6 multiple choice 5 points trees are a renewable natural resource. which of the following industries found in virginia has the least need for trees? automobile manufacturing newspapers home construction landscaping fossil fuels require more expensive technology than renewable energy does renewable energy sources are more efficient than fossil fuels renewable energy sources produce fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels fossil fuels produce chemicals that destroy ozone and renewable energy doesnt

Explanation:

For the first question:

• Fossil fuels often have lower upfront tech costs than new renewable infrastructure, so the first option is incorrect.
• Fossil fuels are generally more energy-dense/efficient currently, so the second option is incorrect.
• Renewable energy sources (like solar, wind) produce far fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels, so this option is correct.
• Fossil fuels release pollutants that harm ozone, but renewables can also have associated chemical impacts in production, so the fourth option is incorrect.

For the second question:

• Automobile manufacturing relies on steel, plastics, etc., not trees as a core input.
• Newspapers use wood pulp from trees.
• Home construction uses lumber from trees.
• Landscaping directly uses trees for outdoor design.

Thus, automobile manufacturing has the least need for trees.

Answer:

First question: Renewable energy sources produce fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuels
Second question: Automobile manufacturing
