Question

multiple choice 1 point global climate change has had numerous effects on the earth. which of the following has been a result of global climate change? a decrease in coastal flooding in areas with warm climates an increase in habitat range in species that thrive in warm climates a decrease in insect populations in areas that have warm climates an increase in glacier size in areas that have warm climates

Explanation:

Global climate change causes rising temperatures. This leads to glacier - melt (decrease in glacier size), changes in species' habitats, and sea - level rise resulting in coastal flooding. Insect populations may decrease in warm - climate areas due to habitat disruption and other factors. Species that thrive in warm climates may see an increase in habitat range as suitable areas expand. Coastal flooding in warm - climate areas is a well - known consequence of sea - level rise from melting ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater due to global warming.

Answer:

a decrease in coastal flooding in areas with warm climates is incorrect as global climate change causes more coastal flooding. An increase in habitat range in species that thrive in warm climates is correct as warming can expand their suitable areas. A decrease in insect populations in areas that have warm climates can be a result due to habitat changes. An increase in glacier size in areas that have warm climates is incorrect as glaciers generally shrink due to warming. So the answer is an increase in habitat range in species that thrive in warm climates.
