Question

1. which of the following is most likely to cause droughts, wildfires, and melting glaciers?

tidal waves
intense earthquakes
rising global temperatures
hurricane season
none of these

Explanation:

Rising global temperatures lead to drier conditions (droughts), increase the likelihood of wildfires due to dry vegetation and higher heat, and cause glaciers to melt as the heat warms them. Tidal waves are large ocean waves usually caused by underwater disturbances like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions and don't directly cause the listed effects. Intense earthquakes are ground - shaking events and not the main cause of droughts, wildfires, or glacier melting. Hurricane season brings storms and heavy rainfall (not droughts).

Answer:

rising global temperatures
