A
Scientists have observed that the average surface temperature of the Earth has been increasing. This increase has
affected the oceans. Glaciers and ice sheets melt, and water from this melting process becomes part of the oceans.
The increasing temperature of the Earth's surface also warms ocean waters. As a result, the volume of the oceans
expands. These two events affect sea level.
What would happen to sea level if the average surface temperature trend that was observed since the 1960s
continues?
A) Sea level will rise, then will suddenly fall.
B) Sea level will remain the same.
C) Sea level will continue to fall.
D) Sea level will continue to rise.
