Q.5 Abidoo is asking you to tickle your brain.

A) Yes, animals are an important part of our environment (ecosystem). If animals like earthworm
and snakes disappear, it would affect farming. Birds help in pollinating and decrease in their number could
directly impact such processes. Decline in numbers of predators like tigers and lions can lead to growth in
the number of herbivores, which in turn could affect the forest produce, agricultural produce, etc.

B) Participating or starting awareness campaign for protecting such animals

Adopting few animals
Educating people living in forests and villages to protect animals and not participating in acts
of poaching animals
Planting of trees

ores. The metals have to be obtained from their ores by smelting. There are two types of minerals: metallic
such as iron, bauxite, etc. and non-metallic such as mica, graphite, etc. India has rich deposits of all these
minerals. Fuel minerals like coal and crude oil are also available in plenty in India.

give us timber which is used for building houses and furniture; give us firewood which is used as fuel;
wood pulp which is used to make paper, and medicinal trees such as the neem, tulsi, etc. It increases
rainfall by keeping the air cool and releasing water vapour in the air.

rocks which has organic matter. The most vital aspect of the soil is its fertility. Different kinds of
soil are apt for different types of crops.
