How do greenhouse gases contribute to climate change according to the review material?

• They redirect energy back to Earth's surface, causing warming.

• They absorb all sunlight, cooling the planet.

• They prevent water from evaporating.

• They increase precipitation rates.

Explain how warm air rising can lead to storms, using evidence from weather patterns.

• Warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses, forming fronts where air masses meet, which can lead to storms.

• Warm air always stays at the surface and prevents storms.

• Storms only occur when cold air rises.

• Warm air rising has no effect on weather patterns.

Why is it important for engineers to use evidence and testing when designing solutions for environmental problems?

• To ensure solutions meet criteria and can be improved through redesign.

• To make the design process faster without testing.

• To avoid using any constraints in their work.

• To ignore sustainability and focus only on cost.
