Answer:

While droughts can have different causes depending on the area of the world and other natural factors, the majority of scientists have started to link more intense droughts to climate change. That’s because as more greenhouse gas emissions are released into the air, causing air temperatures to increase, more moisture evaporates from land and lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. Warmer temperatures also increase evaporation in plant soils, which affects plant life and can reduce rainfall even more. And when rainfall does come to drought-stricken areas, the drier soils it hits are less able to absorb the water, increasing the likelihood of flooding – a lose-lose situation.

Explanation:

Droughts are among the most expensive weather-related disasters in the world (pdf), affecting ecosystems, agriculture and human society.

Which of the following best describes the outcome of the bay of pigs invasion?
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is d. it was a failure that was an embarrassment for the Kennedy administration. It was not only a complete military fiasco, it was a political debacle as the USA appeared to the world as aggressors and prompted the Soviets to increase their military aid to Cuba which would ultimately turn into the Cuban Missile Crisis barely a year later. The attempted invasion unified and solidified Cuban communists and radicalized Castro against the USA. Public opinion in most of Central and South America was that Americans were hypocrites who would parrot words as democracy, sovereignty and peaceful cooperation and then spearhead an invasion of reactionary, right-wing elements to a smaller Caribbean nation.
