Question F.1.3:
Define water cycle? Explain in detail.
ANSWER:
Water cycle is the cyclic flow of water from the atmosphere to the earth and then back to the atmosphere through various processes.
Water in various water bodies gets evaporated by the heat of the sun. This evaporated water goes up in the atmosphere. The water droplets
in the air condense to form clouds. When the droplets become too heavy to be held back in the clouds, they drop down as rain on the earth.
This rainwater evaporates and forms clouds again. Thus, there is a cyclic flow of water between the atmosphere and the earth; it is termed as
the water cycle.

Question F.1.4:
Describe the harmful effects of air pollution.?
ANSWER:
The harmful effects of air pollution are as follows:
It adversely affects the health of animals, plants and humans.

It leads to lung cancer, asthma and other respiratory problems.
It also damages crops.
Page No 225:
Question F.1.5:
What do you understand by 3Rs? Explain them.
ANSWER:
The 3Rs are reduce, reuse and recycle. They help in the management of non-biodegradable wastes.
Reduce: It aims at reducing the amount of waste generated by consuming more and throwing less. It can be done by using old
paper for packing, using a fountain pen instead of a ballpoint pen, etc.
Reuse: It aims at reusing old things for other purposes. For example, empty jam bottles can be reused to keep kitchen stuff like salt
and sugar.
Recycle: In this process, waste materials are used to make new products. For example, plastic, metal, paper, etc., can be recycled
and used for making new things.
