If a region relies on a nonrenewable resource that is being depleted, which approach would best transition the economy to sustainability while considering social implications and maintaining biodiversity?
Implementing a gradual shift towards mixed renewable energy sources with job retraining programs and habitat conservation plans.
Expanding the extraction of alternative nonrenewable resources to temporarily boost the economy and employment rates.
Maintaining current consumption rates while investing in technology for eventual off-planet resource extraction solutions.
Providing subsidies for existing nonrenewable resource industries to increase immediate economic output and social stability.
Which practice is most likely to reduce habitat fragmentation while promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes?
Establishing wildlife corridors between isolated reserves.
Increasing the use of monocultures across farmlands.
Expanding suburban development into rural areas.
Implementing high-yield, intensive farming techniques.
What is a key difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?
Renewable resources are more economically viable.
Nonrenewable resources have a higher environmental impact.
Nonrenewable resources take a shorter time to form.
Renewable resources have an unlimited supply.

When assessing the sustainability of aquaculture as a means to provide renewable protein sources, which factor would be most critical in determining its long-term ecological viability?
The cost-effectiveness of aquaculture compared to traditional fishing methods.
The extent to which it can operate without disrupting natural aquatic ecosystems.
The ability for aquaculture to quickly adapt genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The rate at which aquaculture operations can expand to meet global food demand.

How does implementing a carbon tax influence the transition from nonrenewable to renewable resources for energy production?
It reduces government subsidies for fossil fuels without affecting investment in renewables.
The tax directly funds research into nuclear fusion as a primary future renewable resource.
It makes nonrenewable resource extraction more expensive, incentivizing investment in renewable technologies.
Carbon taxes decrease consumer demand for all types of energy, reducing overall consumption rates.
