JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3ev108

Which of the following are expected consequences of global warming?

ARise in sea level due to thermal expansion and melting of ice
BShift in rainfall patterns and increased frequency of droughts in some regions
CBleaching of coral reefs due to warmer sea water
DIncrease in the stratospheric ozone concentration

Answer: A, B, C

Warmer climate melts glaciers and expands seawater, changes precipitation and stresses corals. A change in global temperature does not by itself raise stratospheric ozone; ozone changes are connected to halogen chemistry.
