To answer the first question, we can look at the given options: A) the birth rate, B) the death rate, C) the infant mortality rate, and D) rapid population growth. We need to determine which of these options is a negative effect of using up resources.
First, let's understand the meaning of "using up resources". This phrase refers to the depletion or consumption of natural resources such as water, energy, minerals, and forests, among others.
Looking at the options, we can see that options A, C, and D are indirectly related to resource consumption, as they involve factors that influence population growth. The birth rate, infant mortality rate, and rapid population growth can certainly put pressure on resources, but they are not direct negative effects of using up resources.
On the other hand, option B, the death rate, is more directly related to the negative effects of resource consumption. Increased resource depletion can lead to increased death rates due to factors such as food scarcity, lack of clean water, and inadequate healthcare, among others. Therefore, the correct answer is B) the death rate.
Moving on to the second question, we need to determine what is measured by the Prime Meridian and other imaginary north-south lines. The options are A) longitude, B) latitude, C) cardinal directions, and D) intermediate directions.
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that passes through Greenwich, London, and serves as the reference line for measuring longitude. Therefore, the Prime Meridian measures longitude.
Latitude, on the other hand, refers to the imaginary east-west lines that measure the distance from the equator. It is not measured by the Prime Meridian.
Cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West) represent the four main points in a compass, and intermediate directions refer to the points that fall between the main cardinal directions. These concepts are not directly related to the Prime Meridian or other north-south lines.
Hence, the correct answer is A) longitude.
