Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The increase in the exploitation of Earth's resources began with the 400 human population increase.
The growth of the human population magnified the exploitation when the economic activity per person
rose. Information can be found in the section Marine Resources Are Subject to the Economic Laws of
Supply and Demand.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The deep sediments are older and hotter than the shallow layers. This tends to cause the deeper layers
to have higher proportions of oil and gas due to favorable conditions. Information can be found in the
section Physical Resources.
