Question

The global warming has resulted in

• A. the increase in yield of crops
• B. the decrease in sea levels
• C. the decrease in human deaths
• D. the increase in sea levels

Answer 1

The correct option is D the increase in sea levels

Two major mechanisms are causing sea level to rise.
First, shrinking land ice, such as mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets, is releasing water into the oceans.
Second, as ocean temperatures rise, the warmer water expands.
The warming of the atmosphere caused by increases in greenhouse gases is melting glaciers and causing ocean water to warm and expand thermally. Both effects increase the volume of the ocean, raising its surface level.
Thus Option D is correct.
