Question

rising global temperatures are most likely to cause:
○ higher sea levels and flooding
○ more sea ice at the poles
○ shorter droughts everywhere
○ less erosion on coasts

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rising global temperatures lead to melting of polar ice caps, which increases the volume of water in oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Higher sea levels result in coastal flooding. The other options are incorrect: rising temps would decrease sea ice at poles, increase drought duration/severity in some areas, and increase coastal erosion.

Answer:

A. Higher sea levels and flooding
