Question In a village, the temperature has been increasing, and rainfall has become unpredictable over the past few years. What could be causing this change? Suggest two ways the village could adapt to these new conditions.
Causes: The changes are likely due to climate change, driven by increased greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, leading to global warming and altered weather patterns. Deforestation or local land use changes could also reduce moisture and affect rainfall. Adaptation Strategies: Water Conservation: Implement rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems to store water during unpredictable rainfall. Sustainable Farming: Use drought-resistant crops and sustainable farming practices to cope with higher temperatures and reduced water availability.
