Match Column A with Column B. Column A Column B 1 . Nitrogen i. supporter of combustion 2 . Oxygen ii. significant impact on temperature 3 . Carbon dioxide iii. used in metallurgy 4 . Water vapour iv. used to fill air balloons 5 . Argon v. absorbs infrared radiation 6 . Helium vi. the main constituent of proteins

Nitrogen is the main constituent of protein s. It is the abundant gas in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the supporter of combustion. Fuel reacts with oxygen to release heat energy. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide also absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation. Water vapour has a significant impact on temperature. It is the gaseous form of water. Argon is used in metallurgy. It is injected to stir the metal and help facilitate the refining steps. Helium is a gas and it occupies space. Helium gas is to fill air balloons . The grade 4 helium is known as the balloon grade helium. Column A Column B 1 . Nitrogen vi. the main constituent of proteins 2 . Oxygen i. supporter of combustion 3 . Carbon dioxide v. absorbs infrared radiation 4 . Water vapour ii. significant impact on temperature 5 . Argon iii. used in metallurgy 6 . Helium iv. used to fill air balloons

Match the columns: Column A Column B 1 . CO 2 (i) Lava 2 . Water purifier (ii) Quartzite 3 . Sandstone (iii) Tsunami 4 . Obsidian (iv) Fire extinguisher 5 . Earthquake (v) Ultra-violet rays

1-iv The carbon dioxide gas puts out fire because it is inflammable. So it is used in fire extinguishers. 2-v Electromagnetic radiations like ultraviolet rays obtained from the sun and are used to kill germs present in the water. 3-ii Quartzite is formed from sandstone which is a metamorphic rock. 4-i Obsidian is an igneous rock formed by the lava that cools and turns hard into solid rock. 5-iii Natural events that cause damage to life and property are called natural disasters or natural calamities. Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural calamities. Tsunamis can be caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Column A Column B 1 . CO 2 (iv) Fire extinguisher 2 .
