Question

question 10 points 2 which of the following is a direct impact of the melting of polar ice caps? increased freshwater availability flooding of low - lying areas reduction in air pollution increase in forest cover

Explanation:

When polar ice caps melt, the large - volume of water added to the oceans causes sea - level rise. This directly leads to the flooding of low - lying areas. The other options are not direct impacts of polar ice cap melting. Increased freshwater availability is not a direct result as the melted ice goes into the salty oceans. There is no direct link between ice cap melting and reduction in air pollution or increase in forest cover.

Answer:

Flooding of low - lying areas
