Which statement BEST describes how the wind turbine will affect the pollution issue in the surrounding community?

• The electricity produced by the wind turbine will release mercury emissions and other pollutants to other farmlands, which will still be used for agriculture.

• The electricity produced by the wind turbine will replace the electricity produced by burning coal, reducing the number of pollutants released in the community.

• The electricity produced by the wind turbine will replace the electricity produced by burning coal, increasing the number of pollutants released in the community.

• The electricity produced by the wind turbine will only release mercury emissions and other pollutants on the wind farm, which will no longer be used for agriculture.

Countries across the world have various degree of development. Countries like the United States, Spain and Italy are considered developed while third world countries lack the infrastructure to generate and transport electricity on a large scale. For those developed countries, what are reasonable actions they can take to lower their carbon emissions?

• Create more fossil fuels

• Reduce the demand for energy

• Make products that are more efficient

• Invent a new form of fossil fuel that will allow you to burn more at a faster rate

Countries across the world have various degree of development. Countries like the United States, Spain and Italy are considered developed while third world countries lack the infrastructure to generate and transport electricity on a large scale. Which statement about energy usage is correct?

• Regardless of the amount of energy used, every country has the same amount of emissions

• Every country uses about the same amount of energy, just in other forms

• Developed/developing countries give off less emissions because they have better technology

• Developed/developing countries give off more emissions because they use more energy

Many factors use machinery to perform tasks at a faster and more efficient rate than any human could perform. That machinery can get quite hot from the friction associated with completing their tasks. Companies will use a nearby water source to cool the industrial equipment. What impact would occur if a company were to immediately return the water to the source?

• acidity would increase

• Algal blooms would disrupt marine life

• turbidity would decrease

• Some marine life would suffer a lack of dissolved oxygen
