past and current geologic processes

burning fossil fuels

1

Categorize these natural resources as either renewable or non-renewable:

Water (above ground)
Sunlight
Rocks and Minerals
Fossil Fuels
Plants and Animals
Air
Water (in aquifers)

Renewable Resources
Non-Renewable Resources

1

What is it called/what is produced when fossil fuels are burned?

radiation

carbon emissions

1

What is the sum of all of the resources a human consumes and all of the waste created and left behind?

Fossil fuels

Human footprint

1

These are resources that CANNOT be replaced during our lifetimes.

Renewable Resources

Non-Renewable Resources

1

People try to conserve some resources, like fossil fuels, because they are not replaceable. Why can’t these resources be replaced?

They must be transported long distances.

Processes that make them take a long time.

1

Select all the fossil fuels we have learned about in class:

Oil

Natural Gas

Coal

Water

1

People move into and begin living in an area that previously had no human activity. What will most likely be the effect on the amount of water?

There will be less available for other living things.

The amount of fresh water suitable for drinking will increase.

1

Select the choice below that describes the best how petroleum is created:

Decomposing swamp plants become trapped in sediment. Within a few years their remains have created oil from the soil.

Decomposing tiny marine animals become trapped in sediment. Layers and layers of rock apply immense heat and pressure, eventually turning the organism's remains to liquid.

1

The claim is made that carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by increasing the amount of electricity produced by wind. Which pair of graphs, showing data for CO₂ emissions and wind production of electricity would support this claim?

null

1

Scientists estimate that our total resources will only support 2 billion people

Would feeding an ever-growing population be a postive or negative human impact on our environment?

negative

positive

1

Are infrastructure changes a major positive or negative human impact on our environment?

positive

1

Anything humans use that are obtained from the Earth?

biodiversity

Natural Resources

1

Which of the following claims is supported by the data?

The highest carbon emissions come from the production of dairy products.

Carbon emissions are higher for the production of beef than for chicken and pork combined.

1

What happened during the 19th century that led to humans using fossil fuels for industry and infrastructure?

Farming and Agriculture

Industrial Revolution

1

Do greenhouse gases help us trap heat so our planet stays warmer, or release heat so we cool off?

release heat

trap heat

1

Which of the following would be evidence of climate change?

Shrinking ice sheets

Global temperatures remaining the same

1

When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion, plants in the biosphere are able to absorb and store some of it. This is why plant life is called a __________________?

Carbon sink

deforestation

1

Deforestation __________ the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

increases

reduces

1

Deforestation causes: (select all that apply)

an increase in biodiversity

reduces the amount of plants available to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

carbon dioxide to be released in the atmosphere when the forests are burned
