Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí from 0.11- 0.88 m The median value of 0.48 m is two to four times the rate of previous increase These increases would continue beyond 2100 even if greenhouse gas concentrations are stabilized The Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, has kept ocean temperature records since 1916 Significant temperature increases are being recorded to depths of more than 300 m as ocean temperature records are set Even the warming of the ocean itself will contribute about 25% of sea-level rise, simply because of thermal expansion of the water In addition, any change in ocean temperature has a profound effect on weather and, indirectly, on agriculture and soil moisture In fact the ocean system appears to have delayed some surface global warming during the past century through absorption of excess atmospheric heat A quick survey of world coastlines shows that even a moderate rise could bring changes of unparalleled proportions At stake are the river deltas, lowland coastal farming valleys, and low-lying mainland areas, all contending with high water, high tides, and higher storm surges Particularly tragic social and economic consequences will affect small island states being able to adjust within their present country boundaries, disruption of biological systems, loss of biodiversity, reduction in water resources, among the impacts There could be both internal and international migration of affected human populations, spread over decades, as people move away from coastal flooding from the sea-level rise Question 46: It may be inferred from this passage that icebergs are formed a by a drop in ocean temperatures b when an ice shelf breaks free c from intensely cold islands d if mountain glaciers melt Question 47: There is more new plant life in Antarctica recently because a the mountain glaciers have melted b the land masses have split into islands c the icebergs have broken into smaller pieces d the temperature has risen by a few degrees Question 48: The word "there" in the passage refers to _ a polar ice mass in the last 50 years b the temperature increase c new vegetation growth d in the Antarctic Peninsula Question 49: In paragraph 4, the author explains the loss of polar and glacial ice by a stating an educated opinion b referring to data in a study c comparing sea levels worldwide d presenting his research Question 50: The word "conclusive" in the passage is closest in meaning to _ a definite b independent c unique d valuable Question 51: Why does the author mention the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in paragraph 6? a The location near the coast endangers the Scripps facility b Research at Scripps indicates that the ocean is getting warmer c One quarter of the rising sea levels has been recorded at Scripps VnDoc -
