Question

Alicia is a resident of the maldives, a chain of low-lying islands in the indian ocean. she is planning to buy a car. her friend jerome has advised her to buy a fuel-efficient car that runs on compressed natural gas rather than gasoline or diesel. jerome informed alicia that co2 emissions from cars pose a serious threat to the island they call home. arrange the items in the correct order to predict how co2 emissions from vehicles could damage the maldives. co2 traps heat and warms the atmosphere. sea levels rise. ice and snow in polar regions melts. fossil fuels burned to run vehicles release co2. the island floods with seawater. large amounts of freshwater flow into the ocean. the global surface temperature increases. human life, buildings, and infrastructure are at risk.

Answer 1

This problem is based on the Greenhouse effect.

CO2 is one of the Greenhouse gases.

Gasoline and diesel cars gasoline burns fossil fuel and produce a lot of CO2 increasing the Greenhouse effect.

The sentences of the statement for the this case may be ordered to describe very well what happens with the fossil fuels and their effect in the planet.

This is the right order:

1) fossil fuels burned to run vehicles release co2
 
2) CO2 traps heat and warms the atmosphere.

3) The global surface temperature increases

4)  ice and snow in polar regions melts.

5) large amounts of freshwater flow into the ocean

6) sea levels rise.

7) the island floods with seawater.

8)  human life, buildings, and infrastructure are at risk.

Answer 2

This is the right order:

1) fossil fuels burned to run vehicles release co2

 

2) CO2 traps heat and warms the atmosphere.

3) The global surface temperature increases

4)  ice and snow in polar regions melts.

5) large amounts of freshwater flow into the ocean

6) sea levels rise.

7) the island floods with seawater.

8)  human life, buildings, and infrastructure are at risk.
