C. Coal

What happens to infrared radiation released by the earth if there is an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? A. It is converted to solar energy B. It is absorbed and heats the atmosphere. C. it escapes and cools the atmosphere. D. It is converted to carbon dioxide.

B. It is absorbed and heats the atmosphere.

With such increases in population, why has there not been a direct and equivalent to increase in urban development (i.e., why is it such a small proportion of habitable land use)? A. There is not enough habitable land left for further urban development.

B. Urban development requires infrastructure and resources that may not be readily available or accessible in all areas.

not an answer

My apologies for the previous response. The correct answer is:

B. Urban development requires infrastructure and resources that may not be readily available or accessible in all areas. Additionally, there are often regulations and restrictions on urban development to protect natural habitats, agricultural land, and to control population density and urban sprawl.

A. There is not enough habitable land left for further urban development.

B. people want to live close to where they work, which is usually the city or suburbs.

C. Many people can live in small spaces, such as high rises in cities.

All of the options provided can be valid reasons for why there may not be a direct and equivalent increase in urban development despite population growth. The choice of which reason is most applicable may depend on specific circumstances and locations.
