Answer
Increased frequency of extreme weather events
Explanation
The correct option is "Increased frequency of extreme weather events". Increased frequency of extreme weather events is right because it directly matches Environmental issues and energy decisions: Describe environmental impacts that arise from using fossil fuels.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Fossil Fuel Impacts
Students often describe fossil fuels only in terms of their energy output without mentioning the environmental impacts, such as pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
To fix this, students should focus on both the energy produced by fossil fuels and the negative environmental consequences associated with their use.
