The chart below shows the average number of barrels of oil that are used per person per year in the United States. The number of barrels of oil used per person each year has remained fairly steady, but the United States population has continued to increase. As a result, more oil is used in the United States than ever before. What impact does this have on Earth's systems?

• Fewer pollutants are being released into the atmosphere because oil use per person has remained steady.

• As more oil is used, more greenhouse gases are being released into the atmosphere.

• As oil deposits are removed, they are being replaced by freshwater reservoirs.

• Oil deposits are being depleted, leaving large holes in the Earth's crust.
