Question

practice it! katy and todd were investigating human impact on global carbon emissions. they researched and gathered data from all over the world. they created the double line graph shown. which of the following identifies an appropriate conclusion based on the data provided? as the human population decreases, carbon emissions increase. the human population is in decline. therefore, there is no relation between population and carbon emissions. as the human population increases, carbon emissions decrease. more humans means that they are burning less fossil fuels, which releases carbon. human population and carbon emissions are unrelated. as the human population increases, so does the amount of carbon released. more humans means that they are burning more fossil fuels, which releases carbon.

Explanation:

By observing the double - line graph, as the human population (one line) increases over time, the global carbon emissions (the other line) also increase. This is because more humans generally lead to more consumption of fossil fuels which release carbon.

Answer:

As the human population increases, so does the amount of carbon released. More humans means that they are burning more fossil fuels, which releases carbon.
