ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

1. If current human development does not change, will groundwater sustainability be affected? Explain your observations.

2. What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake creating a physical barrier like a canyon?

3. Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO₂ emissions in the data over the past 40 years? Why?

4. Given that the current 2 primary sources of electricity generation are coal and nuclear power plants, which of these sources is better for human sustainability?

5. Why do you see increases and decreases in the invasive species population? What are the implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole?
