During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
Sea level falls during ice ages because more water is locked up in glaciers.
What do scientists think will cause the next ice age?
sea level
Why should you concerned of rising sea levels?
Because if the sea level rises to much (because of the melting ice caps) it can cause floods of land that are not that high above sea level.
Why does sea level have to do with precipitation?
precipitation equals rain. As when sea water evaporates clouds form eventually leading to rain fall refilling the sea with the previously evaporated water. But not all rain water returns to the sea which is how the sea level changes due to precipitation.
Why does sea level rise and fall during interglacial and glacial periods?
During a glacial period (ice-age), a lot of water is held as ice, so lowering the sea level. When the ice melts during an interglacial period, the released water raises the sea level.
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
The rise and fall in sea level caused by gravity is called?
tide
What term is used to refer to the rise and fall sea level?
Tides
Is antarctica mostly above sea level?
One hundred percent of the Antarctic continent is above sea level, except at the beach, which is subject to the rise and fall of tides.
During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
Sea level falls during ice ages because more water is locked up in glaciers.
Why is greenlands ice sheets important?
it can cause sea level to rise
What cause sea level to rise?
Global Warming and the melting of ice.
What do scientists think will cause the next ice age?
sea level
Is air saturated or unsaturated at sea level?
There is not enough information to determine this. Just being at sea level does not cause the air to have a specific saturation (humidity).
Why should you concerned of rising sea levels?
Because if the sea level rises to much (because of the melting ice caps) it can cause floods of land that are not that high above sea level.
Why does sea level have to do with precipitation?
precipitation equals rain. As when sea water evaporates clouds form eventually leading to rain fall refilling the sea with the previously evaporated water. But not all rain water returns to the sea which is how the sea level changes due to precipitation.
What do you call the cyclical rise and fall of sea level is called?
The periodic fluctuation of the sea is called tides.
