1. more building construction is needed to provided for the needs of people
2. sea level is rising
3.coal
4. it is absorbed and heats the atmosphere
5.many people and live in small spaces, such as rises on cities
6.consequeneces increase in sizes and scales and becomes longer lasting
7.increase size of gray areas

I apologize for the confusion. Here are the answers for all 12 questions:
1. What led to the increase in steel consumption seen on the graph?
Answer: More building construction is needed to provide for the needs of people.
2. What is causing the sea level to rise?
Answer: Sea level is rising due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps and the thermal expansion of ocean waters caused by global warming.
3. What fossil fuel is the primary source of carbon dioxide emissions?
Answer: Coal is the primary source of carbon dioxide emissions.
4. What happens to the carbon dioxide that humans release into the atmosphere?
Answer: It is absorbed and heats the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
5. What is one reason why there is a high population density in many cities?
Answer: Many people can live in small spaces, such as high-rise buildings, in cities.
6. What are some consequences of urban development?
Answer: Consequences include an increase in sizes and scales of impacts and the fact that they become longer-lasting.
7. What is the impact of increasing the size of gray areas, such as roads and parking lots, in urban areas?
Answer: Increasing the size of gray areas reduces the amount of green space and natural habitats in urban areas.
8. How does covering the ground with concrete and pavement affect ecosystems?
Answer: It can reduce infiltration of rainwater into the ground, increase runoff, and reduce groundwater recharge, leading to the degradation of ecosystems.
9. Explain why nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels, can become more expensive over time.
Answer: Because of the rapidly growing population, there is more demand for resources, but if the demand rises rapidly or too quickly, then that causes the resource prices to rise. Nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels prices increase a lot.
10. Name and describe one way to save water.
Answer: There are a few ways to save water. One is instead of having the water on while brushing your teeth, you should turn it off to save water. You can take 3-5 minute showers, and try not to pour out water from your water bottle.
11. What is an ecological footprint? How can it be reduced?
Answer: Ecological footprint refers to the impact of human activities on the environment. To reduce it, we can adopt more sustainable practices, such as reducing resource use, reducing waste and pollution, and being more mindful of our actions.
12. Explain what is meant by the term "sustainable development."
Answer: Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In other words, it aims to balance economic growth with environmental and social considerations to ensure a sustainable future.
