Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The two correct answers for ways warming temperatures contribute to rising sea levels are:

1. Thermal expansion: As temperatures increase, water expands and takes up more space, resulting in an increase in sea level.

2. Melting of ice: Warming temperatures cause land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice caps, to melt and flow into the sea, increasing the volume of water and thereby raising sea levels.
