The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Lagoon is," we need to analyze the provided options one by one to determine which one correctly defines a lagoon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Term "Lagoon":** - A lagoon is a shallow body of water that is separated from a larger body of water, typically the ocean, by some form of barrier such as coral reefs or sand dunes. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option (a): Full moon** - This does not relate to the definition of a lagoon. A full moon is a lunar phase and has no connection to water bodies. - **Option (b): Sea breaking into land and separated by sand dunes** - While this describes a coastal feature, it does not specifically define a lagoon. A lagoon is not just any separation by sand dunes; it involves a specific shallow water body. - **Option (c): Spot in desert with presence of water** - This describes an oasis rather than a lagoon. A lagoon is not defined by being in a desert. - **Option (d): Horse-shoe shaped coral reef** - This option closely aligns with the definition of a lagoon. Lagoons can often be found in association with coral reefs and can take on a horseshoe shape due to their formation. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(d) Horse-shoe shaped coral reef**. ### Final Answer: **(d) Horse-shoe shaped coral reef** ---

Answer question numbers 4(a)-4 (d) on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and the related studied concepts: India today is facing the problem of overuse of resources, contamination of water and soil and lack of methods of processing the waste.The time has come for the world to say goodbye to "single-use plastics".steps must be undertaken to develop environment-friendly substitutes, effective plastic waste collection and methods of its disposal. Indore treated 15 lakh metric tonnes of waste in just 3 years,through biomining and bioremediation techniques.Bioremediation involves introducing microbes into landfill to naturally 'break' it down and biomining involves using trommel machines to shift through the waste to separate the 'soil' and the waste component.The city managed to chip away 15 lakh metric tonnes of waste at a cost of around Rs.10 crore.A similar experiment was successfully carried out in Ahmedabad also. (a) State two methods of effective plastic waste collection in your school. (b) Name any two uses of "single-use plastic" in daily life. (c) If we discontinue the use of plastic,how can an environment-friendly substitute be provided? (d) Do you think microbes will work similarly in landfill sites as they work in the laboratory?Justify your answer.

Figure shows the relationship between tensile stress and strain for a typical material. Below proportional point A, stress is directly proportional to strain which means Young's moudulus (Y) is a constant. In this region the material obeys Hooke's law. Provided the strain is below the yield point 'B' the material returns to its original shape and size when the force is removed. Beyond the yield point, the material retains a permancnt deformation after the stress is removed. For stresses beyond the yeld point, the material exhibit plastic flow, which means that it continues to elongate for little increases in the stress. Beyond C a local constriction occurs. The material fractures at D (i.e. breaking point). The graph below shows the stress-strain curve for 4 different materials. If you bough a new shoe which bites in the beginning and later on fits perfectly, then the material used to making the shoe is
