Little Things by Ebenezer Cobham Brewer

Make the mighty ages

What is Causing Climate Change

Climate change is occurring because of the constant fossil fuels burning and becoming trapped in the greenhouse gas effect. With the particles being bounced back to earth instead of being released, the world is getting hotter. With rapidly changing weather, the environment isn’t able to adjust as quickly. It is resulting in more wildfires, flooding, and hurricanes. As a nation, we contribute to this problem with the constant usage of cars, industrial machinery, and burning fossil fuels. Many people are already getting affected. They are called Climate refugees. A It is estimated that the number of refugees will only increase. B It is important to focus on how you can help. C Instead of using your powered vehicle, you can opt to walk, ride a bicycle, skate, or have mass transit. D These changes could go a long way in helping prevent climate change.

31. Which sentence from the article reflects the author’s opinion? 

Igneous Rocks

Igneous rocks are made when molten material inside or outside the earth cools and becomes solid. This melted rock is called magma when it is inside the earth. When magma finds its way to the surface through cracks or volcanoes, it is called lava. When lava cools on top of the earth’s surface, it forms igneous rock. Because it cools quickly, it only has time to make very tiny crystals. Most igneous rocks look dull and do not sparkle much because they are fine-grained. If the magma stays inside the earth and takes thousands of years to cool, it makes big crystals. These crystals make a coarse-grained igneous rock called plutonic. These coarse-grained crystals make the rock have sparkles.
