GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Climate change could increase the risk of wildfires, which could change the species composition and decrease biodiversity. Water is a limiting factor in drylands, and changes in water availability can have disproportionate effects on biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A major impact of climate change on biodiversity is the increase in the intensity and frequency of fires, storms or periods of drought.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity loss can have significant direct human health impacts if ecosystem services are no longer adequate to meet social needs. Indirectly, changes in ecosystem services affect livelihoods, income, local migration and, on occasion, may even cause or exacerbate political conflict.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Rising temperatures are likely to result in widespread ecological change. Many animal and plant species are likely to become extinct as ecosystems adjust to climate change. While adaptable species will survive, and other migrate, the end result will be lost biodiversity.
