Answer 1

The three correct answers resulting from increased evaporation are:

1. **Increased drought** - Higher evaporation can lead to drier conditions and increase the likelihood of drought.
2. **Increased rainfall** - Increased evaporation contributes to higher humidity, which can result in more precipitation when conditions are right.
3. **Increased sea level** - Increased evaporation can contribute to higher sea levels as warmer temperatures lead to the melting of ice caps and thermal expansion of seawater.

So, the correct answers are:
- Increased drought
- Increased rainfall
- Increased sea level
