read the text. then answer the question.

the consequences of global warming are
difficult to predict. but most scientists agree
that rising average temperatures will cause
major changes to earths climate patterns.
warmer average temperatures may affect
climate patterns in different parts of the world
differently. some places may experience drastic
increases or decreases in the amount of rainfall
or severity of storms. other places may even
experience colder temperatures, as warmer
temperatures in one region disrupt weather
patterns elsewhere. this wide range of changes
to earths climate is known as climate change.
which of the following are possible consequences of continued climate change? select all that
apply.

• more frequent flooding
• more intense droughts
• colder temperatures in some locations
• warmer average temperatures

Explanation:

The text mentions that rising average temperatures (which is related to climate change) can cause different consequences. It says some places may have drastic increases (which could lead to more frequent flooding if there is more rainfall) or decreases (which could lead to more intense droughts) in rainfall. It also states that other places may experience colder temperatures as warmer temperatures in one region disrupt weather patterns. And it starts by talking about rising average temperatures (warmer average temperatures) as a result of global warming (a part of climate change).

Answer:

more frequent flooding, more intense droughts, colder temperatures in some locations, warmer average temperatures
