Question

Which of the following is correct regarding the 'El Nino' effect?

• (A) Cutting down the use of fossil fuels
• (B) Planting more trees
• (C) Slowing down the growth of the human population
• (D) Temperature rise leads to odd climatic changes

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Explanation:
The rise in temperature due to global warming is leading to deleterious changes in the environment and resulting in odd climatic changes like the El Nino effect. El Nino effect is the abnormal warming of surface ocean water. It affects the weather in large parts of the world. The moisture carrying capacity of air will increase. The pattern of air-mass movement will change. Precipitation will increase at higher latitudes both in summer and winter and in southern as well as Eastern Asia in summer. The frequency of droughts and floods will increase. Threats to human health will increase in tropical and subtropical countries due to changed ranges of disease vectors and water-borne pathogens.So, the correct answer is 'Temperature rise leads to odd climatic changes'.Hence, the correct option is (D).
