Yes it is. For most of the last century sea levels rose at 2 mm a year, and since the later years of the 20th Century they have been rising at 3 mm a year. Warmer oceans mean that the warm water expands. This is the main cause of the rise. A secondary cause is the melting of land ice.

Is sea level rising or falling?

What causes rising sea level?
its because of global warming and o zone layer
What are your claims that global warming is happening?

Is global warming as bad as other natural phenomenon?
i think it is bad as it is raising the sea level which can result sinking of land masses.as the name 'global warming' says that heating of the earth which can result in perishing many living organisms.hence global warming is very bad.
Global warming has been proven to be directly linked with sea level rising through?
Melting icecaps and glaciers.
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.
Why would you think that global warming is happening?
Through several experiments and tests, it's quite evident that Global Warming is happening. The sea level is rising, the temperature is rising, the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has GREATLY increased, and the ice caps are melting. Everything is pointing to disaster, and that disaster is Global Warming.A:I respect the scientific opinion on this. Most climate scientists say that there is no doubt that global warming is happening and that we are contributing to that change.
What is currently happening to global sea level why?
global warming!
What is meant by hazards of global warming?
Hazards means dangers. One hazard of global warming is the melting of ice caps and glaciers, which makes water levels to rise, so that there is a danger low level lying areas will get submerged in the rising waters.
How does the rise in sea level support the theory of global warming?
If sea levels are rising this can be caused by two things:Extra water added to the oceans. This can only come from land ice melting.Ocean water expanding as it gets warmer.We know that sea levels are rising because our satellites measure this. This therefore supports the theory of global warming.
What are the advantages of open cast mining?
AdvantagesJobs will be available for the people of the are. DisadvantagesCo2, Global warming,Smoke, dust, Bad atmosphere around the area, rising sea level.
What is the difference between global warming and climate changes?
Global warming is the warming of the atmosphere, oceans and surface of the earth. This warming is causing climate change, which will mean different things all over the planet, increased rainfall, decreased rainfall, storms, sea level rises and destruction of human and animal habitats.
