Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
(a) Energy resources. Renewable and non-renewable sources of energy are studied under energy resources in the DU course.
(b) Forests (trees). In the 1970s, heavy felling for timber in the Himalayas led local women to start a people's movement against deforestation by timber contractors, reviving the memory of the Bishnoi women of Rajasthan who had clung to khejri trees to save them.
(c) Pollution. Pollution is an undesirable change in our surroundings, such as unwanted materials in air, water or soil, that harms plants, animals and human beings.
(d) Methyl isocyanate (MIC). It escaped from the Union Carbide pesticide plant at Bhopal, the greatest industrial disaster to cause serious air pollution; the held text prints the name as methyl isocyanide.
(e) Ecological succession. It is the orderly process by which one community of plants and animals is gradually replaced by another, for example an open area turning into grassland, then shrubland and finally forest, until a fairly stable stage is reached.
