Q. Which disaster is most likely to be influenced by climate change?

The correct answer is: c) Tropical cyclones.

Explanation: Climate change is primarily driven by global warming, which results from the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This warming has a direct impact on weather patterns and ocean temperatures. Tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes or typhoons, are heavily influenced by sea surface temperatures. Warmer oceans provide more energy for these storms, making them more intense and potentially more frequent.

On the other hand:
– Earthquakes (Option A) are caused by tectonic plate movements and are not influenced by climate change.
– Tsunamis (Option B) are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, which are also unrelated to climate change.
– Volcanic eruptions (Option D) are caused by geological processes beneath the Earth’s surface and are not affected by climate change.

Thus, tropical cyclones are the disaster most likely to be influenced by climate change.
