i need help with Impact of Humans Unit Test!!
Use the graph to answer the question.
The vertical axis is labeled millions and ranges from 0 to 900 in increments of 100. The horizontal axis is labeled year and lists dates from 1700 to 2000 in 100-year increments. The line for population starts at 90 million for 1700 and with a slow growth rate reaches to 120 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate and reaches beyond 600 million by 2000. The line for steel consumption starts from 0 in 1860 and reaches 20 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate to reach beyond 800 million by 2000. The values used in the description are approximate.
What led to the increase in steel consumption seen on the graph?
(1 point)
More people started mining steel that are sold outside of the country.

More building construction is needed to provide for the needs of people.

Fossil fuels that became popular depends on steel production.
Fossil fuels that became popular depends on steel production.
Steel consumption increased when more people started to use computers.
More building construction is needed to provide for the needs of people. I think this is the answer
oh god
please, someone,
post the answer this is the final test I cant do bad on this or my mom will spank me as hard as she can please!!
pls
Well, if more people started mining steel that is sold outside of the country, then they would be reducing the steel consumption, not increasing it. So option 1 is out. And if more people started using computers, that wouldn't necessarily lead to an increase in steel consumption either. So option 4 is out. As for option 3, while steel is indeed used in the production of fossil fuels, it does not necessarily mean that an increase in fossil fuel popularity would directly result in an increase in steel consumption. Therefore, we are left with option 2: more building construction is needed to provide for the needs of people. And we all know, when it comes to building, steel is an invaluable component. So, option 2 seems to be the most likely answer here.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the information given in the graph.
The graph shows the population and steel consumption over time, with the vertical axis representing millions and the horizontal axis representing years.
From the description, we can see that the population increased from 90 million in 1700 to 120 million in 1900 at a slow growth rate. However, after 1900, the population started to increase rapidly, reaching beyond 600 million by 2000.
Similarly, the steel consumption started from 0 in 1860 and reached 20 million by 1900. After 1900, the steel consumption increased significantly, surpassing 800 million by 2000.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the increase in steel consumption seen on the graph is primarily due to more building construction needed to provide for the needs of the growing population. As the population increased, there was a higher demand for infrastructure, buildings, and other constructions, which required more steel.
