What immediate hazard is likely to occur if the temperature of the earth rises by 5?C?
Correct answer: D. Melting of polar ice
- A. Increase in productivity
- B. Destruction of phytoplanktons
- C. Inundation of coastal towns
- D. Melting of polar ice
Explanation
A 5°C global rise would rapidly threaten frozen regions, making melting of polar ice an immediate hazard. Coastal inundation would follow as a major consequence of ice melt and thermal expansion, but it is less immediate.
