Global Warming Quiz

How does global warming affect sea levels?

• It causes sea levels to drop due to increased evaporation

• It does not affect sea levels

• It causes sea levels to rise due to the melting of ice and thermal expansion of seawater

• It causes sea levels to fluctuate unpredictably
