Answer:

B. Melting polar ice caps

Explanation:

The global climate change is one of the most popular themes in the past few decades. It is a natural process that has been constantly happening on Earth, with periods of cooling down, or periods of warming up. In more recent times, the humans also started to contribute slightly to this process with the emissions of the greenhouse gasses, which are making the atmosphere warmer.

With the temperatures gradually rising on global level, there are numerous changes occurring. One of the most noticeable changes is the melting of the polar ice caps. Little by little, the polar ice caps and the glaciers are melting, thus decreasing the area occupied by frozen surface on the planet.

While it is almost impossible for the entirety of the ice caps to melt down until there is a large land mass on the poles, or one of them, it is most certain that the ice caps will reduce significantly. If the trend continues it will probably be only the interior of Antarctica that will preserve an ice cap.

from the closest point on the seacoast.

-- The latitude at the northern end of the main runway at
Anchorage International Airport is 61.199° N.  That point is

Which single source of freshwater represents the largest volume of freshwater worldwide readily available to use by humans
Vsevolod [243]

The correct answer is - groundwater.

The freshwater is represented with only 3% of the total water reserves on the planet. Further more, most of the freshwater is actually frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the poles and their close proximity, and that water accounts for around 87%. The rivers and the lakes do provide freshwater, but they only account for 1% of the total freshwater reserves, not to mention the fact that big portion of them are heavily polluted and can not be used for drinking at all.

The groundwater though, is much less polluted, is easy to extract and to use, and it accounts for around 12% of the total freshwater reserves, which makes the prime candidate for usage.
