Which of the following is not an environmental impact of using fossil fuels?

The correct answer is: Sea level rise

• Global warming, pollution, and community health concerns are all brought on by the use of fossil fuels. The impacts of fossil fuels on the environment include:
• Sea Level Rise: As temperatures rise and the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere grows due to the combustion of fossil fuels, the sea level fluctuates for a number of reasons. Climate change is anticipated to cause the seas to rise more quickly, increasing the risk of flooding along our coasts.
• Acid rain: Oil spills harm marine habitats, and sulfur dioxide emitted from untreated coal smoke can combine with other substances to generate acid rain. Even so-called "clean" energy sources like nuclear can pollute water, therefore the problem with uncontrolled fuel spills is that they affect the health of people and animals as well as plants.
• Greenhouse effect: Fossil fuel combustion releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is known as the "greenhouse effect." This gas acts as a greenhouse and prevents sunlight reflected off the earth's surface from escaping into the atmosphere. Consequently, the atmosphere's temperature rose to cause global warming.
• Land Degradation: Pollutants produced by the burning of fossil fuels aid in the destruction of the environment. Black carbon (soot), a large pollutant released by the burning of fossil fuels, is a major factor in the global deterioration of land. Snow and ice covered in soot can melt more quickly, while soil covered in soot can have less plant growth, require more water, and erode more quickly. According to estimates, nearly one-third of the carbon dioxide that humans release into the atmosphere annually gets absorbed by the world's forests. By the process of photosynthesis, which involves absorbing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen, trees and other plants do this.
• All carbon dioxide that has been stored in fossil fuels is released back into the atmosphere when they are burned.
