Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 39
Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. In
2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average - the highest annual average in the satellite
record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one eighth of an inch per year. Higher
sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland than they once did, which
also means more frequent nuisance flooding. Disruptive and expensive, nuisance flooding is estimated to
be from 300 percent to 900 percent more frequent within U.S. coastal communities than it was just 50
years ago.
The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean
since water expands as it warms, and increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets.
The oceans are absorbing more than 90 percent of the increased atmospheric heat associated with
emissions from human activity.
With continued ocean and atmospheric warming, sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates
higher than that of the current century. In the United States, almost 40 percent of the population lives in
relatively high-population- density coastal areas, where sea level plays a role in flooding, shoreline
erosion, and hazards from storms. Globally, eight of the world's 10 largest cities are near a coast, according
to the U.N. Atlas of the Oceans.

A. Sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates of the current century.
B. Sea level has no relation to flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms.
C. Nearly 40 percent of the population of the US lives in densely populated coastal areas.
D. Sea level rise will only affect the world's largest cities near the coast.
