00:01 So here let's start with question 4.

00:02 When we talk about savelberg global seed vault, so this global seed vault is basically present in or it is situated in norway government on the island of spisburgan.

00:17 So it is located on the island of spitzbergen and is designed in order to deep freeze all the seeds which are available for different plant varieties and different types of crops which are being grown in every.

00:30 Part of the world.

00:31 So we can say that the seeds of hundreds and thousands of plant varieties or we can say crop variety is grown in which is grown in every part of the globe is been stored in savalmer global seed vault.

00:44 Let's move on to the next question.

00:46 Question fifth.

00:47 When we talk about over harvesting, over harvesting is basically a term which is also known as over exploitation or overfishing.

00:57 It basically means that that a renewable source which is present in the nature is used to the point of diminution, which means that more sea or we can say more land it basically is used then it can replace.

01:14 And due to this over -harvesting, specifically the over -harvesting of the aquatic species, which is the aquatic species has mostly affected and because of that they can basically either lead to their extinction and most of the as this aquatic species is been affected their reproduction cycle or how they reproduce is also affected and along with that the speed of reproduction is been affected when too many fishes are being taken out of the water we can say it basically creates an imbalance which leads to loss of marine life so option a is correct for question fifth when we talk about question six specifically rainforest so rain forest so rain forest forest is a very important area which has tall and specifically it has the presence of this ever green trees which because of that it receives a high amount of rainfall in that area and rainforests are also known as the lungs of the planet as they absorb carbon dioxide.

02:17 Along with that they absorb different type of greenhouse gases as well.

02:23 Therefore it is known as the lungs and it increases the local humidity and creates.

02:27 A balance and different medicines and different medical plants are being found there which can help in producing different types of medicines because of its great diversity.

02:39 So option d is correct for question number six.

02:41 Let's move on to the next question.

02:43 So next question is question seven and here we are going to talk about anthropogenic global warming and this theory basically suggests that that the increasing temperature will have effect on climate and the human survival as well.

03:00 So this particular statement given is absolutely true here.

03:04 Let's move on to the next question, question 8.

03:07 And in year 2015, we can say around $134 million are been basically transacted on the purchase of about 165073 acres are being purchased.

03:22 For we can say for forest rivers and specifically for the cascade mountain range this particular area is been bought for the conservation purposes...
