Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Correct Sinkholes form in areas of “karst” terrains, where the rock below the surface of the Earth can be easily dissolved by groundwater. Karst terrain is created from the dissolution of soluble rocks, mostly limestone and dolomite and is characterised by distinctive landforms such as caves, sinkholes and springs. Sinkholes can be formed due to natural processes or human activity.Sinkholes can also be formed due to human activity due to broken land drains, water mains and sewerage pipes, increased rainfall, storm events, underlying limestone and diverted surface water, among other reasons. Context – A cave exploration team has discovered an ancient forest with trees nearly 40 metres high at the bottom of a giant karst sinkhole in Leye County in south China

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements
- Green hydrogen is produced by using clean energy from surplus renewable energy sources
- National Hydrogen Mission aims to generate 5 million tonnes of Green Hydrogen by 2030
- Currently Green Hydrogen makes up around 5% of overall hydrogen production
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Incorrect Green hydrogen is produced by using clean energy from surplus renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to split water into two hydrogen atoms and oneoxygen atom through a process called electrolysis. This makes green hydrogen the cleanest option – hydrogen from renewable energy sources without CO2 as a by-product. India plans to manufacture 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030. It’s not a total of 5 million tonnes of Green Hydrogen by 2030. It currently makes up about 0.1% of overall hydrogen production, but this is expected to rise as the cost of renewable energy continues to fall. Context – Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas claimed that India will emerge as the leader of green hydrogen.
