calla designs a model to test how the use of different combinations of energy resources would affect global temperatures. which of these combinations is likely to produce the lowest increase in temperature in her model?
a. nuclear fission and coal
b. oil and hydroelectric
c. geothermal and wind
d. natural gas and solar

Explanation:

Geothermal and wind are both renewable energy sources that produce little to no greenhouse - gas emissions during operation. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels that release large amounts of carbon dioxide when burned, contributing to global warming. Hydroelectric power has a relatively lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels but geothermal and wind are among the cleanest in terms of not adding significant heat - trapping gases to the atmosphere.

Answer:

C. Geothermal and wind
