Which of the following is true regarding human influence on monsoon pattern?
A)Most scientists concur that human activity will have little effect on monsoonal patterns.
B)Warming temperatures caused by increased greenhouse gases may decrease monsoon precipitation.
C)Rising concentrations of aerosols may cause an overall rise in monsoon precipitation.
D)The relationships are complex and further compounded by natural oscillations in global circulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relationships between human influence and monsoon patterns are complex and further compounded by natural oscillations in global circulation. While some studies suggest that warming temperatures caused by increased greenhouse gases may decrease monsoon precipitation, rising concentrations of aerosols may cause an overall rise in monsoon precipitation. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that human activity will have little effect on monsoonal patterns, nor is it accurate to make a blanket statement about the direction of the impact.
