Carbon dioxide and methane as greenhouse gases
Question
- A. By stabilizing temperatures
- B. By causing species extinction
- C. By increasing biodiversity
- D. By reducing carbon emissions
Answer
The correct option is By causing species extinction. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to describe possible effects of global climate change, including changes in rainfall patterns in the subtopic Global climate change.
Explanation
The correct option is By causing species extinction. By causing species extinction is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe possible effects of global climate change, including changes in rainfall patterns. This belongs to the subtopic Global climate change within Carbon dioxide and methane as greenhouse gases, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Global climate change.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Rainfall Changes
Students often confuse changes in rainfall patterns with overall climate change, thinking that all areas will experience the same effects.
To fix this, students should study specific regional impacts of climate change on rainfall, understanding that some areas may experience increased rainfall while others may face drought.
