Question

The worldwide use of cleaner energy sources could lead to which of the following results?

A)rise in ocean levels
B)reduction in acid rain
C)increased desertification in the Sahel
D)decreased desalinization plants in the Middle East

Answer 1

B. Reduction in acid rain 

Answer 2

The second alternative is correct (B).

The economic matrix in force in the world is based on the burning of fossil fuels, mainly petroleum, which releases amounts of CO2 and other gases in the ozone layer.

The acid rain is due to the exaggerated amount of products from the burning of fossil fuels released into the atmosphere. That is, human activities are mainly responsible for this phenomenon of acid rain.

Thus, the change to a clean energy matrix, using solar, wind and other energy, can result in a decrease in the phenomenon of acid rain.
