Answer:

A. higher temperatures

C. penguins losing their natural habitat

D. rising sea levels

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of more solar radiation on the surface of the earth than the normal level by certain gases. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Trapping solar radiation on the earth leads to increase in the earth's surface temperature. Polar ice begins to melt and more water is added to the ocean which can lead to rising sea levels and flooding of coastal cities. Ice caps will significantly diminish. As we know penguins are known to inhabit cold climates around the southern pole, if the polar ice in this region melts, their habitat becomes threatened.

What physical feature allowed settlers in the Fertile Crescent to grow crops? sea tides flooding rivers natural canals eroding m

Drupady [299]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Fertile Crescent is basically where human civilization started. It stretches from Mesopotamia and across the Mediterranean coast to Egypt. Early civilizations depended on agriculture. To make agriculture, you need a river because it is a good water source to help grow your crops.

If you look at the map I have provided below, you will see that there are tons of rivers. This would make it very easy for settlers to grow crops. This means that sea tides and eroding mountains aren't the answer. I don't think the rivers were flooding and natural canals is an oxymoron because canals are artificial waterways, but this all should give you and idea.

Have a wonderful day! :D
