Question Description
Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:Large-scale forest degradation and improper carbon sequestration are one of the causes of the recent flooding witnessed in most parts of Karnataka and Kerala over the last two years. Carbon sequestration is a natural/artificial process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and held in solid or liquid form. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in their latest study report, have found large-scale land cover shaved off, leading to deforestation with degradation, causing 20–25% of anthropogenic (human-related) carbon emissions, resulting in a regional impact on climate patterns. The loss of forest cover has also modified the local rainfall pattern. The study, ‘Carbon Sequestration Potential of the Forest Ecosystems in the Western Ghats: a Global Biodiversity Hotspot’, by researchers from the Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc, on the fragile Western Ghats, investigated landscape dynamics with climate trends and carbon sequestration potential. The analysis indicated that the regions in the southern parts of Western Ghats (WG) in Kerala and part of Karnataka have witnessed large-scale climate changes. The central Western Ghats area (Karnataka) shows a very meager change in temperature (0.05 degrees Celsius increase), while the rainfall shows increasing trends close to 100 mm and increase in rainy days up to two days. The northern portion of the Western Ghats latitudes shows an increasing temperature of 0.5 degrees Celsius, four days increase in the number of rainy days, and an increase in rainfall by between 100 mm and just over 250 mm. These analyses demonstrate that land use has played a major role in moderating micro-climatic conditions in the Western Ghats over a temporal scale. The reduction in rainfall and an increase in temperature can affect carbon stock in the region.Q. According to the passage, what is the meaning of "Carbon Sequestration"?a)A process in which carbon dioxide is kept in solid or liquid form.b)A process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.c)A process of removing carbon monoxide and keeping it in solid or liquid form.d)A process of removing moisture from carbon dioxide and keeping it in solid or liquid form.Correct answer is option 'B'.
