- BCarbon dioxide
- CNitrogen
- DHelium
Q2:
Which of the following are examples of water pollution?

- BChemicals from power plants
- CAnimal waste from farms
- DAll of the above
Q3:
How can wind turbines damage the environment?
- AThe propellers can kill birds.
- BThe air around them is heated.
- CThey emit greenhouse gases.
- DThe habitat below them is destroyed.
Q4:
Greenhouse gases can trap the Sun’s heat, causing the atmosphere to warm. Which is an example of a greenhouse gas?
- ACarbon dioxide
- BHydrogen
- CHelium
- DOxygen
Q5:
Some fish migrate upstream in a river to lay their eggs. Below is a dam. What impact does a dam have on fish?
- AIt provides food for the fish.
