The three correct answers related to the results of increased evaporation are:

  1. Increased drought - Higher evaporation rates can lead to drier soil conditions and contribute to drought.
  2. Increased rainfall - Increased evaporation can lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, which can eventually result in more rainfall.
  3. Increased sea level - Increased evaporation can contribute to changes in water levels, especially as warmer temperatures can cause melting of ice and expansion of seawater, leading to higher sea levels.

Therefore, the selected answers would be:

  • Increased drought
  • Increased rainfall
  • Increased sea level

(Note: "Increased agricultural irrigation" is not a direct result of increased evaporation; it is a response to conditions created by it.)
