Question

select the correct answer. many crops have specific temperature requirements for them to grow well in a region. which of the following best illustrates the impact of climate change on crops? a. some crop varieties will not tolerate the changes in temperature and predicted changes in water availability b. climate change will improve crop conditions overall and allow most places to continue raising the same types of plants. c. climate change will only impact crop growth in the tropics, where sunlight is most direct. d. only wheat and rice will be affected by climate change since they have very specific growth conditions. reset next

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Since many crops have specific temperature requirements, changes in climate (temperature and water availability) can make some crop varieties unable to tolerate these changes, which aligns with the impact of climate change on crops.
• Option B: Climate change generally disrupts crop conditions rather than improving them overall for most places to keep growing the same plants.
• Option C: Climate change impacts crop growth globally, not just in the tropics.
• Option D: Climate change affects many crops, not just wheat and rice.

Answer:

A. Some crop varieties will not tolerate the changes in temperature and predicted changes in water availability
