200 Environment Related Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

The study of environment or rather environmental studies is a multi-disciplinary subject which needs knowledge interest from physical sciences (physics, chemistry, mathematics), biological sciences (botany, zoology, microbiology, biochemistry), social sciences, economics, sociology, education, geography) etc. Obviously, environmental studies has a broad base, which requires integrated approach for dealing with the various aspects.
