Question

46 when of the following statements explains the link between climate change and increased droughts?multiple choicedecreased precipitation results in less water available while increased temperatures lead to drier conditions.saltwater encroachment results in higher rates of evaporation, as salt water evaporates faster than fresh water.changes in precipitation coupled with increased condensation contribute to drought conditions.sea level rise as a result of climate change is responsible for droughts.

Explanation:

Climate change leads to decreased precipitation (less water available) and increased temperatures (drier conditions), which are key factors in droughts. Saltwater evaporation rate is not a main link. Increased condensation would not cause drought. Sea - level rise is not directly responsible for droughts.

Answer:

Decreased precipitation results in less water available while increased temperatures lead to drier conditions.
