This map shows how climate change might affect precipitation patterns in the great plains of the united states by the end of this century
brown shows a decrease in precipitation, and blue shows an increase. the maps differ based on the predicted levels of greenhouse gas
emissions
the maps show that northem areas should get
a. more precipitation? regardless of emission levels
b. less precipitation, regardless of emission levels
c. more precipitation, but only when emissions levels are high
d. less precipitation, but only when emission levels are low
southern areas will likely get
a. more precipitation, regardless of emission levels
b. less precipitation, regardless of emission levels
c. more precipitation, but only when emissions levels are high
d. less precipitation, but only when emission levels are low
to use these maps to prepare for natural disasters in the great plains,
scientists need to ask,
a. how many tons of emission were used as the bias for each map
b. which types of fossil fuels are used in great plains
c. which cities and counties will experience no change in precipitation
d. how can we protect people and property in the event of a flood or a drought
