What are the negative effects of rising ocean temperatures? check all that apply. the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps the drying out of fertile land and the formation of dust bowls the flooding of low-lying coastal areas the faster evaporation of water in the soil the decreased frequency of major storms

Option (1) and (3)

Explanation:

The ocean covers a large portion of earth and the temperature of the ocean rises due to the high absorption of heat. This is because of the higher amount of incoming solar radiation and the increasing green house gases in the atmosphere of the earth.

This increasing temperature of the ocean has certain negative effects.

Due to the increasing ocean temperature, the ocean water will become warm that will enhance the temperature of the polar water, as a result of which the glaciers and ice caps of the polar region will melt.

The increasing ocean water temperature will lead to the evaporation of water into the atmosphere, which will eventually cause rainfall. This will cause flooding in the low-elevated coastal areas. There occurs increasing frequency of major storms.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1) and (3).

hey, what do you need . just post the question and i may be able to you : )
