Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Global warming is the major phenomenon that encompasses all the mentioned phenomena, as it causes an increase in the Earth's average temperature, leading to the reduction of the polar ice caps, migration of plants and animals towards higher latitudes and elevations, increase in precipitation, longer rainy seasons, and permafrost thawing. Population growth and erosion do not adequately explain these phenomena, while industrialization may contribute to global warming but is not the best choice to encompass all the mentioned phenomena.
