Question

4 multiple choice 2 points what is the primary goal of transitioning to renewable energy sources in the context of climate change? accelerate deforestation reduce dependence on fossil fuels enhance the greenhouse effect increase greenhouse gas emissions 5 multiple choice 2 points which technology uses sensors and real - time monitoring for adaptive responses? greenhouse gas meters early warning systems renewable energy systems smart technologies 6 multiple choice 2 points how does climate change affect ecosystems and biodiversity? it has no impact on biodiversity it promotes the health and diversity of ecosystems it disrupts ecosystems and leads to the loss of biodiversity it only affects plants, not animal species

Explanation:

• For question 4: Renewable energy sources are alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing dependence on them helps combat climate change. Deforestation (A) is bad for the environment. Enhancing the greenhouse effect (C) and increasing greenhouse gas emissions (D) are negative impacts related to climate change, not goals of transitioning to renewables.
• For question 5: Smart technologies use sensors and real - time monitoring to adapt. Greenhouse gas meters (A) measure emissions. Early warning systems (B) alert about potential disasters. Renewable energy systems (C) generate energy from renewable sources.
• For question 6: Climate change causes habitat loss, changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. These disrupt ecosystems. It is known that climate change has a significant impact on biodiversity (so A is wrong). It does not promote the health of ecosystems (B is wrong). And it affects both plants and animals (D is wrong).

Answer:

1. B. Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
2. D. Smart technologies
3. C. It disrupts ecosystems and leads to the loss of biodiversity
