Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The melting of glaciers is causing an increase in the amount of water in the ocean, leading to a rise in sea level. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. The rise in temperature, precipitation, and the amount of sea ice may also be affected by the melting of glaciers but may not directly contribute to the rise in sea level. The sea bottom may also be affected by the melting of glaciers but is not directly related to the rise in sea level.
