Question
Effective disaster management makes us well
prepared for future.
✓
Answer
(i) Disaster Management is achieving or time to time improving the ability to face the disasters through scientific and careful observations and analysis of data.
(ii) It involves collecting the information about intensity of disaster and probable sites of disaster through predictive intensity maps and hazard maps respectively.
(iii) It also includes getting special training for disaster management.
(iv) Preparedness is a plan chalked out so as to get the quick response from general public and administration.
(v) Modern technology is implemented to increase awareness among masses.
(vi) In future the people and administration can be updated and made alert about the situation so as to face the disaster in the best possible way.

There are two important fuels A and B both of which are extracted from deep inside the earth. Fuel A is a thick, dark, foul smelling liquid whereas fuel B is a black solid. Combustion of both the fuels produces products, C, D, E and F. The product C makes the rainwater only slightly acidic but it is mainly responsible for causing global warming. The product D is neither acidic nor basic. It is harmless and does not affect the environment in any way. Both E and F attack breathing system of humans and are mainly responsible for causing acid rain. In addition to combustion of fuels A and B, the product F is also formed when lightning occurs in the sky.

Write short notes: Mendeleev’s periodic law.
When a black metal compound $XO$ is heated with a colourless gas $Y_2,$ then metal $X$ and another compound $Y_2O$ are formed. Metal $X$ is red-brown in colour which does not react with dilute acids at all. Gas $Y_2$ can be prepared by the action of a dilute acid on any active metal. The compound $Y_2O$ is a liquid at room temperature which can turn anhydrous copper sulphate blue.
