both living and nonliving things.

coal, oil, natural gas and uranium.

What needs to be done to prevent resources listed in the middle of the diagram from shifting toward the right side of the diagram?

They must be used at a sustainable rate.

They must be used as quickly as possible before running out.

More of the resources need to be produced.

Nothing, because they will only ever shift toward the left.

Use the table to answer the following question. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to traditional diesel. Both produce the same amount of energy. Which statement best compares biodiesel to traditional diesel?

Biodiesel is produced from a material that forms over a few months, while traditional diesel is produced from a material that forms over several million years.

Biodiesel produces no carbon dioxide, while traditional diesel produces large amounts of the gas.

Biodiesel produces a small amount of hydrogen, while traditional diesel produces large amounts of the gas.

Biodiesel is produced from a material that forms over several decades, while traditional diesel is produced from a material that forms over a few thousand years.

The following table shows the energy sources used to produce electricity in the United States. What can you infer from the table?

More than 90 percent of U.S. electricity comes from nonrenewable sources.

Oil is more widely used for electricity than hydroelectric power.

Hydroelectric power is more widely used for electricity than nuclear power.

About 19.4 percent of U.S. electricity comes from renewable sources.

Which statement best describes wood and coal in terms of renewability and formation time?

Wood is renewable and forms in a few years, unlike coal, which is nonrenewable and takes millions of years to form.

Wood is nonrenewable and forms in a few years, unlike coal, which is renewable and takes millions of years to form.

Wood is nonrenewable and takes millions of years to form, unlike coal, which is renewable and forms in a few years.

Wood is renewable and takes millions of years to form, unlike coal, which is nonrenewable and forms in a few years.

Why is developing renewable energy important to life on Earth?

Other energy sources will be used up and gone forever.

Renewable energy produces less pollution

In order to sustainably use our natural resources, we need all of the following EXCEPT:

an increase in the human population

Many of Earth’s nonrenewable resources are very rare. Other nonrenewable resources, such as coal, are abundant but not easily replaced. What would happen if we used up all the coal on Earth?

There would be no more coal left to use.

It is impossible to use all the coal in the world.

We would make more coal at a factory.

More coal could quickly be formed underneath the Earth’s surface.

Most of the world’s energy supply comes from burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources. If people continue to burn fossil fuels at the same rate, which of the following events will most likely happen?

All of the world’s fossil fuel reserves will be used up.

No changes will be made to the world’s fossil fuel reserves.

Fossil fuels will quickly reform underneath the ocean’s floor.

Fossil fuel deposits will be found on the moon.

Nuclear energy is nonrenewable because

once we use the Earth’s supply of uranium, there will not be any more.

mining uranium is very expensive.

there are a limited number of neutrons in the world.

Which of the choices below gives a true example of how a natural resource can be renewed?

When forests have been cut down, new native trees can be planted.

When all of the coal is gone from a mine, new coal can be grown in its place.

When an area's natural gas has been used up, oxygen can replace the gas.

When the Sun is hidden behind clouds, lamps can be used to power solar cells.

Environmental science and environmentalism are the same thing.

At the start of the Industrial Revolution, about 10,000 years ago, humans began planting crops and domesticating animals.

The Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions changed the course of human history and the way we interact with natural resources.

The tragedy of the commons refers to the overuse of unregulated resources.

Humans are part of the environment.

Nature makes natural resources at similar speeds.

For most of human history, population has been high and relatively stable.
