Which statements are true for Khejri trees- 1. The bark of this tree is used to cure various medical ailments. 2. It is also known for its warming properties. 3. The tree is known as the king of the desert and is the state tree of Rajasthan. Correct Answer Only 1 and 3 are correct

Concept:

  • Most part of Rajasthan lies on the leeward side of Aravalis and receive little or no rainfall.
  • The Great Indian Desert or the Thar desert spreads in Rajasthan
  • Thus, plants growing here are adapted to dry and arid climatic conditions
  • The plants usually have reduced leaves and the main function of their stem is to store water

Explanation:

  • Prosopis cineraria (khejri), Aloe vera, Ficus indica(peepal) and Opuntia(prickly pear) are some common plants found in Rajasthan
  • Of these Khejri is the state tree of Rajasthan
  • It is known for its medicinal properties and its bark is known for its cooling properties.
  • Opuntia and Aloe vera are succulents and their stems are specialised to store water
  • Aloe vera is also known for its medical properties and is especially useful in gastric disorders
  • Peepal is known for the religious and traditional significance it holds.

Its bark is used to cure medical ailments. - Correct

It is also known for its warming properties.​  - Incorrect (Cooling properties)

Khejri is known as the King of Desert and is the State tree of Rajasthan. - Correct.

In the question given below,three paragraphs are given, which arejumbled. Find the correct sequence ofthese paragraphs so that they form ameaningful passage.
A. Climate change is warming the ocean,but its warming land faster and thatsreally bad news for air quality all overthe world, says a new University ofCalifornia, Riverside study. The study,published February 4 in Nature ClimateChange, shows that the contrast inwarming between the continents andsea, called the land-sea warmingcontrast, drives an increasedconcentration of aerosols in theatmosphere that cause airpollution. Aerosols affect the climatesystem, including disturbances to thewater cycle, as well as human health.They also cause smog and other kinds ofair pollution that can lead to healthproblems for people, animals, andplants.
B. To determine this, the researchersran simulations of climate change undertwo scenarios. The first assumed abusiness-as-usual warming model, inwhich warming proceeds at a constant,upward rate. The second model probeda scenario in which the land warmed lessthan expected. In the business-as-usualscenario, enhanced land warmingincreased continental aridity and,subsequently, the concentration ofaerosols that leads to more air pollution.
C. A robust response to an increase ingreenhouse gases is that the land isgoing to warm faster than the ocean.This enhanced land warming is alsoassociated with increased continental
aridity. The increase in aridity leads todecreased low cloud cover and less rain,which is the main way that aerosols areremoved from the atmosphere.
Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier months, thus improving late-summer stream flows. In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species, including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame. Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately .
