Shoreline erosion and coastal flooding are two consequences of climate change.True or false?

True.

Shoreline erosion and coastal flooding are indeed two consequences of climate change. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. Shoreline Erosion: - As climate change leads to the warming of the planet, polar ice caps and glaciers melt, increasing sea levels. This rise in sea levels can lead to more erosion of coastlines as the higher waters eat away at beaches and land. - Furthermore, climate change can result in more extreme and frequent weather events such as storms and hurricanes which can exacerbate the intensity and rate of shoreline erosion.

2. Coastal Flooding: - Higher sea levels due to the melting of ice also mean that storm surges and high tides can reach further inland than before, leading to coastal flooding. - Changes in precipitation patterns and an increase in the frequency and severity of rainstorms can also contribute to flooding in coastal areas as the ability of the land to absorb or drain away the additional water is overwhelmed.
