Question 8

The __________ exert significant influence on the world's climates.

Accepted Answer

Oceans play a major role in regulating the Earth's temperature by absorbing and releasing heat, and transporting heat and moisture around the world through ocean currents. They also influence the amount of atmospheric moisture through evaporation and precipitation. Planets and tectonic plates do not directly affect the Earth's climate, and the influence of sunspots on the climate is a topic of scientific debate.

Question 9

Question 14

An increase in __________ has also increased the demand on the environment.

Accepted Answer

An increase in population has led to a greater demand for resources, which in turn has placed a greater strain on the environment. With more people requiring food, water, energy, and other goods and services, the natural systems that support life on Earth are being depleted at an alarming rate. This includes everything from forests, rivers, and oceans to the air we breathe and the climate that sustains us.

Question 17

With the mass production of goods and advancements in technology,there was a major shift in __________.

Accepted Answer

The mass production of goods and advancements in technology led to a major shift in human labor, as machines and assembly lines became the dominant means of producing goods, reducing the need for manual labor. This shift had significant impacts on the workforce, labor laws, and the economy as a whole. Fishing, medical care, and religious practices may have been impacted by these changes, but the most significant shift was in the realm of human labor. Therefore, A is the best choice.
