उत्तर

Global warming causes sea level rise due to:

  1. Thermal expansion of ocean water.
  2. Melting of glaciers and Greenland ice sheets. Predicted rise by 2100: about 0.88 m above 1990 level.

Effects include flooding of coastal cities, submergence of low-lying islands, and loss of coastal habitats.
