Mathew claims that people should invest in alternative sources of energy rather than burning fossil fuels. He has put together two graphs as evidence. Which statement correctly supports his claim based on evidence from the graphs?
More carbon in the atmosphere likely absorbs more heat energy, thus increasing the temperature.
Petroleum should replace natural gas, since it releases less carbon dioxide.
Burning coal does not contribute to a rise in carbon dioxide or temperature.
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels has decreased over time.
The graphs show no possible correlation between burning fossil fuels and increasing temperatures.

Gabriela recently moved to a city in Florida that is prone to severe weather. Which condition may lead to a tornado?

Humid air constantly rises and clouds accumulate. The clouds grow into an enormous, moisture-rich cloud formation.
A low-pressure system, typically near the equator, pulls in warm air to form a rotating spiral shape.

Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. Which sentence must Hannah correct before submitting her report?
Earth receives energy from the Sun.
Albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object.
A value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed.
The albedo of an object can influence Earth’s atmospheric temperature.
