5. Question
1 pointsCategory: Geography & EnvironmentThe 2004 Tsunami made people realize that mangroves can serve as reliable safety hedge against coastal calamities. How do mangroves function as a safety hedge?
Correct
Coastal Resilience: Mangrove forests provide protection and shelter against extreme weather events, such as storm winds and floods, as well as Tsunamis.
Mangrove tree species that inhabit lower tidal zones can be or buffer ware action with their stems which can measure 30m high and see several meters in circumference and they possess very expensive roots. Hence, they do not get uprooted by tides easily. As mangroves absorb and disperse tidal surges associated with these events.

6. Question
1 pointsCategory: Geography & EnvironmentThe“Red Data Book” published by the International Union Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) contain list of
- Endemic plant and animal species present in the biodiversity hotspots.
- Threatened plant and animal species.
- Protected sites for conservation of nature and natural resources in various countries
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
The Red Data book is published by IUCN. A Red Data book contains lists of species whose continued existence is threatened. Species are classified into different categories of perceived risk Each Red Data book usually deals with a specific group of animals and plants (e. reptiles, insects, mosses) they are now being published in many different countries and provide useful information on the threat status of the species.

7. Question
1 pointsCategory: Geography & Environmentconsider the following statements:
- Biodiversity is normally greater in the lower latitudes as compared to the higher latitudes.
- Along the mountain gradients, biodiversity is normally greater in the lower altitudes as compared to the higher altitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/ are correct?
Correct
There is a strong inverse correlation in many groups between species richness and latitude. The farther from the equator, the fewer species can be found, even when compensating for the reduced surface are in higher latitudes due to spherical geometry of the earth and severity of the climate. Equally, as altitude increases, species rinchness decreases, indicating an effect of area, elevation gradient in climates (temperature and precipitation) and environmental severity at high altitude, geographical isolation of montane species.
