Question 3 • TPS EdX Biology

Which is a consequence of global warming?

Answer
A
less frequent hurricanes
B
growing glaciers
C
rising sea levels
D
cooling oceans

Explanation

Global warming raises temperatures, causing ocean water to expand and land ice to melt. Both effects add to ocean levels, so rising sea levels are a consequence. Growing glaciers and cooling oceans are opposite to the general effects of global warming, and it does not lead to fewer hurricanes.
