Change in sea level is most affected by ____.
A) precipitation
B) evaporation
C) river influx
D) rates of seafloor spreading
E) glacial ice volumes and tectonic activity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of glacial ice and tectonic activity (such as uplift or subsidence) can have significant impacts on sea level change. Precipitation, evaporation, and river influx can affect local water levels, but do not typically cause long-term changes in global sea level. Rates of seafloor spreading can also have an effect on sea level, but this influence is generally small and occurs over very long timescales.
