In the event of global warming, which one of the following is most likely to occur?

Moderate

A

Existing plant and animal communities will move towards equator in response to warming
B

Agriculture in the Prairie Provinces will be redeveloped on soils of the Canadian Shield
C

The anticipated rise in sea level will be caused primarily by the melting of polar ice caps
D

The decomposition of organic matter in the unfrozen surface layer of polar soils will increase

Solution

Global warming could raise sea level due to thermal expansion of seawater, melting of glaciers, and Greenland ice sheets. There is a danger of submersion of a large area as one-third of the human population lives within 60 km of coastline. Coastal salt marshes and estuaries, wetlands, drylands, freshwater supplies, fisheries, fish breeding areas, and other types of wildlife will undergo extinction
