Give scientiifc reasons:
In regions with cold climate, the aquatic plants and animals can survive even when the atmospheric temperature goes below `0^@C`

Give scientific reasons: In cold regions in winter the Pipes for water supply break and even rocks crack.

Give scientific reasons: In cold countries , in winter, even when the water lakes freezes, aquatic animals and plants can survive.

An ice box used for keeping cold eatables has a total wall area of 1 metre^2 and a wall thickness of 5.0 cm. The thermal conductivity of the ice box is K=0.01 (jou l e)/(metre)^@C . It is filled with ice at 0^@C along with eatables on a day when the temperature is 30^@C . The latent heat of fusion of ice is 334 x 10^3 joules/kg. The amount of ice melted in one day is (1 day = 86,400 seconds)

Paragraph-based questions Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: Disasters can be properly classified into three categories. viz. natural disasters, technological disasters and man-made disasters. The forces that cause natural disasters cannot be controlled. Moreover, they are becoming more frequent in the current years due to phenomena of climate change. On and off incidences of cyclones, cloud bursting, floods, etc. are creating havoc in the lives of people. Technological disasters are due to improper and callous behavior at the different processes carried out in technical establishments. Man-made disasters are conflicts arising due to different religions, regions and terrorism. Give any one example of technological disaster that shook the entire India.

Aquatic plants and animals can survive in cold region because of _____ A. humidity B. dew point C. heat capacity D. anomalous behavior of water

Answer the following Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below it. A biotic carbon atoms are circulated into the biotic form through processes like photosynthesis and respiration. Green plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and also produce carbon compounds like proteins and fats. Biotic compounds are transported from plants to apex consumers through intermediate trophic levels. After the death of all types of consumers, carbon is recycled by biotic decomposition. The carbon recycled in this way goes into the atmosphere and can be taken up by living organisms thus ensuring circulation and recycling of carbon in the biosphere. What process plays a significant role to ensure that carbon is available to living organisms even after the death of apex consumers?

Answer the following Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below it. Food poisoning can occur due to contamination of food by various bacteria and fungi.Clostridia are bacteria responsible for spoilage of cooked food. There are around 100 species of this bacteria viz. Clostridium tetani, Clostridium botulinum, etc. that are present either free living in soil or the alimentary canal of humans and other animals. The bacteria are rod- shaped and produce pottle-shaped endospores in adverse environmental conditions. These microbes cannot withstand normal oxygen levels in air and grow under anaerobic conditions. How does Clostridium survive even under adverse conditions?

Write the equation for thermo emf when cold junction is at 0^@C and the hot junction is at T^@C what will be the shape of graph showing variation of thermo emf with a temperature?
