Which example illustrates a consequence of climate change?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sea level rise is a consequence of climate change as the warming of the planet causes the melting of glaciers and ice sheets, leading to a rise in sea levels. This can have serious implications for low-lying areas and island nations, leading to flooding and displacement of populations. The other options listed (deforestation, overconsumption, irrigation, and burning fossil fuels) are all contributing factors to climate change, but do not directly illustrate a consequence of it.
