Environments likely to be characterized by the presence of dry scrubs and frequent wildfires are those that lack the presence of rain and suffer high sunlight hours.
When referring to the terrestrial biomes that meet the characteristics described, we can include:
- <u>Temperate grasslands</u>
- <u>Cold deserts</u>
The temperate grassland/cold desert biomes have:
- cold and dry winters
- hot, dry summers
- Extended sunlight hours
This biome is very dry, and the harsh weather makes it difficult for plants to grow, leading to their <em>dry scrub</em> characteristic. This biome also experiences frequent wildfires due to the <u>intense sunlight and lack of rain to which it is exposed.</u>

Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.
No, it is usually caused my moving water, such as heavy rain or rivers or oceans.
A, B, and C make no sense
A makes no sense because Methane is lighter than air, and so the Methane would stay higher in the atmosphere, so it would not seep into the ground, it would remain in the air.
B makes no sense because Burning fossil fuels causes air pollution by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. the only way that carbon dioxide could pollute water is if it is combined on a molecular level, plus carbon dioxide does not inhibit the process of water being evaporated by the sun.
C also makes no sense because Deforestation causes acid rain by increasing carbon dioxide not decreasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
so therefore by elimination your answer is D
