Which directly contribute to sea level rise?(1 point) It's actually earth science.

expansion and melting of land ice

reflected energy and melting sea ice*

carbon dioxide and water vapor

reflected energy and carbon dioxide

Three different scientific institutions provide data about how much the annual global temperature has deviated from the norm in the years 1880 to 2014. The norm is based on the temperatures of a base period, from 1951 to 1980.

Institution A’s data show that the annual global temperature deviated from the norm by 0.75°C in 2010.

Institution B’s data show that the annual global temperature deviated from the norm by 0.72°C in 2010.

Institution C’s data show that the annual global temperature deviated from the norm by 0.77°C in 2010.

Which are accurate statements about this data? Select the two correct answers.

The data gathered by each institution is very different from the data gathered by the other institutions.

The institutions gathered enough data for scientists to draw a conclusion about whether the annual global temperature is gradually increasing.

The data gathered by each institution is very similar to the data gathered by the other institutions.

The institutions have not yet gathered enough data for scientists to draw a conclusion about whether the annual global temperature is gradually increasing.

Answer:

1. reflected energy and melting sea ice*

2. The institutions gathered enough data for scientists to draw a conclusion about whether the annual global temperature is gradually increasing.

The data gathered by each institution is very similar to the data gathered by the other institutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflection of extra heat causes the sea ice to melt. This causes the sea ice to melt. This becomes a problem because the polar ice melts and contributes to the increase in the water content in the sea. This causes the rise in the sea levels.

The options (1) and (2) are correct because the institutions gathered enough data to reach plausible conclusions.
