Question

1.

Adaptive capacity is

related to economic development.

the ability of a community to cope with the impact of climate change.

the ability of a community to mitigate climate change.

all of the above.

2.  

Forced migration occurs when

a community chooses to migrate because food is harder to find.

the impact of climate change exceeds the adaptive capacity of a community.

a rural community thinks it will be better off moving to a city.

3.  

The impact of climate change on freshwater reserves will be to

increase aridity in some areas and increase precipitation in others.

increase precipitation in sub-Saharan Africa.

create surpluses of water worldwide.

reduce precipitation at high latitudes.

4.  

If climate change continues unabated, the impact on the Amazon is projected to be

the destruction of the entire forest within 30 years.

an increase in biodiversity.

an increase in the standard of living of indigenous peoples.

forest degradation and the release of more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

related to economic development.

the ability of a community to cope with the impact of climate change.

the ability of a community to mitigate climate change.

all of the above.

Explanation / Answer

1) as adaptive capacity can as defined as it is the capacity of a system to adapt the environmental system which is chnaging it climatic conditions or this can be adopt only in situation where the changes occurs. to remain stay in such situation the adaptive capacity is required. now here we can find the adaptive capacity is the ability of a community to cope with the impact of climate change. so the correct option is b.

--------------------------------------------------------

2) forced migration can be defined as it is the migration of the people due to some adverse effect of the climate change which is such that it cannot be sustainable to live the life. as the adaptive capacity is limited and when it exeed the limit, the people need to migrate. when this migration is occurs, it take in the contradiction that it happen forcefully by the environement. so forced migration occurs when the impact of climate change exceeds the adaptive capacity of a community. so correct option is b.

----------------------------------------------------------

3) as the climate changes imbalance the ecological cycle of the earth atmosphere due to which many adverse effect occurs to the environemtn. as we all know the global warming, acid rain and water wasted by climatic changes. this lead to the reduction of the fresh water which we living beings depends. so impact of climate changes on the freshwater reserve will be reduce participation at high latitude. so correct option is d.

---------------------------------------------------------------

4) as the climate changes influence many changes on the planet earth and it would be very much adverse if this change in terms of the global warming and adverse changes to occurs. this will lead to un balanacing of the ecosystem and hence make the unsustain to susrvive both for plants and animals including human. so if climate changes occurs contineous unabated then the imbact will be forest degradation and when there is no forest no absorption of the carbon dioxide takes place and hence there will be more carbon dioxide relaease to the atmosphere. so correct option is d.
