A family is wanting to switch their heating system from a traditional heating system to the alternative heating system shown. The family lives in Lansing, Michigan, which receives on average 241 cloudy days a year. Which question would BEST identify a potential disadvantage to this type of heating system for this family?
Does the alternative system pollute less than traditional heating systems?
Does the weather in an area impact how well the system works?
How does the radiator function on cold days?
What is the solar collector made of?
A new electricity company claims that the electricity it provides is generated completely through the use of renewable resources. However, a visit to the company’s plant reveals that it uses coal-powered generators to power the machines that extract geothermal energy from the ground.
Which of these is the BEST reason why an environmental group might dispute the electricity company’s claims?
Geothermal energy is nonrenewable. Therefore, the company cannot claim it uses only renewable resources to generate electricity.
Coal is a nonrenewable resource. Therefore, the company cannot claim it uses only renewable resources to generate electricity.
Which of the following questions can BEST be answered by using the information available in the table?
Which layer formed first?
Which layer is darkest in color?
Which layer is the largest in area?
Which layer has the widest temperature range?
Which question would be the BEST help determine whether a particular resource should go under the “Renewable Resources” category or the “Non-Renewable Resources” category?
Can both renewable and non-renewable resources cause harm to the environment?
Can both renewable and non-renewable resources be reused and recycled for later use?
Can the resource be replaced by a natural process in a reasonable amount of time or not?
Can the resource be used to provide energy to people’s homes and cars?

30%
Based on this image, which question BEST asks how to reduce the consumption (use) of non-renewable resources?
Can fossil fuels develop at a slower pace causing an unlimited supply of nonrenewable resources?
Can fossil fuels develop at a quicker pace causing an unlimited supply of nonrenewable resources?
Can walking and/or riding a bike to work or school reduce the consumption (use) of non-renewable resources?

Based on the graph, what pattern can be observed in the global temperatures over the past century (1925-2020)?
The average temperature has increased over the past century.
The average temperature has decreased over the past century.
The average temperature has remained the same over the past century.
The average temperature has increased and decreased over the past century.
What evidence does the data provide to support scientists’ claims that in the last century human activity involving the release of carbon dioxide has contributed to a rise in Earth’s global temperatures?
The graph shows that in the last century, the Earth’s temperature has increased because of the increased usage of renewable resources.
The graph shows evidence that as carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere decreased, the Earth’s global temperatures increased.
The graph does not show a correlation between the levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere and Earth’s global temperature.
The graph shows evidence that as carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere increased, the Earth’s global temperatures also increased.
