How can global warming cause sea levels to rise? Choose the best answer.

• by causing it to rain more often

• by melting glaciers and ice caps

• by increasing the number of undersea volcanic eruptions

• by creating bigger and more powerful hurricanes

Why does cutting down trees increase global warming?

• trees soak up carbon dioxide

• trees provide shade which counteracts global warming

• trees absorbs the sun's energy without radiating back into the atmosphere

• trees drain greenhouse gases like methane from soil

The graph below shows CO_2 emissions and temperatures from 1909 to 1949. What conclusion is best supported by the graph?

• There is no relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures decrease

• As carbon dioxide concentrations decrease, temperatures increase
