Question

Which effects would many organisms likely experience if global warming occurs? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Disrupted food webs

increased competition

disrupted life-cycle events

forced relocation

Explanation:

Global warming refers to a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth due to the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which trap infrared radiation close to the earth.

This gradual increase in the temperature of the earth often have devastating effects on the lives of various organisms on earth. These effects include;

Disrupted food webs

increased competition

disrupted life-cycle events

forced relocation

Due to changes that occur in the ecosystem as a result of global warming, many species may be compelled to relocate from place to place. This in turn disrupts food webs and may lead to disruption of life cycle events of the concerned organisms. Decrease in the number of certain populations due to global warming may lead to increased competition among species for food.
