Read the passage below for questions 76 - 81! Climate change has a considerable impact for Indonesia. Many events have occurred in Indonesia as the result of climate change and global warming like changes in the pattern and distribution of the rainfall. The impacts of climate change can be influential in a positive and a negative way, directly or indirectly affect and can override individual or group. Direct impact is the impact that can be directly seen as well as felt, such as rising temperatures in urban areas. Indirect impact is the impact on the environment as a result of derivatives that happened some time ago and can be felt directly to households or groups. Indirect impacts can be seen from the presence of an increase in the incidence of droughts, floods and landslides. The other impacts of climate change can be seen as the decline in agricultural production / crop failure, the rising of forest fires, and the rising sea levels. The pattern and distribution of the rainfall has a tendency that makes dry areas become drier and wet areas become wetter that make the preservation of water resources disturbed. Extreme events like the rain with high intensity but in a short period of time cause the floods and landslides. On the other hand, the prolonged dry season causes the drought and water crisis as well as the triggering of the forest fire. Instability of the rain brings impacts on the agricultural sector that is the declining agricultural productivity even causes crop failure. In general, the agricultural sector operators (farmers) have not made the optimum use of the information on the climate. The management is based on the habit. Consequently a lot of losses are suffered such as the crop failure due to floods, droughts or the presence of certain pests.

Read the passage below for questions 76 - 81!

Climate change has a considerable impact for Indonesia. Many events have occurred in Indonesia as the result of climate change and global warming like changes in the pattern and distribution of the rainfall. The impacts of climate change can be influential in a positive and a negative way, directly or indirectly affect and can override individual or group. Direct impact is the impact that can be directly seen as well as felt, such as rising temperatures in urban areas. Indirect impact is the impact on the environment as a result of derivatives that happened some time ago and can be felt directly to households or groups. Indirect impacts can be seen from the presence of an increase in the incidence of droughts, floods and landslides. The other impacts of climate change can be seen as the decline in agricultural production / crop failure, the rising of forest fires, and the rising sea levels.
The pattern and distribution of the rainfall has a tendency that makes dry areas become drier and wet areas become wetter that make the preservation of water resources disturbed. Extreme events like the rain with high intensity but in a short period of time cause the floods and landslides. On the other hand, the prolonged dry season causes the drought and water crisis as well as the triggering of the forest fire. Instability of the rain brings impacts on the agricultural sector that is the declining agricultural productivity even causes crop failure.
In general, the agricultural sector operators (farmers) have not made the optimum use of the information on the climate. The management is based on the habit. Consequently a lot of losses are suffered such as the crop failure due to floods, droughts or the presence of certain pests.
