How does climate change affect crop yields?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
All of the above.
💡 Explanation:
Climate change can affect crop yields in a number of ways, including by increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and rising sea levels. Higher temperatures can lead to heat stress in plants, which can reduce yields. Changes in precipitation patterns can lead to droughts and floods, which can also damage crops. Rising sea levels can inundate coastal farmland, making it unusable for agriculture.
