Question

multiple choice 1 point which of the following is a potential consequence of climate change? more predictable weather patterns increased frequency of extreme weather events expansion of polar ice caps decreased sea levels

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "More predictable weather patterns": Climate change causes weather to be less predictable, so this is incorrect.
• "Increased frequency of extreme weather events": Scientific evidence shows climate change leads to more frequent extreme weather (e.g., hurricanes, droughts), so this is correct.
• "Expansion of polar ice caps": Climate change causes polar ice to melt (shrink), not expand, so this is incorrect.
• "Decreased sea levels": Melting ice and thermal expansion increase sea levels, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

Increased frequency of extreme weather events (the option with this text, likely the third option in the list of choices presented)
