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
