Well this is basically how I would explain this to him

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

I found the rest of your question.

A. increased water scarcity B. overfishing C. decreased soil salinity D. deforestation

Overfishing, decreased soil salinity and deforestation are concerns about agricultural production and its effect but the increased water scarcity is not.

Overfishing is considering a fish species from the water and because of that population of fish is lack which is not good.

Soil salinity can stop the plant from growing and also the quality of water.

Deforestation is the removal of forests or trees and it has a big effect on agricultural production.

Mekhanik [1.2K]
The curved circulation of surface currents is caused by the <span>Earth's rotation. 

</span><span>The 'Coriolis Effect' describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface currents (Figure 14.14). The Earth is a sphere that spins on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when seen from the North Pole. The further towards one of the poles you move from the equator, the shorter the distance around the Earth. This means that objects on the equator move faster than objects further from the equator. While wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth is spinning underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve, instead of in a straight line. Wind or water that travels toward the poles from the equator is deflected to the east, while wind or water that travels toward the equator from the poles gets bent to the west. The Coriolis Effect bends the direction of surface currents.</span><span>
