Global warming is caused by an increase in carbon released into the atmosphere. The most likely cause of this is

the industrial age and increased burning fossil fuels for energy and advancing technology

increased use of alternative energy sources

increased population of humans and organisms, breathing more CO2 into the atmosphere

Global temperatures have actually been rising steadily in the last 150 years. This is leading to melting ice caps, rising seas, and wild weather changes. What has most likely caused the increased global temperatures?

an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

a decrease in oxygen in the atmosphere

an increase in the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere

a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

For a resource to be classified as 'renewable', it must be able to be

replaced within a human life span

remade by nature after millions of years

Every year in the spring, the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere decline drastically. What is the most likely cause of this?

Spring brings an increase in plants and vegetation growth. Plants naturally take in CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the air and put out oxygen.

Spring brings more showers and storms, which trap CO2 in the atmosphere and push it down as precipitation

Spring brings an increase in convection currents in the atmosphere

People stay inside more in the spring and breathe less CO2 into the outside air.

Conservation of natural resources involves the careful management and preservation of Earth's physical resources, such as soil, water, air, plants, animals, and energy, to ensure they are available for current and future generations. This includes all of the following EXCEPT

running sprinklers to hydrate soil and plants

reducing use of or reusing items
