Question

which factor caused by global warming can cause flooding of coastal areas in near future?

Answer 1

Average global sea level has increased eight inches since 1880, but is rising much faster on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Global warming is now accelerating the rate of sea level rise, increasing flooding risks to low-lying communities and high-risk coastal properties whose development has been encouraged by today's flood insurance system.

Answer 2

which factor caused by global warming can cause flooding of coastal areas in near future?

Explanation:

Global warming is the increase in the Earth's mean atmospheric temperature caused by the entrapment of solar heat by the green house gasses present in the atmosphere.

Global warming has lead to rapid melting of polar ice caps and glaciers. Ice that had not melted in many centuries is now melting which is leading to an increase in the sea levels around the world which may cause flooding of many coastal regions and islands.
