Answer 1

Name of five observed and/or potential consequences of global warming are listed below:

Global warming is the rise of earth's average temperature. Which directly affects the climatic condition of the Earth. There are so many consequences of this rising temperature.

1) Extreme weather conditions, summer get warmer and winter become cooler.

2) Melting of glacial ice sheets. Ice sheets present in the polar regions of the Earth are melting.

3) Rise of sea level and submerge of coastal plains. Due to melting of ice sheets, there is addition of water in the seas and this leads to the rise of sea level. And rising sea levels leads to the submergence of the coastal plains.

4) Affect on ecosystem and loss of biodiversity. Extinction of some species are associated with global warming. Because they are unable to survive in the changing weather condition.

5) Desertification and freshwater loss.

That's all.
