Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The increase in the levels of gase such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere increases the amount of sunlight trapped by the earth.s atmosphere. This leads to a gradual increase in the global temperature which causes a phenomenon known as global warming. Global warming can lead to melting of the polar ice caps, causing ocean levels to rise and low lying areas to gradually submerge in water.
