Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.95 Climate, Energy, Environment, and Regional Change skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A final synthesis prompt asks students to connect climate change, energy policy, natural disasters, environmental justice, and regional migration since 1980. Which thesis best fits the standard?

AClimate, energy, disasters, and migration should be studied separately because they affect different regions.

BRegional differences disappeared after 1980 because national policy made all places identical.

CNatural disasters can be studied without considering infrastructure, land use, or public policy.

DEnvironmental change and energy choices have reshaped regional economies, settlement patterns, public policy, and inequality in contemporary America.

Solution & Explanation:The thesis synthesizes the standard by linking environment, energy, regions, policy, disasters, and inequality over time.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A historian compares the Clean Air Act's regulatory limits, fuel-economy standards, state renewable portfolio standards, and federal clean-energy tax credits. Which continuity and change claim is best?

AEnvironmental policy has never involved any level of government after 1980.

BTax credits and regulatory limits are the same tool with different names.

CGovernment has continued to shape environmental outcomes, while tools shifted among regulation, standards, state mandates, and incentives.

DState governments play no role when federal agencies regulate pollution.

Solution & Explanation:The examples show continuity in public policy involvement and change in the mix of policy instruments used.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the solar-resource and demand-center map. The strongest solar resources appear in the Southwest, while the largest electricity demand centers appear on both coasts and in the Midwest. Which planning issue does this create?

ASolar panels cannot produce electricity in the Southwest.

BThe best generation sites may be far from major demand centers, requiring transmission and regional coordination.

CDemand centers never need electricity from outside their city limits.

DRegional coordination is unnecessary because electricity is not shared through grids.

Solution & Explanation:The map highlights a spatial mismatch between renewable resources and demand, a central issue in grid planning.
