What can you infer?, It is near a plate boundary., It is near the equator., It has many rivers., It is above sea level., If two continental plates collide, what landform is most likely to form?, Ocean trench, Mountain range, Coral reef, Delta, Which action best reduces carbon emissions?, Using coal-fired electricity, Driving gasoline vehicles daily, Using renewable energy, Burning waste, Why should coastal communities prepare for climate change?, Increased risk of sea-level rise, More earthquakes, Less rainfall everywhere, Stronger gravity, Farmers notice that planting seasons have shifted. Which is the most likely explanation?, Plate movement, Climate change, Earth's rotation stopped, Lunar phases, Which technology helps monitor tectonic plate movement?, GPS satellites, Telescope, Microscope, Thermometer, Why are buildings in earthquake-prone areas designed differently?, To make them taller, To prevent flooding, To reduce rainfall, To resist ground shaking, Which community action best addresses climate change?, Increasing fossil fuel use, Expanding forests, Burning plastics, Removing parks, Which event demonstrates the interaction between plate tectonics and climate?, Earthquake-triggered tsunami affecting coastal ecosystems, Daily sunrise, Moon phases, Wind direction changes, Which is the best adaptation strategy for areas experiencing stronger typhoons?, Remove drainage systems, Build stronger infrastructure, Cut more trees, Increase urban flooding, A scientist observes increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and rising global temperatures.
