Solution
The correct options are A Melting of polar ice caps B Increase in energy consumption C Rise of sea level D Increase in average temperature of earth's atmosphere The gradual rise in overall earth's temperature is called global warming. The effects of global warming are:
∙ Melting of polar ice caps which causes increase in sea level.
∙ Increase in energy consumption - Energy required for cooling (for human purposes).
∙ Rise of sea level - The low coastal areas have submerged due to rise in sea level.
∙ Rise in temperature of oceans - Causes inconvenience and eventual death of aquatic animals.
∙ Decrease in amount of oxygen in sea and river water - Causes inconvenience and eventual death of aquatic animals.
