Question 7 • Geography

How do melting polar ice caps affect other parts of the world?

Answer
A
Lower water temperatures limit biodiversity in oceans.
B
Rising sea levels threaten coastal and island nations.
C
Coral on reefs expel algae from their tissues and turn white.
D
Greenhouse gases cause a rise in temperatures.

Explanation

When polar ice melts, water flows into the oceans and raises sea levels. Higher sea levels can flood low-lying coastlines and threaten coastal and island nations, so choice B is correct. The other choices describe different environmental effects or causes, not the main impact of melting polar ice on other parts of the world.
