Which of the following is a direct effect of climate change? a. Rising sea levels
b. Plate tectonic shifts
c. Increase in the Earth’s rotation speed
d. Increased volcanic eruptions
The correct answer is: a. Rising sea levels
Explanation: Rising sea levels are a direct effect of climate change, primarily caused by the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers as global temperatures increase. This results in more water flowing into the oceans and causes thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. The other options are not directly influenced by climate change in the same way.
