Which of the following is a result of increased evaporation? Select the three correct answers.

Answer Options:

increased drought
increased agricultural irrigation
increased sea level
increased rainfall

1 answer

The three correct answers that result from increased evaporation are:

  1. Increased drought - As evaporation increases, moisture is lost from soil and water bodies, which can lead to drier conditions and drought.

  2. Increased sea level - Increased evaporation leads to higher humidity and can contribute to more precipitation eventually, but it also can contribute to sea level rise through the melting of ice caps and glaciers.

  3. Increased rainfall - Increased evaporation can lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, which can result in increased rainfall when that moisture condenses.

So the correct answers are: increased drought, increased sea level, and increased rainfall.

Note: "Increased agricultural irrigation" is not a direct result of increased evaporation; it is often a response to decreased water availability due to drought conditions.
