- Which of these hypotheses does not explain why increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere could cause a decrease in the productivity of some crops because of changes in climate? A) There could be increases in average winter temperatures that reduce the growth of crops. B) There could be decreases in precipitation in some regions that reduce growth in some crops. C) There could be shifts in the ranges of some important species in the community, such as pollinators, that cause reduction of growth in some crops.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is mainly responsible for weather on earth? A) Wind, precipitation, and clouds B) The water found in the oceans C) The uneven heating of earth surface D) none of the abovearrow_forwardOne outcome of climate change will be a shift in where particular climate conditions exist (for instance, you will have to move further north if you want to stay in Chicago-like weather). In order to survive, some organisms may have to move. The movement rate of the climate and the movement rate of a species are described by Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate. Using the Sugar Maple tree as an example, describe what climate velocity and frame shift rate are AND how they can combine to force the sugar maple to go extinct. (If you do not properly use the terms Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate as part of your answer you are not going to get many points on this question)arrow_forward
