Q: Which of the following is a consequence of global warming?
Solution: Global warming leads to rising sea levels due to the melting of polar ice and glaciers.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what global warming is. It is the increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities, mainly from burning fossil fuels.
Step 2: Recognize that as the Earth gets warmer, polar ice caps and glaciers start to melt.
Step 3: Realize that when ice melts, it turns into water and flows into the oceans.
Step 4: Understand that this extra water in the oceans causes sea levels to rise.
Step 5: Conclude that one consequence of global warming is rising sea levels.
