Solution

Without the context of the passage, it's difficult to accurately predict what the following paragraph would discuss. However, based on the options given:

A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D. the harsh climate of Antarctica

If the passage was discussing the discovery of Lake Vostok and the challenges of studying it due to its location beneath the Antarctic ice, then the most logical follow-up topic would be "C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it". This would continue the discussion on the challenges and potential solutions for studying this unique environment.

“Desde a sua origem a Terra sempre sofreu mudanças climáticas. (...) Entretanto, recentemente foram detectados alguns fenômenos provocados pela ação humana que tem alterado o clima no planeta bem mais rapidamente do que os acontecimentos transcorridos ao longo da história”.Fonte: SENE, Eustáquio de; MOREIRA, João Carlos. Geografia geral e do Brasil: v.1: espaço geográfico e globalização. São Paulo: Scipione, 2010. Sobre as ações humanas na nossa casa, que é o planeta Terra, é correto afirmar, exceto: A)A poluição atmosférica, além de provocar chuvas ácidas e afetar a saúde da população, tem também intensificado o efeito estufa, o qual se reflete no aquecimento global.   B)A expansão urbana altera o comportamento térmico e tem como uma de suas consequências a formação das chamadas “ilhas de calor” nas zonas rurais onde as temperaturas, em média, são mais altas que as das cidades.  C)A tragédia em Mariana (MG) provocada pelo rompimento das barragens de rejeitos da Samarco em novembro de 2015, além de causar mortes e afetar a população, foi considerada destaque mundial em função do volume e da distância percorrida pelo material, bem como dos custos ambientais e financeiros.   D)As inversões térmicas ocorrem particularmente no inverno, de modo que a camada de ar frio permanece embaixo e o ar quente acima e, por conseguinte, a circulação de ar fica bloqueada, o que favorece a retenção dos poluentes, como é o caso das áreas urbanas.
