which of the following is a consequence of high energy consumption from non - renewable sources?
a. it has no effect on marine biodiversity

Explanation:

1. Human activities like deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture directly destroy natural habitats.
2. Air pollutants (e.g., particulate matter, ozone) irritate respiratory systems, causing health issues.
3. Deforestation reduces carbon absorption, and carbon emissions increase greenhouse gases, both driving global warming.
4. Smog forms from pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide reacting in sunlight.
5. Overfishing depletes marine species, and habitat destruction (e.g., coral reef damage) reduces marine biodiversity.
6. Inter-generational equity and sustainable choices ensure resources are available for future generations.

Answer:

1. b. Via activities like deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture

3. d. Contribute to global warming and alter climate patterns
4. a. Particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide
5. b. Overfishing and habitat destruction
6. b. Inter-generational equity and sustainable choices
