Emission testing is required by federal law in areas that have had problems meeting health-based air quality standards. Such areas typically include industrialized urban areas and large cities. Supporters of this practice argue that all citizens benefit because vehicles with malfunctioning pollution control systems are identified. They also cite government data showing average failure rates of 10%. Critics of the testing argue that, of those vehicles that fail, 90% are vehicles 5 or more years old. A law has been placed on the ballot to save citizens money by no longer requiring vehicles less than 5 years old be tested unless they are obviously malfunctioning.Suppose the law passed. What is likely to happen to air quality in those areas where testing is required?
A. There should be little change to air quality. B. Air quality should improve a lot. C. Air quality should decline a lot.

Locate the dry gorge that circles around this half-circle-shaped hill. With the stereoscope, view this dry gorge on the left (north) side of the hill:
The question is based on Figure 32-3, a black-and-white stereogram, and color Maps T-20a and T-20b (in the back of the Lab Manual). These maps show the entrenched meanders of the Green River near Canyonlands National Park, Utah. A larger portion of this region is shown in color Map T-7 in the back of the Lab Manual. Begin by looking at the flat-topped, half-circle-shaped hill about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) from the bottom of the stereogram. (a) This dry gorge is approximately 2000 feet (about 600 meters) wide. Viewing the stereogram, approximately how deep does the gorge appear? As a starting point for your estimate, consider if the gorge appears deeper than it is wide, wider than it is deep, or equally deep and wide. (There is no correct answer for this question; base your answer on how things look to you.) Apparent depth __________ feet (b) Use the topographic map (Map T-20a) to determine the actual depth of the dry gorge (you can simply count the number of contour lines up the side of the gorge, and then multiply the number of contour lines by the contour interval). Actual depth __________ feet (c) Was your estimate in problem 2a far off? If so, why?
