Forests capture and store water and can play an important role in providing drinking water for millions of people in cities,villages and towns.Forest contribute to the reduction of water-related problems like floods by absorbing water through their roots and storing it in the ground.
The correct answers are:
- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;
Because of the rise of the temperatures, the permafrost, glaciers, and polar ice caps would mostly melt. As they melt, they will increase the sea levels significantly because they will introduce much more water into the the seas and oceans.
- Wildlife would have to migrate or die;
With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.
- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;
Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.
A dome mountain is formed
Regional volcanism is associated with mountain building.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mountain building which is also known as the orogeny is the geological process such as movement of tectonic plates and volcanic activities because of which the mountains are formed by the pressure on the earth's crust when the plates collide.
So the occurring of volcanoes in a particular region along the plate boundaries where there is some movement in the tectonic plates might result in the formation of a mountain.
