CODE 1023 - FINAL M.C EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Challenges of adopting sustainable development - ANS Competing economic priorities, lack
of political will, limited resources, and conflicts between short-term economic growth and long-
term environmental protection.
Atmosphere contains - ANS 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, ~0.04% CO₂, plus
trace gases.
Comparing Canada's rate of consumption - ANS Canada consumes far more resources per
person than the global average, leading to higher environmental impact.
Cattle pollution - ANS Livestock release methane (CH₄), a greenhouse gas that contributes to
climate change.
Physical evidence for climate change - ANS Melting glaciers/sea ice, rising sea levels,
increasing temperatures, shifting seasons, extreme weather.
Human activity and climate change - ANS Burning fossil fuels (>70% of CO₂ increase),
deforestation, agriculture, transportation.

, Classic definition of sustainable development - ANS Meeting present needs without
compromising future generations' abilities to meet theirs.
Contributors to global climate change - ANS CO₂, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs, tropospheric
ozone.
Goals to attain environmental sustainability - ANS Reduce pollution, conserve biodiversity,
transition to clean energy, circular economy practices.
Relationship between consumption and environmental degradation - ANS Higher
consumption → greater pollution, resource depletion, and environmental stress.
Strategies to eradicate poverty - ANS Improve education access, empower women,
sustainable agriculture, economic opportunity, reduced inequality.
Expansionist world view - ANS Assumes infinite resources and prioritizes economic growth
over environmental limits.
Human population and exponential growth - ANS Human population grows exponentially
when birth rates exceed death rates.
Major factors affecting local climate - ANS Latitude, solar radiation, altitude, proximity to
water, topography, ocean currents.
Causes of enhanced greenhouse gases - ANS Fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, industrial
agriculture, transportation.
