Question

caila 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. natural gas and solar
b. geothermal and wind
c. nuclear fission and coal
d. oil and hydroelectric

Explanation:

Geothermal and wind are both renewable energy sources that produce little to no greenhouse - gas emissions during operation. Natural gas, coal, and oil are fossil fuels that release significant amounts of carbon dioxide when burned, contributing to global warming. Nuclear fission has a relatively low - carbon footprint during operation but has other environmental concerns. Renewable energy combinations like geothermal and wind are likely to cause the least increase in global temperatures.

Answer:

B. Geothermal and wind
