Question

which of the following is expected to decrease due to climate change?
a. freshwater
b. flooding
c. temperatures
d. sea levels

Explanation:

Climate change leads to increased global temperatures, which causes more evaporation, melting of glaciers (a source of freshwater), and changes in precipitation patterns that often reduce available freshwater. Flooding (due to sea - level rise and extreme weather), temperatures (global warming), and sea levels (due to ice melting and thermal expansion) are expected to increase, not decrease.

Answer:

A. Freshwater
