Responses
changes in the growing season
changes in the growing season
a decrease in severe storms
a decrease in severe storms
decreasing temperatures
decreasing temperatures
less floods and droughts
A B C D?
A B
The effects of climate change include:
A. Changes in the growing season.
B. A decrease in severe storms.
C. Decreasing temperatures.
D. Less floods and droughts.
So, the correct responses are A, B, C, and D.
To determine the effects of climate change from the given options, we can go through each response and evaluate if it is an effect of climate change.
A) Changes in the growing season: Climate change can impact the length and timing of the growing season for plants. This is an effect of climate change.
B) A decrease in severe storms: Climate change is generally associated with an increase in extreme weather events, including severe storms. Therefore, a decrease in severe storms is not commonly considered a direct effect of climate change.
C) Decreasing temperatures: Climate change is predominantly characterized by rising global temperatures over time. While there may be localized variations, in general, temperatures are expected to increase rather than decrease due to climate change. Therefore, decreasing temperatures are not typically considered a direct effect of climate change.
D) Less floods and droughts: Climate change is known to intensify the frequency and severity of floods and droughts in many regions. Therefore, "less floods and droughts" is also not considered an effect of climate change.
Based on the above analysis, the effects of climate change from the given options are:
- Changes in the growing season (effect of climate change)
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
