Question

3 - impacts of climate change
learning objective: compare the impacts of climate change and their possible effects.
which of the following effects of climate change describes a disruption in ecological processes?
a.) reduction or changes in arable land
b.) animal mating and blooming of flowers occur earlier in the year
c.) increased solar radiation
d.) instability in permafrost and mountainous regions

Explanation:

Ecological processes involve the interactions and functions within ecosystems. Animal mating and flower - blooming are biological and ecological phenomena. Climate change causing them to occur earlier disrupts the normal timing and balance of these ecological processes. Option a is more related to land use change, option c is a physical factor not directly an ecological disruption, and option d is about geological and geographical changes rather than ecological processes.

Answer:

B. Animal mating and blooming of flowers occur earlier in the year
