Question
In a village, the temperature has been increasing, and rainfall has become unpredictable over the past few years. What could be causing this change? Suggest two ways the village could adapt to these new conditions.

Answer
Causes: The changes are likely due to climate change, driven by increased greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, leading to global warming and altered weather patterns. Deforestation or local land use changes could also reduce moisture and affect rainfall.
Adaptation Strategies:
• Water Conservation: Implement rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems to store water during unpredictable rainfall.
• Sustainable Farming: Use drought-resistant crops and sustainable farming practices to cope with higher temperatures and reduced water availability.

One day Ram was performing an experiment. He was trying to design an electric circuit in which he included tester, bulb and a battery. He had so much eagerness regarding this experiment that in so much hurry, he forgot to take the connecting wires of aluminium. He took the wires without any coating of PVC on them, so it could be dangerous for him. Any how, he managed to design an electric circuit but the moment, he switched ON the circuit, a spark was produced and bulb got fused with a small sound. He was about to touch those wires and heated bulb with his bare hands, at the same time, his teacher suggested him to perform the experiment by taking precautions.
(i) Explain what could have happened, if Ram would touched the electric bulb with his bare hands.
(ii) Mention why should he use the aluminium wires in his experiment?
(iii) State the values shown by Ram's teacher here.
