Consider the following pairs:
Lyrids: Late April
Pi Puppids: Late March
Eta Aquariids: Early May
Arietids: Early June
Beta Taurids: Late June
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
The April Lyrids are a meteor shower lasting from April 16 to April 26 each year. The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra, near its brightest star, Vega. The peak of the shower is typically around April 22 each year.
The pi Puppids are a meteor shower associated with the comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup. The meteor stream was viewable around April 23 but only in years around the parent comet’s perihelion date, the last being in 2003.
The Eta Aquariids are a meteor shower associated with Halley’s Comet. The shower is visible from about April 19 to about May 28 each year with peak activity on or around May 5.
The Arietids are a strong meteor shower that lasts from May 22 to July 2 each year, and peaks on June 7. The Arietids, along with the Zeta Perseids, are the most intense daylight meteor showers of the year.
The Beta Taurids are an annual meteor shower belonging to a class of “daytime showers” that peak after sunrise. The Beta Taurids are best observed by radar and radio-echo techniques. The Beta Taurids are normally active from June 5 to July 18.

Consider the following statements
Just 3 per cent of Earth’s Land Surface Is Still Ecologically Intact.
It is the region that has no sign of human disturbances are called “Habitat Richness.”
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
A new study published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change has revealed that only 2% – 3% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface can be considered ecologically intact. So, statement 1 is correct.
This percentage is significantly lower than previous assessments, which estimated this figure at 20% – 40%.
This is because the more recent study included the loss of species from intact habitat in addition to reduced populations.
Currently, there is no common definition of intactness. So, statement 2 is incorrect.
Hence, option A is correct.
