Due to global warming, the temperature of the earth has increased by ________
-
A.
0.8°C
-
B.
0.7°C
-
C.
0.6°C
-
D.
0.5°C
Correct Answer:
C. 0.6°C
Explanation:
The correct answer is 0.6°C.
Scientific observations indicate that the Earth's average surface temperature rose by approximately 0.6°C during the 20th century. This warming trend is primarily attributed to the enhanced greenhouse effect caused by increased atmospheric concentrations of gases like carbon dioxide. Most of this temperature increase occurred during two distinct periods: from 1910 to 1945 and more significantly from 1976 onwards. This shift has led to various environmental changes, including retreating glaciers and rising sea levels, highlighting the global impact of climate change over the last hundred years.
