Greenhouse gasses melt polar and Antarctic ice, which turns into water, rising the sea level. Hope this helped. :)

Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the planet. The oceans are expanding and the ice caps are melting causing sea levels to rise.
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
What might happen to coastal tourist industries if sea levels continue to rise?
Coastal tourist industries will be underwater if sea levels continue to rise. Global warming is melting glaciers and causing thermal ocean expansion, so sea levels are rising. Low-lying countries and cities are being flooded, especially when there are storm surges.
Will inland rivers such as those in northern Mississippi flood if sea levels rise?
No, rivers will flood at low-lying area near their mouths, where the sea levels will rise. The height of river water depends on the rainfall received into the watershed. If sea level rises, that will have no effect on flow rate upstream.
What is the predicted sea level rise by 2100?
The latest scientific prediction is for sea levels to rise between 90 and 150 centimetres by 2100, depending on our success in minimising our greenhouse gas emissions.
How is global warming and the green house simaler?
they both are creating heat, while the earht is getting hot the ice melts and the sea levels rise...
How does sea level rise?
Sea levels rise with the tides.
If the green house gases increased what would the gobal temperature do?
It would rise, leading to sea level rise.
Do ice shelves cause sea level to rise?
If the ice shelves are on land, then, yes, when they melt, sea levels will rise. If they are floating, then sae levels will not rise.
How does the rise in sea level affect the thundering?
A rise in sea levels will not affect the thundering.
Why will a rise in temperature result in a rise of sea levels?
Atmospheric pressure will rise due to the heat level
What is causing worldwide sea levels to rise?
global warming
What will happen if the ice melts?
the earths sea levels will rise
Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the planet. The oceans are expanding and the ice caps are melting causing sea levels to rise.
How does heat effect the earth?
The warmth heats up the icebergs in the sea. this causes sea levels to rise....
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
What is it called when sea levels rise and ice caps melt?
global warming!
