Question

9 multiple choice 1 point biodiversity is greatest in the northern latitudes desert biomes polar regions tropics 10 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is not a threat to biodiversity? habitat fragmentation overharvesting habitat loss sustainable fisheries 11 multiple choice 1 point what is one pragmatic reason for preserving the earths rainforests? because they cause most of the rain in the world because without these areas, all life on earth would go extinct because their biodiversity could lead to the discovery of new medicines because humans depend on these regions for much of their food supply 12 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is a biblical argument in favor of consuming fewer resources? we may hasten the lords return. we may produce less carbon dioxide. we may be preserving resources for use by our fellow humans who live in less economically favorable conditions.

Explanation:

• Question 9: Biodiversity is greatest in the tropics due to stable warm climate, high rainfall, and complex ecosystems.
• Question 10: Sustainable fisheries manage fish populations to avoid depletion, so it is not a threat. Habitat fragmentation, overharvesting, and habitat loss reduce biodiversity.
• Question 11: Rainforest biodiversity can lead to new medicine discovery (e.g., compounds from plants). They don't cause most rain (oceans do), life won't go extinct without them, and humans don't depend on them for most food.
• Question 12: Preserving resources for less - economically - favorable humans is a biblical - like sharing and stewardship concept. Hastening the Lord's return is not a resource - consumption - related argument, and producing less carbon dioxide is more of an environmental (not specifically biblical) argument.

Answer:

1. Tropics
2. Sustainable fisheries
3. Because their biodiversity could lead to the discovery of new medicines
4. We may be preserving resources for use by our fellow humans who live in less economically favorable conditions.
