Question
- based on the information obtained from figure 1, students asked why these changes to lake chad took place. from the maps on figure 2, which piece of evidence is most accurate in helping answer that question? the maps showing a decrease in temperature over time the maps showing an increase in temperature over time the maps showing an increase in precipitation over time the maps showing a decrease in precipitation over time
Brief Explanations
A decrease in precipitation over time would lead to less water entering Lake Chad, which can cause changes such as shrinking of the lake area. Higher temperatures can increase evaporation but a decrease in temperature would not typically cause the kind of changes observed in Lake Chad. An increase in precipitation would add more water and not explain negative - changes.
