Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together, Which one of the following is not an impact of global warming. So let's first recall what we've learned about global warming and some of its effects on the planet. So we know that global warming is the increase in the surface temperature of the earth. And because of that increase in temperature it's basically hotter in the planet. So we have a hotter planet and from that we have several different things, such as we have the melting of those glaciers, so melting of glaciers and because of this melting of glaciers, we also have an increase in the tides and so we have more water in the planet which leads to blooding. So both of these things kind of increase that chance of flooding. And we also know that the increase in the temperature leads to a change in the weather patterns to change in whether because of the change in the air current. So all of these things are examples of global warming and only one thing that is listed here is not one of those effects and that is answer choice D the correct answer. Because volcanic eruption has to do with the rising of magma from the earth's core and not the increase in temperature at the surface of the planet. I hope you found this video to be helpful.
