When ocean levels rise it is typically not a good thing. As the sea level increases, the water will reach farther and the land mass will decrease as the coasts become submerged. With many cities and ports located close to the ocean, this can be very dangerous. This permanent rise in water would be capable of wiping out these areas, as well as completely erasing certain islands.

If icebergs melt in the north of the Arctic Circle how will this influence ocean levels?
Ocean levels will rise.
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is an?
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is tidal energy. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy that scientists have found ways to use for energy supply required around the world.
What are the release dates for The Daily Orbit - 2012 Aquarius Satellite Shows Ocean Salinity Levels Are on the Rise 1-128?
The Daily Orbit - 2012 Aquarius Satellite Shows Ocean Salinity Levels Are on the Rise 1-128 was released on: USA: 1 March 2013
Could salt levels raise in the ocean?
Not all the oceans, no. However if an ocean gets cut off from the rest of the oceanic water, then yes the salt levels can rise as the ocean evaporates (such as happened to the Zechstein sea in Europe during the Permian).
To what levels did the ocean rise in previous warm periods?
60 to 120 feet above current levels ... but the land only look vaguely like it does now.
Is it true that Ocean levels rise during an ice age due to an increase in moisture retention in Earth's global biosphere?
yes it is true
Can global warming cause the oceans to rise?
Yes. Global warming melts ice. Its not the ice that already drifts on the seas that is a problem, it displaces the volume of its weight, so if it melts, water levels will not rise. But the ice that covers land does not do this. If it melts, it will increase ocean levels.
When was Saba you rise from the ocean created?
Saba you rise from the ocean was created in 1960.
What happens if calcitonin levels rise?
Osteoclasts activity is inhibited and blood calcium levels rise.
If the ocean rises fast can humans evolve fast enough to survive?
Evolution is a very slow process, so if the ocean levels rose very fast humans would not evolve fast enough to survive, however they may develop technology to counteract it. It is also very unlikely that the ocean levels will rise that quickly.
Where does the water come from for the rising sea levels?
As the world warms as a result of the increasing level of atmospheric carbon dioxide, so the ocean water warms. As water warms it expands, causing global sea levels to rise. Another cause of rising sea levels is the melting of glaciers and ice caps, releasing water into the ocean. Overall, sea levels have risen 20 centimetres in the last century, and are now predicted to rise by 90 to 150 centimetres during the twenty-first century.
What is the relationship between the rise of ocean temperatures and the rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The relationship between the rise of ocean temperatures and the rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is that when there is a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide the warmer the temperature of the ocean is
