fresh water is continually being renewed and recharged through

evs - i sources of water the lithosphere and the hydrosphere first aid safety and first aid

  1. Hydrological cycle

  2. Carbon cycle

  3. Nitrogen cycle

  4. Life cycle

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hydrological cycle is a prominent method to rejuvenate the fresh water resources. It involves the evaporation of water into water vapour by the heat of the sun which further condenses into tiny water droplets which fall on the earth as rain. This continuous recycling of water leads to recharging of the water resources.
