What is the rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water called?
upwhelling
Are rising sea levels part of erosion or weathering?
The rising seas are due to neither of the above. Rising seas are caused firstly by the warm oceans expanding, and secondly, by the melting of glaciers and ice caps.
As ice sheets that covered North America thinned and melted following the end of the last ice age would the elevation of the land surface below the ice increase in elevation decrease or stay the same?
Most areas that were covered with thick continental ice sheets are still rising in elevation, due to what's called 'rebound'.
What will the glaciers do to the sea level rising?
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.
What provides the best evidence of Earth's climate change?
Rising temperaturesMelting glaciers, melting land ice and melting Arctic ice.Rising sea levels.
The rising of cold currents to the ocean surface is called?
The rising of the deep cold currents to the ocean surface is called
What effect will rising temps have on the earth?
melting glaciers -> flooding
What is The rising and falling of the oceans surface?
The rise and fall of the ocean's surface is called the tide. The tide is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
An enviromental phenomenon that may result in rising of sea levels?
Melting of glaciers.
What is the rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water called?

The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water is called .?
upwelling
What proof is there that temperatures are rising?
There is proof that the temperature is rising. This includes glaciers melting and more blue-green algae forming in the waters.
What are the reasons for the sea levels rising faster in the east of the UK where many lowlands are located?
Sea levels in southern and eastern England are rising faster than other parts of the world because the land itself is sinking. In contrast sea levels in northern UK will be lower because the land there is still rising. Glaciers there more than 10,000 years ago forced the land down with their great weight of ice. When the ice melted the land slowly began rising again, and it's still rising.
What is happening today that proves global warming is happening?
Sea levels are rising because warm water expands, and also from melted glaciers. The earth is becoming hotter because of the extra greenhouse gases. Satellites are measuring reduced radiation from the earth in the infrared wavebands that warm carbon dioxide (meaning that carbon dioxide is trapping the heat rising from the earth).
What are two signs of climate change?
More extreme weather, heat waves, cold spells, fierce cyclones.Sea levels rising because: Surface waters are warming and so expanding,Glaciers and ice caps are melting.
What are your claims that global warming is happening?
glaciers are melting,sea level is rising,temps are up
Where does hot material seem to be rising to the surface?
In Hawaii there is an island rising which is technically a volcano, so its hot. I think its called like lanai or something.... i'm not completely sure...
