The two correct answers are:

  1. Continental snow and ice melt.
  2. Water expands as it warms.

Sea ice melting does not contribute to rising sea levels because it is already floating in the ocean. Rainfall increases can affect local conditions but is not a direct contributor to rising sea levels.
