Osprey
3
What is the most likely reason for the change below
Lower infant mortality rates as a result of increased access to healthcare.
A ore agricultural-based economy means the need for child labor decreased
Families had limited access to family planning and contraceptives.
Women had increased educational opportunities & had children later in life.
4
Which describes an environmental problem that can result from the combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity?
CO2 is produced and it can lead to global climate change
This can heat water to convert the water into steam to turn turbines
It requires more energy than it produces & is therefore very inefficient.
A chemical rxnoccurs between the fossil fuel and oxygen to produce energy
5
A major environmental problem caused by using the agricultural practice of tilling is
ozone depletion from fossil fuel use
eutrophication from excessive fertilizer use
compaction of soil from adding compost
intercropping by traditional farmers
6
What makes an energy source renewable?
They use new technology
They can be replenished naturally, at or near the rate of consumption.
They exist in a fixed amount and cannot be easily replaced.
They are made from the remains of ancient organisms.
7

Imposing federal limits on catch size &imposing taxes on extra fish caught
Educational material on buying local seafood
Creating MPA with no-catch zones
subsidies for large fishing companies to help them afford new crew members
12

14
Stratospheric ozone (O3) is essential for life to exist on Earth because it:
absorbs incoming visible light from Sun, increasing rates of photosynthesis
reflects incoming visible light back to space upping rates of cellular resp
reflect incoming solar radiation back to space decreasing the average temp
absorbs incoming solar radiation preventing exposure to dangerous radiation
