Which question would be the BEST help determine whether a particular resource should go under the “Renewable Resources” category or the “Non-Renewable Resources” category?

• Can both renewable and non-renewable resources cause harm to the environment?

• Can both renewable and non-renewable resources be reused and recycled for later use?

• Can the resource be replaced by a natural process in a reasonable amount of time or not?

• Can the resource be used to provide energy to people’s homes and cars?

About how much of the total energy used in the United States is supplied by renewable forms of energy?

Based on this image, which question BEST asks how to reduce the consumption (use) of non-renewable resources?

• Can fossil fuels develop at a slower pace causing an unlimited supply of nonrenewable resources?

• Can fossil fuels develop at a quicker pace causing an unlimited supply of nonrenewable resources?

• Can walking and/or riding a bike to work or school reduce the consumption (use) of non-renewable resources?

• Can the use of energy efficient appliances increase the consumption (use) of non-renewable resources?

What evidence does the data provide to support scientists’ claims that in the last century human activity involving the release of carbon dioxide has contributed to a rise in Earth’s global temperatures?

• The graph shows that in the last century, the Earth’s temperature has increased because of the increased usage of renewable resources.

• The graph shows evidence that as carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere decreased, the Earth’s global temperatures increased.

• The graph does not show a correlation between the levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere and Earth’s global temperature.

• The graph shows evidence that as carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere increased, the Earth’s global temperatures also increased.
