 Is inversely PROPORTIONAL to the TEMPERATURE

According to Wein's displacement LAW, the wavelength at which maximum RADIATION occurs is inversely proportional to the temperature.

 causes SKIN cancer

Radiation POISONING happens when a radioactive SUBSTANCE gives off particles that get into a person's body and cause harm. Different radioactive SUBSTANCES have different characteristics. They can harm and help PEOPLE in different ways, and some are more dangerous than others.

 A gas

Water vapour, water vapour or aqueous vapour is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water WITHIN the hydrosphere. Water vapour can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of LIQUID water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapour is invisible. Under typical atmospheric conditions, water vapour is CONTINUOUSLY GENERATED by evaporation and removed by condensation. It is less dense than air and triggers CONVECTION currents that can lead to clouds.

 Maharashtra

The movement "PANI Panjayath" was initiated to CONSERVE waters in the drought prone AREAS of Maharashtra STATE.

 Alternation and destruction of the NATURAL habitats

Habitat loss and fragmentation is the most important cause DRIVING ANIMALS and PLANTS to extinction.

 INTERDISCIPLINARY

Environmental EDUCATION should be in interdisciplinary APPROACH.

 Troposphere

Troposphere—the layer closest to EARTH's SURFACE in which all WEATHER OCCURS.

 The wavelength of red light is LONGER.

Red light has a slightly longer wavelength than blue light. Red light (at ONE END of the VISIBLE spectrum) has a longer wavelength than blue light.

 LATENT heat transfer

Perspiration cools the body by latent heat transfer. Sweat helps cool you down by releasing moisture onto your SKIN. But that's not all that's going on. On a HOT day, your sweat EVAPORATES from your skin taking a little bit of your body heat with it.

 SHIFT to a SHORTER wavelength

If the average temperature of the sun INCREASED, the wavelength of PEAK solar EMISSION would decrease.

 Tehri Garhwal area of Uttar Pradesh

The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan, was a FOREST conservation movement in India. It began in 1970s in Uttarakhand, then a part of Uttar Pradesh (at the FOOTHILLS of Himalayas) and went on to become a rallying point for MANY FUTURE environmental movements all over the world.

 Habitat destruction

The main cause of the LOSS of biodiversity can be attributed to the INFLUENCE of human beings on the world’s ECOSYSTEM, In fact human beings have deeply altered the ENVIRONMENT, and have modified the territory, exploiting the species directly, for example by fishing and hunting, changing the biogeochemical cycles and transferring species from one area to another of the PLANET.

 Solar WIND

The solar wind is a stream of charged PARTICLES RELEASED from the upper atmosphere of the SUN, CALLED the corona.

 BIODIVERSITY loss

Biodiversity loss leads to the EXTINCTION of species. Factors such as habitat loss and fragmentation, over-exploitation, alien species invasion and co-extinction are causes for such losses. When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the WORLD, the species is SAID to be extinct.

 EDAPHIC

Soil CHEMISTRY is CONSIDERED an edaphic FACTOR.

 MANIPULATION ZONE

The outermost zone of a biosphere reserve is manipulation zone. The transition area is the outermost part of a biosphere reserve. This is usually not delimited ONE and is a zone of COOPERATION where conservation knowledge and management skills are APPLIED and uses are managed in harmony with the purpose of the biosphere reserve.

 Food web

A NETWORK of food CHAINS existing together in an ECOSYSTEM is KNOWN as food web.

 all of the above

All of the above

 is HIGHLY polluted

BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand or Biochemical Oxygen Demand) is the amount of DISSOLVED oxygen, expressed in milligrams of oxygen per litre of WATER, CONSUMED by micro-organisms to decompose the organic matter present in water.

 Allopatric

Allopatric is the SPECIES that occur in different geographical REGIONS SEPARATED by special barriers.

 MIXING ratio

The ratio of the MASS of WATER VAPOUR in a given volume (parcel) of AIR to the mass of the remaining dry air describes the mixing ratio.

 Ecology

Ecology is the SCIENTIFIC STUDY of the INTERACTION of ORGANISMS with each other and the ENVIRONMENT.

 Coal

Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbon is the MAIN element in fossil fuels. For this REASON, the time PERIOD that fossil fuels formed (about 360-300 MILLION YEARS ago) is called the Carboniferous Period.

 High albedo of CLOUDS, low albedo of WATER

High albedo of clouds, low albedo of water is the set of conditions below BEST EXPLAINS why this is so.

 At the TIME when the air temperature is lowest

The relative humidity is usually highest around sunrise when the overnight low temperature is frequently close to the dew POINT. The humidity drops during the DAY as the temperature rises and usually reaches its lowest VALUE in the middle or late afternoon when the day's MAXIMUM temperature is recorded

 O₃, PAN and NO₂

O₃, PAN and NO₂ cause PHOTOCHEMICAL smog.

 Photosynthesis

During the process of photosynthesis, light penetrates the CELL and PASSES into the chloroplast. The light energy is intercepted by CHLOROPHYLL MOLECULES on the granal stacks. Some of the light energy is converted to chemical energy. During this process, a phosphate is added to a MOLECULE to cause the formation of ATP.

 Fish REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY

Fish reproductive strategy is not an indicative BIOLOGICAL TRAIT for the trait of ECOLOGY.

 UNIDIRECTIONAL

Energy FLOW in ECOSYSTEM is Unidirectional.

 Ethanol

Ethanol MIXED with DIESEL reduces CARBON MONOXIDE EMISSIONS up to 50%.

 Uranium

Uranium is the fuel most widely USED to produce nuclear energy. That's because uranium ATOMS split apart relatively easily. Uranium is also a very common ELEMENT, found in ROCKS all over the world.

 FOSSIL fuels

Energy RESOURCES DERIVED from NATURAL organic MATERIALS are called fossil fuels.

 MUTUALISM

An association between TWO INDIVIDUALS or POPULATIONS where both are benefitted and where neither can survive WITHOUT the other is mutualism.

 Assam

Today this survivor from the prehistoric times is FOUND only in pockets in the north EASTERN state of Assam and in NEPAL. In Assam, their RHINO habitat is limited to just two national parks - Kaziranga and Manas.

 59

GISS data show GLOBAL AVERAGE temperatures in 2017 rose 1.62 degrees FAHRENHEIT (0.9 degrees Celsius) above the 1951-1980 MEAN. According to GISS, the global mean surface air temperature for that period was estimated to be 57 F (14 C). That would put the planet's average surface temperature in 2017 at 58.62 F (14.9 C).

 Propane & Butane

Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG (also called Autogas) consists mainly of propane, propylene, butane, and butylene in various mixtures. It is produced as a by-product of NATURAL gas PROCESSING and petroleum refining. The COMPONENTS of LPG are gases at normal temperatures and pressures.

 0.5 micrometers, 10 micrometers

The sun emits a MAXIMUM AMOUNT of radiation at WAVELENGTHS near 0.5 micrometers, while the earth emits maximum radiation near wavelengths of 10 micrometers.

 Deforestation

Deforestation is an IMPORTANT FACTOR that AGGRAVATES the EFFECT of DROUGHT.

 benthic

Because light is absorbed before it can REACH deep ocean-water, the energy source for deep benthic ECOSYSTEMS is often ORGANIC matter from higher up in the water column that DRIFTS down to the depths.

 Himalayas

In India, these FORESTS are DISTRIBUTED between 1700-3000 meter ALTITUDE in the Himalayas.

 Soil

Soil is often considered an abiotic factor since it is mostly made up of small particles of ROCK (sand and clay) mixed with decomposed plants and animals. Plants use their roots to GET water and NUTRIENTS from the soil.

 Increases with INCREASING height

Within the stratosphere temperatures increase with ALTITUDE (SEE temperature inversion); the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3°C or 26.6°F).

 increases

As it TRAVELS along the food chain, the concentration of DDT increases.
