Chapter 1 Questions With Correct || || || || ||
Answers ||
1. Part A. About how many times larger was the global
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
ecological footprint in 2007 than it was in 1962?
|| || || || || || || ||
2
1. Part B. Which two statements are supported by the
|| || || || || || || || || ||
data in the graph?
|| || ||
In 1970, we began to overshoot Earth's capacity to
|| || || || || || || || ||
support us. ||
The global ecological footprint has generally increased
|| || || || || || ||
over time, with brief periods of decrease.
|| || || || || ||
2. Which of the following terms best describes the
|| || || || || || || || ||
practice of environmental science?
|| || ||
Integrative and interdisciplinary || ||
,3. Which of the following is the study of how the natural
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
world works, how our environment affects us, and how we
|| || || || || || || || ||
affect our environment?
|| || ||
Environmental Science ||
4. A(n) __________ expresses environmental impact in
|| || || || || || ||
terms of the cumulative area of land and water required
|| || || || || || || || || ||
to provide the resources a person consumes.
|| || || || || ||
ecological footprint ||
5. Which of the following could be depleted if overused?
|| || || || || || || || ||
fresh water
||
6. Part A. According to the graph with the linear scale, the
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
population reached 8 billion individuals after
|| || || || || || ||
approximately _____ generations. || ||
900
6. Part B: According to the graph with the logarithmic
|| || || || || || || || || ||
scale, after 200 generations the population had
|| || || || || ||
, 1000 individuals ||
6. Part C. Comparing the graphs with the linear and
|| || || || || || || || || ||
logarithmic scales at 400 generations shows that: || || || || || ||
Although you cannot read the exact value from the linear-
|| || || || || || || || ||
scale graph, the population size is the same, just shown
|| || || || || || || || || ||
with different scales.
|| ||
6. Part D: Suppose that the initial population was 10, but
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
the growth rate was 5% (instead of 2.3%). How would the
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
linear-scale graph differ? || ||
The linear graph would show rapid population growth
|| || || || || || || ||
beginning at an earlier generation. || || || ||
6. Part E: Suppose that the initial population was 10, but
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
the growth rate was 5% (instead of 2.3%). How would the
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
logarithmic-scale graph differ? || ||
The logarithmic graph line would have a greater slope
|| || || || || || || || ||
than the graph shown.
