Question

Why is the potential loss of glaciation in the Alps a concern for Europe?

A.) Glaciers provide fresh drinking water
B.) Tourists visit the glaciers annually
C.) Source of hydro-power
D.) All of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer is D. All of the Above

Step-by-step explanation:

Losing the glaciation in the Alps would result in a lot of consequences for Europe, Apart from cultural loss, Europe would lose one of the main Fresh drinking water sources they have, affecting mainly the communities near the mountains.

Another factor is that the Alps are also a very important tourist attraction for Europe, many visitors go to the Alps attending many events being held in the mountains or simply going for a hike, the economic loss would be devastating.

Switzerland currently has one of the many important hydroelectric dams that uses the water that flows down the Alps, without the glaciation the water running down will decrease in quantity gradually, leading to a loss of electric energy in the country, and because they sell this energy to other countries the consequence would be devastating.

Answer 2

D) all of the above

it is mostly A tho, but im pretty sure there are tourists that go there and that melting water is used for hydro-power too.

So D is your best choice

hope this helps
