Answer:
Which of these is NOT an expected effect of climate change? a. Extreme weather b. Sea levels rising c. expanding glaciers d. flooding in coastal cities.
Answer- d. flooding in coastal cities
Explanation:
1. Extreme weather- Extreme weather or extreme climate events includes unexpected, unusual, severe or unseasonal weather; weather at the extremes of the historical distribution- the range that has been seen in the past.
2. Sea level rising- Sea level rise is an increase in the level of the world's oceans due to the effects of global warming. Burning fossil fuels is one of the cause of global warming because it releases carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gasses into the atmosphere.
3. Expanding glaciers- An extended mass of ice formed from snow falling and accumulating over the years and moving very slowly, either descending from high mountains, as in valley glaciers, or moving outward from centers of accumulation as in continental glaciers.
4. flooding in coastal cities- Coastal flooding normally occurs when dry and low lying land is submerged by seawater. The range of a coastal flooding is a result of the elevation of floodwater that penetrates the inland which is controlled by the topography of the coastal land exposed to flooding.
Hence, option d. flooding in coastal cities is correct options.
