What do scientific models predict will happen to earth's temperature if current trends continue unmitigated? a. earth will heat and cool in a natural cycle b. earth will heat up and then return to an ice age c. earth will continue to warm at a rate of 0.25 c per decade d. earth will start to cool at a rate of 0.25 c per decade appex

C. Earth will continue to warm at a rate of 0.25 C per decade

Explanation:

The exploration of the causes and effects of global warming led scientists to build various climate models, i.e computer simulations of the climate system. These computer simulations  designed to simulate the response and interaction of ocean and atmosphere. Moreover, these models comply to the laws of physics, namely conservation of energy, mass and momentum. Also, these models have powerful tools that use real world data to understand the ways of climate changes. Using these data, the experimentation with the models, like removing greenhouse gases or changing the sun’s intensity, helps to understand how these factors impact climate. Through this scientists can help to predict the future climatic impacts.

The study has predicted that at the rate which world is consuming fossil fuels, the concentration of greenhouse gases will continue to rise and earths average surface temperature is due to rise with them. An average of is expected by end of 21st century.

On the basis of the above explanation is:  

The scientific models predict that Earth will continue to warm at a rate of 0.25C per decade if current trends continue unmitigated.

d. groundwater flows through the subsoil and deposits minerals.
