which three ways save energy at home?

• use appliances that save energy.
• plant flowers in the garden.
• install a smart thermostat.
• fix gaps around windows and doors.

Explanation:

Question 11:

• Flooding may increase along ocean coasts: Global warming causes sea - level rise due to melting ice and thermal expansion of water, so coastal flooding can increase.
• Some places might not receive enough water: Global warming can alter precipitation patterns, leading to droughts in some regions.
• Crops might not grow well: Changes in temperature, water availability, and increased pests/diseases due to global warming can negatively impact crop growth.
• More fossil fuels may be produced: Global warming is largely caused by fossil fuel use, and there's no direct causal link where global warming would lead to more fossil fuel production. So this is incorrect.

• Use appliances that save energy: Energy - efficient appliances consume less electricity, thus saving energy at home.
• Plant flowers in the garden: Planting flowers in the garden is mainly for aesthetic or horticultural purposes and does not directly save energy at home.
• Install a smart thermostat: A smart thermostat can optimize heating and cooling, reducing energy consumption.
• Fix gaps around windows and doors: Sealing gaps prevents heat loss (in winter) or heat gain (in summer), reducing the energy needed for heating or cooling.

Answer:

• Flooding may increase along ocean coasts.
• Some places might not receive enough water.
• Crops might not grow well.
