The three correct answers that are a result of increased evaporation are:

  1. Increased sea level
  2. Increased drought
  3. Increased rainfall

Increased evaporation contributes to higher temperatures and can lead to greater moisture in the atmosphere, which can lead to increased rainfall in some areas, while also causing drought in others due to higher water loss from soil and surface water. Additionally, increased evaporation from oceans contributes to rising sea levels as more water vaporizes and subsequently returns as precipitation. However, the direct effect on irrigation is not a result of increased evaporation itself.
