Global warming can cause the glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica to melt resulting in
more extreme weather
a rise in sea level
an increase in the spread of infectious diseases
Check all the statements that explain why sea level rise is a threat:
Sea level rise will lead to the inundation of low-lying areas such as coastal cities, which constitutes two-thirds of the world’s capital cities. This will cause massive economic losses.
Sea level rise will lead to the inundation of low-lying small island nation states, which often do not have alternative areas with higher relief to house the remaining population.
Higher temperatures cause the melting of glaciers and causes water in seas and ocean to expand, thus increasing the sea level.
Sea level rise will lead to widespread destruction and damage to properties in the densely-populated cities.
2/3 of the world’s largest cities located in coastal areas are at risk when sea level rises.
True
