Question

Which of these are a result of the phenomenon known as Global Climate Change? [Select all that apply]

Question 6 options:

	Animals will be found at higher elevations than they are currently
	Decreased soil pH from acidic rain
	More frequent occurrences of skin cancer because of decreases in atmospheric ozone
	An increase in deforestation
	A shift in where we find different species of fish in the oceans
	More severe weather like hurricanes and droughts

Answer 1

• these are a result of the phenomenon known as Global Climate Change:

• Animals will be found at higher elevations than they are currently.As temperatures increases further and reaches  more than average in higher latitudes and at higher elevations. Animals migrate from lower elevations could migrate to higher elevations as a result of Global climate change.
• More frequent occurrences of skin cancer because of decreases in atmospheric ozone. As the atmospheric ozone decreases the harmful rays like UV rays enters the earth which causes cancer.
• A shift in where we find different species of fish in the oceans. Global climate change increases the temperature in sea. Due to increase in temperature and current flow in the sea level will bring shift in distribution of marine fishes.
• More severe weather like hurricanes and droughts. Global climate change increases temperature in the sea level hence there is more moisture in the atmosphere which cause heavy rain and hurricanes. As the temperature increases, the warmer temperature can increase the evaporation. And the moisture in the soil also get evaporated making the land dry.
