What Eustatic sea level change affects shorelines?
Warming (and thus expanding) water from the warming atmosphere, as well as water melting from glaciers and ice caps is causing the eustatic (world-wide) sea level change that is threatening the shorelines.
What is the level of the ocean's surface called?
Yes, mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the sea.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
Elevation at sea level is what?
Elevation at sea level is elevation zero feet or meters above sea level.
What does a mile above sea level mean?
The sea is at a particular level compared to land. Most land is above sea level (or it would be under the sea or very far inland). If you are a mile above sea level, then you are a mile above where the sea would be if there was no land there.
What is the distance above sea level that affects temperature wind and soil?
elevation
How is the rising sea level affecting community living?
Rising sea level affects communities by creating a coastal flooding hazard for buildings. It also affects the amount of fresh water available as the salt water creeps inland.
How does the height above sea level affects the temperature?
I learned the answer to this in science this year, so don't worry, it is accurate: The higher above sea level/elevation you are, the colder the temperature becomes. The reason for this is because there are air molecules in the air bump closer together when you are lower above sea level- that creates warm weather. The higher above sea level you go, (for example, the tops of mountains,) the more separated and spaced out the molecules become, which causes cold weather. This is the ACCURATE answer to how elevation affects temperature.

How does your environment affect desalination?
global warming affects the sea level and that gives us less water to desalinate and it also effects the sea life so that is more harmful especially with desalination
What is the opposite of below sea level?
above sea level
What are the factors that effect air pressure?
The main factor that affects the air pressure at a given location is the altitude (or height above sea level) of that location.
Why is the moon connected to the sea?
the moon gravity affects the sea
What is the level of the ocean's surface called?
Yes, mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the sea.
Is a plateau above sea level or below sea level?
Above sea level.
The lowest point in the state of Hawaii?
The lowest point in Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean at sea level. what the heck!
How high is sea level?
Well, sea level is the standard by wich other things are measured, so zero is the answer. Sea level is sea level. Compared to what?
