A major environmental problem caused by using the agricultural practice of tilling is...

eutrophication from excessive fertilizer use

ozone depletion from fossil fuel use

intercropping by traditional farmers

compaction of soil from adding compost

Which of the following scenarios best explains the concept of the tragedy of the commons?

Fish are shared resources; as industry competes for fish, the resources are depleted.

Fish farming produces fish through selective breeding to produce a cheap source of protein.

A collapse of the fishing industry leads to a loss of fishing-related jobs.

A decline in fish populations cause declines in fish predators, affecting the entire food chain.
