All Solutions
Section 9-6: Computer Modelling: Evidence that Human Activity is Causing Current Changes
Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 5
a) Human activity
Step 2
2 of 5
b) It is important to keep all variables constant other than one so that you can measure how one variable creates changes
Step 3
3 of 5
c) It would show that human activity has had no impact on temperature and climate since the activity caused no change
Step 4
4 of 5
d) It shows that human activity has led to climate change and global warming as average temperatures are rising
Result
5 of 5
a) Human activity
Exercise 2
Result
1 of 1
The figure shows that without human activity, the climate should not change much, but due to human activity it should. It shows that the climate is linked to human activity
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
a) No because usually it takes much longer for the change to occur, this change is happening very rapidly
Step 2
2 of 3
b) The change is occurring so rapidly and we haven’t seen such rapid change in the past so the Earth has not experienced the consequences of it yet.
Result
3 of 3
a) No because usually it takes much longer for the change to occur, this change is happening very rapidly
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
a) Quite well since they are used to relate fact and estimates
Step 2
2 of 3
I could research what it means by reading books or using a search engine
Result
3 of 3
a) Quite well since they are used to relate fact and estimates
