Answer (1)
1. Tsunami - xAlthough they are mostly brought on by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, tsunamis are not directly impacted by human production or consumption.2. Greenhouse Gasses - e The concentration of these gases is greatly increased by human activities like the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.3. Heavy Rainfall - e In certain places, heavier rainfall events can result from warmer air's capacity to retain more moisture. This is a result of human activity increasing the energy in the climate system.4. Flash Floods - e Flash floods can occur when drainage systems are overloaded by heavy rainfall, which is frequently made worse by climate change. 5.Smaller Harvest of Fruits - eGrowing seasons, rainfall patterns, and the frequency of extreme weather events can all be negatively impacted by climate change, which can also have an adverse effect on fruit and other crop yields.6. Undersized Fish Caught - e Fish populations may grow more slowly and reach smaller adult sizes as a result of warmer ocean temperatures and ocean acidification, which are made worse by increased CO2 absorption.7. Skin Cancer - x A major risk factor for skin cancer is increased exposure to UV radiation; the relationship between climate change and the ozone layer has a different effect on skin cancer.8. Extensive Drought - eChanges in precipitation patterns brought about by climate change cause extended dry spells in some areas. Drought conditions are also influenced by increased evaporation brought on by warmer temperatures.9. Terrorism - xTerrorism has many causes and is a complicated social and political problem. But it can occasionally intensify pre-existing social tensions or resource scarcity.10. Earthquake - xTectonic plate movement within the Earth's crust is the main cause of earthquakes. Human production and consumption are not the direct cause of them.11. Melting of Glaciers - eGlaciers melt more quickly as a result of rising global temperatures, which are a direct result of higher concentrations of greenhouse gases (in relation with number 2).12. Heatwaves - e Heatwaves are episodes of unusually hot weather that are occurring more frequently, intensely, and for longer due to climate change.13. Rising of Sea Levels - eSea levels rise as a result of two primary processes brought on by global warming: the melting of glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion, which occurs when water warms.14. Wildfires - eDue to hotter, drier weather brought on by climate change, vegetation becomes more flammable, increasing the risk of wildfires.15. More Allergies and Health Risks - ePollen seasons can be extended, allergy rates can rise, disease transmission can be accelerated—and exposure to air pollution can rise due to climate change.
