IELTS Environmental Issues Quiz

Effects of deforestation on climate change: How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• Has no impact on the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

• Reduces the number of trees available to absorb carbon dioxide

• Increases the number of trees available to absorb carbon dioxide

• Leads to the release of oxygen into the atmosphere

Effects of deforestation on climate change: What are the long-term impacts of deforestation on the environment?

• Increase in biodiversity, improvement of water cycle, decrease in soil erosion, and reduction of climate change

• No impact on biodiversity, no effect on water cycle, no soil erosion, and no contribution to climate change

• Decrease in biodiversity, improvement of water cycle, increase in soil erosion, and reduction of climate change

• Loss of biodiversity, disruption of water cycle, soil erosion, and contribution to climate change

Impact of pollution on marine life: How does pollution affect marine ecosystems?

• Pollution only affects land animals, not marine life

• Pollution can affect marine ecosystems by harming marine animals, disrupting food chains, and damaging habitats.

• Pollution has no impact on marine life

• Marine life thrives in polluted environments

Impact of pollution on marine life: What are the consequences of plastic pollution on marine animals?

• Increase in marine biodiversity and population

• Improved water quality and ecosystem balance

• Enhanced ability to adapt to changing environment

• Ingestion of plastic leading to internal injuries, blockage of digestive system, and death, entanglement in plastic leading to suffocation and inability to hunt for food, and disruption of marine ecosystems

Solutions for reducing air pollution: What are some effective methods for reducing air pollution in urban areas?

• Relaxing regulations on vehicle emissions

• Encouraging more people to drive cars

• Increasing industrial emissions

• Promoting public transportation, reducing industrial emissions, and enforcing stricter regulations on vehicle emissions

Solutions for reducing air pollution: How can individuals contribute to reducing air pollution in their communities?

• By burning more fossil fuels

• By using plastic bags and disposable products

• By supporting industries with high carbon emissions

• By using public transportation, carpooling, biking, walking, reducing energy consumption, and supporting clean energy initiatives.

The role of government in environmental protection: What are the responsibilities of the government in protecting the environment?

• Privatizing all natural resources

• Creating and enforcing environmental regulations, promoting sustainable practices, and investing in conservation efforts.

• Ignoring environmental issues completely

• Investing in industries that harm the environment

The role of government in environmental protection: How can government policies and regulations help in preserving natural resources?

• By encouraging deforestation and mining

• By setting standards for pollution control, promoting renewable energy sources, and enforcing penalties for environmental violations.

• By ignoring environmental regulations and standards

• By promoting the use of non-renewable energy sources

Renewable energy sources and their benefits: What are the advantages of using solar energy as a renewable resource?

• Solar energy is abundant, clean, and sustainable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

• Solar energy is expensive and unreliable, causing frequent power outages.

• Solar energy contributes to air pollution and increases dependence on non-renewable resources.

• Solar energy requires a lot of water for its production, leading to water scarcity issues.

Renewable energy sources and their benefits: How can wind energy contribute to reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change?

• Wind energy has no impact on carbon emissions

• Wind energy is not a renewable source of energy

• Wind energy can contribute to reducing carbon emissions by providing a clean and renewable source of energy for electricity generation.

• Wind energy contributes to increasing carbon emissions
