Question 2

Briefly explain the effects of rising sea level on the barrier islands along the United States coastlines. Why are coastal communities concerned?

[Kdiggy]

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Rising sea levels cause erosion, shoreward migration of barrier islands, and even submergence of barrier islands. This is of concern because so many expensive properties are located on barrier islands, and barrier islands protect the mainland from erosion and flooding and are a part of the natural coastal wetland habitat.
