Climate Change and Its Impact on Weather Patterns

The video discusses the increasing frequency and intensity of cyclones due to warmer water, which provides more energy for these storms. It highlights the impact of rising sea levels on coastal cities, predicting that many could be submerged, altering their existence. The video emphasizes the need to understand these changes as they pose significant challenges to global communities.

What is one of the main challenges faced by areas hit by repeated cyclones?

• Stable weather conditions

• Decreased wind speeds

• Lack of rainfall

• Rebuilding infrastructure

What is the primary source of energy for hurricanes and typhoons?

• High altitude winds

• Cold ocean currents

• Warm surface water

• Polar ice caps

How does warmer water affect the formation of storms?

• It increases their strength

• It causes them to dissipate

• It has no effect

• It decreases their intensity

What is a potential consequence of rising sea levels for coastal cities?

• Decreased flooding

• More freshwater availability

• Cities becoming uninhabitable

• Increased land area

Which cities are mentioned as potentially disappearing due to sea level rise?

• Rio de Janeiro and Mumbai

• New York and Tokyo

• Amsterdam and Venice

• Sydney and Cape Town
