Biology
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is - 4. a flash flood.

Most of the people in the world live on the coasts or very close to the coasts in the places with very low elevation. If the circumstances are right and something manages to trigger a sudden rise in the sea level, like an asteroid/meteorite impact on the poles, than it can very easily have a devastating effect on the humans.

If an asteroid/meteorite hits one of the poles, than in only few hours the sea level will rise significantly, and that will cause a flash flood, where there will be not enough time for the people to evacuate themselves, and most of the population will be directly influenced by it, thus causing hundreds of millions, if not over a billion deaths.

What effect does the increased temperature have on the ecology and distribution of plant species
Aliun [14]

Hello!

Higher temperature affects plants’ growth especially in temperate crops like wheat. It reduces the growth of shoots and roots in plants. This, in turn, results in a substantial reduction in the overall height of the plant. High air temperature can lead to dehydration and scorched leaves.

In general, the increase of temperature would cause a damage in ecology of a certain area as most plants would not be able to adapt to this change. This, in turn, will affect the distribution of such plant species as they would die off unless placed in an environment with more favorable conditions.
