Section XI-9775 - Human Sustainability

A. Explain the relationship between human activity (e.g., population size, where humans live, types of crops grown) and changes in the amounts of natural resources using evidence.

B. Explain the relationship between human activity (e.g., population size, where humans live, types of crops grown) and changes in the occurrence of natural hazards using evidence.

C. Identify a solution that demonstrates the most preferred cost-benefit ratios for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources (i.e., conservation, recycling, and reuse of resources).

D. Compare design solutions for developing, managing, and/or utilizing energy or mineral resources.

E. Use numerical data to determine the effects of a conservation strategy to manage natural resources and to sustain human society and plant and animal life.

F. Connect a technological solution (e.g., wet scrubber; baghouse) to its outcome (e.g., clean air) and its outcome to the human activity impact that it is reducing (e.g., air pollution).

G. Use geoscience data to determine the relationship between a change in climate (e.g., precipitation, temperature) and its impact in a region.

H. Use representations to describe the relationships among Earth systems and how those relationships are being modified due to human activity (e.g., increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, increase in ocean acidification, effects on organisms in the ocean (coral reef), carbon cycle of the ocean, possible effects on marine populations).
