If CO2 level increase from the normal level, what will happen?
Correct answer: B. Increase in sea level
- A. Decrease in sea level
- B. Increase in sea level
- C. Longer winter season
- D. Daytime will increase
Explanation
If CO2 level increases than normal as the world warms due to greenhouse gases carbon dioxide included waters heat up and expand, causing sea levels to rise. The researchers found that the natural relationship displays a strong rise in sea level for CO2 increase from 180 to 400 parts per million, peaking at CO2 levels close to present-day values. The increased percentage of carbon-dioxide will cause the greenhouse effect, i.e. it will not allow the hot rays of the sun to escape from the atmosphere after reflection once they enter the earth's atmosphere, thereby increasing the temperature of the earth, ice on mountains will melt and the water level will rise.

About Environmental Chemistry
Atmospheric pollution includes smog, acid rain, greenhouse gases, ozone depletion and the effects of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Water pollution covers sewage, industrial waste, eutrophication and treatment stages, while green chemistry focuses on reducing hazardous substances, waste and energy use through safer, more efficient processes.
