Real questions that test this
जगातील जंगलांच्या ह्रासामुळे कोणती संकटे उद्भवत आहेत ? / Deforestation in the world has resulted in which calamities ? आणि Which of the statement given above is/are correct ?
(a)अनियमित पर्जन्यमान / Irregular rainfall
(b)भूजल वाढले आहे / Increased ground water
(c)वाळवंटीकरण / Desertification
(d)दुष्काळ वाढला आहे / Increased drought
Deforestation causes irregular rainfall (A), desertification (C), and increased droughts (D). Statement B is incorrect because deforestation decreases, rather than increases, groundwater levels.
खालील विधाने वाचा व योग्य तो पर्याय निवडा. / Read the following statements and choose the appropriate option.
(a)हवामानशास्त्रीय दुष्काळ हे प्रत्येक दुष्काळाचे कारण असते. / Climatological drought is the cause for every drought.
(b)जलशास्त्रीय दुष्काळ नेहमीच मानवनिर्मित घटकांची परिणती असते. / Hydrological drought is always an outcome of the human factors.
Climatological drought (extended period of deficient precipitation) is not the cause for 'every' drought type in a strict universal sense, though it precedes others; hydrological drought is influenced by natural hydrological factors alongside human interference, meaning it is not 'always' exclusively a human outcome.
