Question

23 multiple choice 2 points which of the following is an impact of rising sea levels associated with climate change? increased agricultural land availability expansion of desert areas flooding of low - lying coastal areas decreased coastal erosion 24 multiple choice 2 points how are coral reefs affected by climate change? they benefit from higher carbon dioxide levels. they become less susceptible to diseases. they experience bleaching due to increased water temperatures and acidification. they expand due to warmer water temperatures. 25 multiple choice 2 points how does climate change affect sea level? (choose one answer) cooler temperatures melt glaciers and add water to the ocean, causing sea level to rise. warmer temperatures melt glaciers and add water to the ocean, causing sea level to rise. warmer temperatures melt glaciers and add water to the ocean, causing sea level to rise. cooler temperatures melt glaciers and add water to the ocean, causing sea level to fall

Explanation:

• For question 23: Rising sea - levels submerge low - lying coastal areas, reducing rather than increasing agricultural land. Desert expansion is not directly related to sea - level rise, and coastal erosion usually increases with rising sea levels.
• For question 24: Higher carbon dioxide levels and warming waters harm coral reefs. They become more, not less, susceptible to diseases and experience bleaching due to increased water temperatures and acidification, not expansion.
• For question 25: Warmer temperatures cause glaciers to melt, adding water to the ocean and raising sea levels. Cooler temperatures would not melt glaciers in the way described to raise sea levels.

Answer:

1. Flooding of low - lying coastal areas
2. They experience bleaching due to increased water temperatures and acidification.
3. Warmer temperatures melt glaciers and add water to the ocean, causing sea level to rise.
