Which of the following is a cause of extinction?
Agriculture
Habitat Fragmentation
Deforestation
All options are correct
There are many causes of extinction. Agriculture, habitat fragmentation, and deforestations are all causes of extinction.
Agriculture causes extinction by emitting toxins into the environment.
Habitat fragmentation causes extinction by changing an animals habitat. Usually, habitat fragmentation is caused by development breaking apart an animal's habitat.
Deforestation causes extinction by taking away animals's habitats. Deforestation is when forests are cut down.

Select the option that is an example of a renewable energy source.
Wind
Coal
Petroleum
Natural gas
Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are naturally replaced or energy sources that won't run out.
Wind is the only example of an energy source that won't run out and is the correct answer.

Select the type of force that is being described:
A student pushing the teacher's desk across the room.
Applied force
Gravity force
Normal force
Friction force
There are many types of forces, but our answer choices include four types. In order to answer this question correctly, we need to be able to decipher between them.
Applied force is a force that is applied by a person to an object.
Gravity force is also known as the weight of the object. It's the force that allows a large object to attract another object towards itself.
Normal force is also known as supportive force. It is the force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another object, one object holds the other up.
Friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object tries to moves across the surface.
Let's think about the scenario from the question. We have a student pushing a desk, which is an object, across the room. The student would have to apply some force to get the desk to move. Looking at the types of forces above, applied force fits this scenario best.
