Question 14 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

How can global warming lead to changes to the Earth’s surface?

Answer
A
Global warming can lead to an increased number of earthquakes, which change the Earth’s surface.
B
Global warming can lead to glaciers melting, causing flooding to areas and the decrease of glacial land masses.
C
Global warming leads to a decrease in water levels of coastal wetlands.
D
Global warming cannot lead to changes to the Earth’s surface.

Explanation

Global warming raises temperatures, which causes glaciers to melt. This reduces the size of glacial land masses and adds water to oceans and other areas, contributing to flooding. Therefore, the choice describing melting glaciers, flooding, and shrinking glacial land masses is correct.
