Question 1 of 10
1. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following act as carbon sinks on earth?
1.Coral reefs
2.Ocean Water
3.Soil
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period. The process by which carbon sinks remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration. Public awareness of the significance of CO2 sinks has grown since passage of the Kyoto Protocol, which promotes their use as a form of carbon offset.
Some important carbon sinks on earth are:
•Soils: Soils represent a short to long-term carbon storage medium, and contains more carbon than all terrestrial vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Plant litter and other biomass including charcoal accumulates as organic matter in soils, and is degraded by chemical weathering and biological degradation.
•Vegetation: Carbon is stored in biomass as it is captured from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis.
•Ocean: Oceans are amongst the largest carbon sinks. They absorb CO2 from the surface and store it in deep waters.
•Coral reefs: coral reefs are structures made of calcium carbonate. A large amount of carbon is trapped as carbonate in coral reefs.Incorrect

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements with reference to coastal ecosystems
1.The Blue Carbon Initiative is aimed at restoration of coastal marine ecosystems.
2.Amount of carbon stored in coastal ecosystems is more than that of the tropical forests.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Statement 1: The Blue Carbon Initiative is the first integrated program with a comprehensive and coordinated global agenda focused on mitigating climate change through the conservation and restoration of coastal marine ecosystems.
Statement 2: coastal ecosystems have been found to store huge quantities of carbon in organic rich sediments – up to 5 times more carbon than many temperate and tropical forests.Incorrect

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements about Tsunami
1.The speed of tsunami waves depends on the ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave.
2.Tsunamis grow in height when they reach shallow water.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Statement 1: The speed of tsunami waves depends on the ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave. Tsunami waves may travel as fast as jet planes over deep waters, only slowing down when reaching shallow waters. While tsunamis are often referred to as tidal waves, this name is discouraged by oceanographers because tides have little to do with these giant waves.
Statement 2: In deep Ocean, tsunami waves may appear only a foot or so high. But as they approach the shoreline and enter shallow water they slow down and begin to grow in energy and height. The tops of the waves move faster than their bottoms do, which causes them to rise precipitously.Incorrect

4. Question
2 pointsPotato ores are
Correct
Deep sea mining is a relatively new mineral retrieval process that takes place on the ocean floor. Ocean mining sites are usually around large areas of polymetallic nodules or active and extinct hydrothermal vents at about 1,400 – 3,700 m below the ocean’s surface.
