Answer:

Climate change is a global phenomenon. The intensity of the impacts will vary across the globe. For example, in the low lying islands, sea level rise will be the obvious impact, cause the water wells/bores to become salty. This will also pose threat for crops and plants to grow. For larger islands and continents(as is for South Africa), increasing temperature will lead to prolonged dry season and drought. Also frequency of rainy season leading to flooding. In similar context, will also affect food production.

Back to the question, how were you going to solve the problem? This is a tough question that have challenged scientists, academics, policy makers and the ordinary citizens like us for decades now. There are two words commonly used when dealing with impacts of climate change, Adaptation and mitigation.

For adaptation, one have to look on tangible solutions to response to the impacts. Example for salt water killing crops, plant crops that can withstand brackish water. This is only an example.

For mitigation, this is what our leaders have been discussing during the COP conferences. To reduce the amount of greenhouse as including CO2 pumped into the atmosphere by industries.

So the question, both adaptation and mitigation measure will have to be adopted. But you cannot solve the problem, only adapted to the changes.

A. map

Explanation:

A map is a projection that is used to represent real life phenomenon on a two dimensional surface.

A project of the Gulf of Mexico showing currents and water depth would be a map.

Maps are very good descriptive resources for delineating surface and even subsurface features.

Weather maps usually cover current patterns in the world.

Water depth in places can also be presented using water depth maps too.

Which of the following scenarios best describes how the Hawaiian Islands formed in the Pacific Ocean? View Available Hint(s) Whi
pogonyaev

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
