Answer Explanations
1. The answer is C, because biocentric values all life, ecocentric values all of the ecosystem, and instrumental is not a world view- it is a
la
type of value.
tz
2. The answer is B, because non-renewable resources are things whose supplies are infinite or not replenished in a timely fashion. All of the
sh
other choices are classified under “social traps”
Sp
3. The answer is A, because answer choice B is biodiversity, answer choice D are social traps, and answer choice C is triple-bottom line.
ne
4. The answer is A, because petroleum is a fossil fuel, which is a non-renewable resource. The other choices listed are all abundant.
5. The answer is True, because Jared Diamond he identified five factors in particular that determine whether any given society will succeed
la
or fail: natural climate change, failure to respond properly to environmental changes, self-inflicted environmental damage, hostile
neighbors, and loss of friendly neighbors.
sh
6. The answer is C, because the definition of empirical science is in answer choice C, applied science is in choice A, and environmental
Sp
science is answer B, and environmental literacy is choice D.
ne
7. The answer is True, because simply forgetting about status and switching from cow to fish could have saved the Vikings. Fish were much
more abundant, didn’t take time and energy to maintain, and did not overgraze their farmland like the cows did, eventually causing their
la
demise.
tz
8. The answer is D, because environmental science relies on a range of applied sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
sh
Sp
9. The answer is False, because McGovern studied the garbage heaps and found the marrow had been sucked from the bones of food that
ne
was eaten by the Vikings. This symbolized starvation and desperation of food.
10. The answer is C, the Vikings vanished because they refused to change their ways and fell victim to environmental changes caused by
la
natural causes due to their stubbornness.
