Question

decide whether each of the following is a result of global warming. choose yes or no. changes in weather patterns increased rates of skin cancer melting of the polar ice caps increased growing season of crops increased rates of asthma

Explanation:

• Changes in weather patterns: Global warming alters atmospheric conditions, causing weather - pattern changes.
• Increased rates of skin cancer: Caused mainly by ozone - layer depletion and UV radiation, not directly by global warming.
• Melting of the polar ice caps: Rising global temperatures due to global warming cause ice to melt.
• Increased growing season of crops: Warmer temperatures from global warming can extend the growing season in some regions.
• Increased rates of asthma: Can be related to air - quality changes due to factors like increased pollution and allergens from warmer temperatures (linked to global warming).

Answer:

• Changes in weather patterns: Yes
• Increased rates of skin cancer: No
• Melting of the polar ice caps: Yes
• Increased growing season of crops: Yes
• Increased rates of asthma: Yes
