Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melting and loss of ice, specifically glaciers and ice sheets, have contributed to approximately 50% of the sea level rise over the last century. This is due to the increase in temperature caused by climate change, which is causing the ice to melt at a faster rate than it can be replenished. The other options, such as a dip in the jet stream, change in the Gulf Stream circulation, and extreme weather events, may contribute to sea level rise indirectly through their effects on the climate, but they are not directly responsible for the increase in sea level itself.
