How does changes in global temperature have an impact on sea level?

The sea being liquid is less dense than land (solid). The sea therefore heats to a greater depth, but the depth means that in summer the sea takes longer to heat up than the land. Once it is warmed up however, it retains the heat for a lot longer, and takes longer to cool down in Winter. This means the further away from the sea you are, the warmer the summers you'll have, but the cooler the winters you'll have. And by the same token as above the nearer the sea the less likely you are to be freezing in winter & baking in summer, the climate is more Equable (or moderate). The winds from the sea are what actually makes the climate this way as the winds take their temperature from the sea. eg. Cold sea = cold winds and hot sea = hot winds.
The sea can also affect rainfall in an area as the winds move in and become drier as they go. The further inland the place is the drier the climate because the wind brings moisture but the moisture dries as the winds travel further inland.

∙ 11y agoI 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.

∙ 10y agoWhen the global temperature rises, the ice caps melt. When land ice and glaciers melt this ends up increasing the volume of the oceans and rising the sea level.
so, higher temp = higher sea level

∙ 16y agots more the other way round really. the temp affects sea level

∙ 15y agoIf the temperature is hot enough, water will evaporate and lower sea level, and vice versa.

What could happen if you let globle warmig happen?
Global warming simply means an increase in atmospheric temperature on a global level. One significant effect effect of this temperature rise is the melting of our polar ice caps, which will eventually result in a rise in sea level.
Do sound waves increase or decrease above sea level?
The sound has really nothing to do with sea level, but changes with temperature alone. The speed of sound goes up when the temperature goes up and goes down when the temperature goes down. The frequency of sound columns, like of woodwinds or of church organs changes with temperature. If the temperature increases, the frequency increases also.
Is there a map showing the projected impact of global warming on the southern US coastline?
There is a map where you can see the effect of sea level rise at the link below. At the top left you can set the sea level rise to 0 meters to see the present coastline. Changing the sea level rise to 5 meters or 50 meters will make changes on the map.
What 3 levels are used by geographers to look at the world?
the different levels of geography are local level,regional level,global level..
What is the worst part about global warming?
The worst consequence of global warming is the possible extinction of the human race because of excess of CO2 in the air, rising ocean levels wiping out certain areas and global temperature increase to a level that is not suitable for human biological existence.
Is global warming affecting monkeys in fiji?
Global warming is having a massive impact on monkeys in Fiji. Accelerated sea level rise, deforestation, climatic changes and less rainfall has led to a reduced population of monkeys.
Changes in temperature and carbon dioxide level show a?
Correlation.
How did globalization contributed in the interaction and changes in the culture on the global level?
globalization affected trade and culture

What daily changes affect the rockpool habitat?
Some Daily changes in a rockpool are:Water TemperatureWater levelSand level
What does PIR detect?
detect any changes in the environment (noise level, vibration, temperature)
What has the author R Lefeber written?
R. Lefeber has written: 'An inconvenient responsibility' -- subject(s): Greenhouse gas mitigation, Climatic changes, Global warming, Sea level 'An inconvenient responsibility' -- subject(s): Greenhouse gas mitigation, Climatic changes, Global warming, Sea level
Why do scientists recognize a boundary between layers at about 12 kilometers above sea level?
the way the altitude changes the temperature changes

How does global warming affect cyclones?
Due to global warming the rainfall pattern changes, sea level rises as the glacier melts. This whole thing results in more cyclones and hurricanes.
Why does sea ice in antarctica have such an impact on your global weather?
the ice will melt and the water level will incrase and our land area will inside the ocean or sea only
