Which of these results would you predict to occur if climate change results in increased warming global temperatures?
A)Species competition will result in slower evolution in the tropics.
B)The tree line (at which it is too cold for trees to grow)moves toward the north and south poles.
C)Winters will be longer toward the poles.
D)Land animals will suffer fewer consequences than marine animals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As global temperatures increase, the tree line moves toward the poles, allowing trees to grow in areas that were previously too cold for their growth. This may cause changes in the ecosystems and affect the species living in those areas.

Answer: C 
 As temperatures warm, it is predicted that winters will become shorter and milder, particularly toward the poles where they are currently more severe.

Answer: D 
 Marine animals are more directly impacted by climate change because they are more sensitive to changes in water temperature and chemistry. Thus, land animals may suffer fewer consequences compared to marine animals.

Therefore, the best choices would be B and C.
