    The graph shows what some scientists predict will happen to mean (average) world temperatures in the next 100 years. The graph shows by how many degrees the temperature differs from the mean temperature between 1961 and 1990. So, in 1900 the temperature was 0.3 C lower than the mean temperature between 1961 and 1990.

    What is the predicted temperature rise from now to the year 2100? ________________________________________________________ [1 mark]

    What is the possible effect of rising world temperatures on sea levels? ________________________________________________________ [1 mark]
