Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I	List-II
A. Fire B. Landslide C. Earthquake D. Drought	I. International Centre for Geohazards II. USGS III. IONA fire atlas IV. International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI)

• A. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
• C. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• D. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Hint:

For hazard data sources, remember: Fire atlas for fire, USGS for earthquakes, geohazard centres for landslides, and climate prediction institutes for drought.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Different hazards use different data sources for monitoring, prediction, and mapping. Matching hazard types with correct data sources is important in disaster information management.

Step 1: Match fire.
Fire hazards are matched with fire atlas data sources. Therefore, fire is linked with IONA fire atlas. \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match landslide.
Landslide and geohazard studies are linked with the International Centre for Geohazards. \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Match earthquake.
USGS is widely known for earthquake monitoring and seismic data. \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match drought.
Drought is climate-related, so it is linked with climate prediction institutions like IRI. \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Therefore, the correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-I,\ C-II,\ D-IV \]
