What to Focus On

  • Environmental problems are of natural and manmade types.
  • Large population increases pressure on land, water, food, fuel, and energy.
  • Human activities can intensify natural disasters and pollution.

  • Floods, cyclones, earthquakes, forest fires, tsunamis, landslides, and cloudbursts are major natural disasters.
  • Early warning systems and safe evacuation reduce loss of life.
  • Earthquake intensity is measured using the Richter scale and seismograph.

  • Deforestation destroys habitats and reduces biodiversity.
  • Reforestation, afforestation, silviculture, and social forestry help increase forest cover.
  • Van-Mahotsava encourages plantation activities.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All environmental problems are caused by human activity.

All earthquakes cause the same amount of damage.

The Richter scale measures the earthquake itself directly like a thermometer measures temperature.
