The three correct answers that result from increased evaporation are:
1. **Increased drought** - As evaporation increases, the availability of water can decrease, leading to drier conditions.
2. **Increased rainfall** - Increased evaporation can lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, which can eventually result in more precipitation.
3. **Increased agricultural irrigation** - In response to increased evaporation and potential drought conditions, there may be a greater need for agricultural irrigation to maintain crop yields.
The option "increased sea level" is not directly a result of increased evaporation; instead, it's more associated with melting ice caps and thermal expansion of water due to global warming.
