Transcript text: Question: 8
What will be the MOST LIKELY result of a severe drought in a region?
A. more water
B. more food
c. more wetlands
D. more wildfires
Solution
The answer is the fourth one (D): more wildfires.
Explanation for each option:
A. More water - This is incorrect. A severe drought means there is a significant lack of water in the region.
B. More food - This is incorrect. A drought typically reduces the availability of water for crops, leading to less food production.
C. More wetlands - This is incorrect. Wetlands rely on a consistent supply of water, and a drought would likely reduce the size and number of wetlands.
D. More wildfires - This is correct. A severe drought dries out vegetation, making it more susceptible to catching fire and leading to an increased likelihood of wildfires.
Summary:
The most likely result of a severe drought in a region is more wildfires.
