Question
8. Which choice gives the correct order of a chain of events that show cause-and-effect relationships that result from human activity?(1 point)
Responses
Decrease carbon dioxide in the atmosphere → increase flooding → increase water vapor in the atmosphere → increase severe storms
Decrease carbon dioxide in the atmosphere → increase flooding → increase water vapor in the atmosphere → increase severe storms
Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere → increased water vapor in the atmosphere → increase in severe storms → increase in flooding
Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere → increased water vapor in the atmosphere → increase in severe storms → increase in flooding
Increase in water vapor in the atmosphere → increase in severe storms → increase in flooding → increase in carbon dioxide
Increase in water vapor in the atmosphere → increase in severe storms → increase in flooding → increase in carbon dioxide

**Question 8:** The correct order of a chain of events that show cause-and-effect relationships resulting from human activity is:
**Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere → increased water vapor in the atmosphere → increase in severe storms → increase in flooding.**
This sequence illustrates how higher carbon dioxide levels contribute to greater water vapor content, which can intensify severe storms and ultimately lead to increased flooding.

**Question 9:** The necessary steps for the formation of fossil fuels are best summarized as:
**The remains of plants and animals are buried at the bottom of oceans.**
Other factors like heat and pressure also play a role, but the burial of organic material is essential for fossil fuel formation.
