Question

The graph given here shows the rise in global temperature from $1850$ to $2019$.

How will this affect the earth?

• A. An increase in temperature will cause a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases
• B. An increase in temperature will cause glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise dramatically
• C. An increase in temperature will lead to repair and thickening of the ozone layer
• D. An increase in temperature will lead to better crop production and food security

Answer 1

The correct option is B An increase in temperature will cause glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise dramatically

Global warming is the gradual heating of Earth's surface oceans and atmosphere caused by activities of human-like burning of fossil fuel deforestation etc. The increase in global annual temperature leads to the melting of glaciers which increases the sea level drastically causing destruction.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
