b. increased slowly
c. increased exponentially
d. decreased exponentially

1. which human activity would preserve nonrenewable resources?

a. recycling
b. deforestation
c. eating homes with fossil fuels
d. removing carnivores from a forest

1. increased industrialization will most likely...

a. decrease global warming
b. decrease available habitats
c. increase the stability of ecosystems
d. increase environmental carrying capacity

Explanation:

• For question 12, human population has been growing exponentially in recent years due to factors like improved healthcare and technology.
• For question 13, recycling helps conserve non - renewable resources by reusing materials instead of depleting new ones. Deforestation, using fossil fuels for heating, and removing carnivores are not related to preserving non - renewable resources.
• For question 14, increased industrialization often leads to habitat destruction as land is used for factories and infrastructure, thus decreasing available habitats. It generally increases global warming, decreases ecosystem stability, and does not increase environmental carrying capacity.

Answer:

1. c. Increased exponentially
2. a. Recycling
3. b. Decrease available habitats
