Question

1 multiple choice 2 points why is building climate - resilient infrastructure important? to ignore the impacts of climate change to reduce the severity of climate - related events to promote unsustainable energy practices to increase energy consumption 2 multiple choice 2 points what is the primary consequence of an enhanced greenhouse effect? global warming cooling of the earth increased rainfall reduced solar radiation 3 multiple choice 2 points how does climate change contribute to ocean acidification? by absorbing excess carbon dioxide, making oceans less acidic by decreasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by releasing oxygen into the oceans by increasing carbon dioxide levels, leading to more acidic oceans

Explanation:

1. Climate - resilient infrastructure is built to deal with climate - related events. Ignoring climate change impacts (first option) is incorrect. Promoting unsustainable energy (third option) and increasing energy consumption (fourth option) are not goals of climate - resilient infrastructure. Reducing the severity of climate - related events is the correct purpose.
2. The enhanced greenhouse effect traps more heat. Cooling of the Earth (second option) is wrong. Increased rainfall (third option) and reduced solar radiation (fourth option) are not the primary consequences. Global warming is the main result.
3. Ocean acidification occurs when more carbon dioxide is absorbed. Absorbing carbon dioxide makes oceans more acidic (first option is wrong). Decreasing carbon dioxide (second option) and releasing oxygen (third option) do not cause ocean acidification. Increasing carbon dioxide levels leading to more acidic oceans is correct.

Answer:

1. To reduce the severity of climate - related events
2. Global warming
3. By increasing carbon dioxide levels, leading to more acidic oceans
