The correct response is:
It led to an increased use of coal, oil, and other fossil fuels.
The Industrial Revolution significantly increased the use of fossil fuels, which contributed to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change.
How did the Industrial Revolution contribute to global climate change?(1 point)
Responses
It led to the release of chemicals that destroyed the ozone layer.
It led to the development of nonrenewable sources of energy.
It led to an increased use of coal, oil, and other fossil fuels.
It led to an increased use of alternative fuels other than fossil fuels.

The correct response is:
Use more fuel-efficient cars.
Increasing the use of fuel-efficient cars can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus contribute to mitigating global warming.
Which compares the gases most commonly released by fertilizers and gases from landfills?(1 point)
Responses
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release carbon dioxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release carbon dioxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release nitrous oxide.
Responses
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release carbon dioxide.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release carbon dioxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release carbon dioxide, while landfills release methane.
Chemicals from fertilizers can release methane, while landfills release nitrous oxide.
The correct response is:
Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.
Fertilizers can lead to the release of nitrous oxide (a potent greenhouse gas), while organic waste in landfills often produces methane as it decomposes anaerobically.
The Carbon Cycle is an example of how materials move through the spheres. The diagram below shows how carbon (in the form of CO2, a gas) moves from the atmosphere, to the biosphere/lithosphere/hydrosphere, and back into the atmosphere. Use the answer choices below to fill in the table to show how a process moves carbon from one sphere to another.
Some answer choices may be used more than once, only once, or not at all.
