Global warming will increase temperatures through the northern United

States. What will most likely be the effect on wildlife in this region?

A. They will have more access to fresh water.

B. They will have more access to food.

C. They will die unless they are able to move to cooler areas.

D. They will be healthier in the warmer weather.

The correct answer is C. They will die unless they are able to move to cooler areas.

Explanation:

The global warming phenomenon implies a long-term change in temperature all around the world. This change in temperature represents an important thread for ecosystems as biological processes and natural cycles are closely linked to temperatures. Indeed the rise in temperatures has caused changes in migrations, pollination, and availability of resources which leads to the extinction of species that cannot adapt to warmer climates. For example, in oceans higher temperatures had caused corals and some fish to die as they are adapted to only certain temperatures. Therefore, the most likely effect on wildlife due to global warming in the U. S. and other regions is that animals, plants and other organisms will die unless they move to cooler areas (Option C).

Answer: C

Explanation: C is the only negative effect of global warming. They must move to a different location or die.
