Approximately 220 million tires are discarded in the U. S. each year. These tires present a disposal problem because they take up space, harbor pests, and have been known to catch fire. One tire can generate about 250,000 BTUs (1 BTU = 3 x 10 -4 kWh) when it is burned. The average American home consumes about 10,000 kWh of electricity per year. How many tires would be needed to meet the annual electricity demand of ten homes for one year if the production of electricity from tires is 50%

Which of the following situations would most likely occur if a human-induced event caused the ocean water to become the same temperature around the world? deep ocean current circulation would increase salt distribution around the world's oceans. surface ocean current circulation would distribute heat around land masses at a faster rate. new, fresher water would float on top of dense salt water and limit thermohaline circulation. some land masses in the northern hemisphere would start to warm up over time, melting snow and ice. runoff of surface freshwaters and rainfall would no longer have an effect on the salinity of ocean waters.
