Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

In volcanic areas, some of the surface water percolates downward through the cracks and fissures present in the rocks and it eventually comes in contact with the deeper rocks, that are heated by the hot uprising magma. These are areas of shallow depth where the magma is at a much closer distance to the surface of the earth. This water then gets heated up by this heat flow, as a result of which the water becomes warm and less dense and rises upward. It then erupts at the surface, forming a hot-spring. These hot-springs are known as geysers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

The correct response will be Option B i.e Increase in

Strength of Hurricanes

As the air continues to warm due to climate change, hurricanes can hold more water vapor, producing more intense rainfall rates in a storm. Moreover, according to Knutson, most models show that climate change brings a slight increase in hurricane wind intensity.

<h3>Why are hurricanes increasing in strength?</h3>

Physics suggests that as the world warms, hurricanes and other tropical cyclones should get stronger, because warmer water provides more of the energy that fuels these storms. And climate simulations have long showed an increase in stronger hurricanes as warming continues
