Which of the following statements correctly explains the tectonic plate activity on the West Coast of the United States?

After reviewing personal footprint data, Student 5 decides to take action to lower his or her overall footprint by reducing money spent on shoes and clothing. Land use in which of the following categories will be most affected by this change?
Goods and Services
How would including a control group be useful in this experiment?
It would provide a reference for the effects of random environmental factors
Carbon dioxide equivalent is used to compare contributions to climate change of various greenhouse gases. A study at a farm calculated the carbon dioxide equivalent for different production stages for beef and chicken production. Which of the following statements is best supported by the data in graph?
Raising beef contributes more to greenhouse gases than raising chickens does, primarily as a result of fermentation in cows' digestive tracts, which releases methane gas
