Rising sea levels are a result of a . increased amounts of precipitation . b. melting ice only. c. increased carbon dioxide levels in the water. d. melting ice and expansion of heated water.

d. Melting ice and expansion of heated water.

Explanation:

As the planet gets warmer, sea level rises.

The two major causes are melting of ice and expansion of seawater.

It is estimated that rising sea levels are caused

a. is wrong. Increased precipitation comes largely from the oceans by the water cycle.
