Question 12 • FL-2106310-United States Government

Rising sea levels in Florida are primarily caused by

Answer
A
building breakwaters.
B
stronger lunar pull.
C
melting polar ice.
D
beach erosion.

Explanation

As polar ice melts, water that was stored on land flows into the oceans, raising sea levels around the world, including Florida. Building breakwaters and beach erosion can affect local shorelines but do not primarily cause global sea-level rise; the Moon’s pull causes tides, not a long-term rise in sea level.
