Major climate models predict 2100 a. a 2- to 4.5-degree C rise in Earth's mean surface temperature by b. increased CO, absorption by the world occans as temperature rises c. the falling of global sea levels d. lower temperature rises after 2200 40. Climate models predict that global warming will be most severe in a. Euro-Asia Af b. the Middle East d. Africa c polar regions d. 41. How does the timing of CO: changes in the atmosphere correspond to temperature changes? a. Temperatures change first, and CO; levels lag behind. b. CO; levels change first, and temperatures lag behind. c. CO; levels and temperatures always change at exactly the same time. d. As CO: levels decrease, temperatures increase. 42.

The greenhouse effect a. is a blanket of warm air in the troposphere that makes the earth habitable b. occurs when energy absorbed by the earth radiates into the atmosphere to cause warming c. is caused by solar radiation warming the earth's atmosphere d. accelerates the warming of the earth's atmospher

Explanation / Answer

c. 39 inches . In 2013, the body projected that for the same high-end emissions scenario used in the current study, sea level rise by the year 2100 would be between 0.52 and 0.98 meters (1.7 and 3.22 feet), ( 20 and 39 inches)

38.b. prolonged periods of cooling and warming
39 . a. 2- to 4.5-degree centigrade rise in earth's mean surface temperature by 2100
40. polar regions.- Ice will melt in the polar regions.
