Question

Which describes the relationship between the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (blue line) and average global temperatures (red line) over time? (1 point) Responses Both carbon dioxide and global temperatures increased significantly prior to the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840. Both carbon dioxide and global temperatures increased significantly prior to the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840. Carbon dioxide increased significantly after the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840, but global temperatures remained constant. Carbon dioxide increased significantly after the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840, but global temperatures remained constant. Carbon dioxide increased significantly prior to the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840, but global temperatures remained constant. Carbon dioxide increased significantly prior to the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840, but global temperatures remained constant. Both carbon dioxide and global temperatures begin to increase significantly after the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840.

Answer 1

The correct response is: Both carbon dioxide and global temperatures begin to increase significantly after the Industrial Revolution that ended in 1840.

This reflects the observed trend that as industrial activities ramped up and the burning of fossil fuels increased, both carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and average global temperatures have risen significantly.
