Best Answer

As the sea level increases, the atmospheric pressure also increases. Due to the increase in pressure, Gamma radiation (solar heat) gets trapped in the atmosphere after it bounces off Earth's surface. The more radiation that stays in the atmosphere, the warmer our global climate becomes. This will cause more polar ice to melt, sea levels to rise, and more heat to become trapped.

What is pollution doing to antarctica?

the pollution causes global warming. this then heats up the atmosphere. this increases the worldwide temperature in the atmosphere. the iceburgs melt and the sea level rises and countries that are less than 1000 feet above sea level would be drowned by the sea


What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?

As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.


What change happens in the outside air as an airplane flies higher in the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is densest at sea level, so as the density of air goes down, so does the atmospheric pressure. The atmosphere gets less and less dense as you rise higher above the sea level.


What is the layer of the atmosphere at sea level?

This is the troposphere, the lowest level of Earth's atmosphere


What happens to the density of air as you go further below sea level?

It increases by 1 atmosprere every 33 feet.


What happens to the density of air as you go further below sea level altitude but in dry land?

Density always increases as altitude decreases. So the air density below sea level will be greater than the air density at sea level.


How can storms be affected by global warming?

Because of global warming the temprature of the earths atmosphere increases and due to which ice on the glaciers is melting and sea level rises .the chance of coming stroms increases.


How and why do temperature and pressure vary with ocean depth?

At sea level,the pressure of the atmosphere pushing down on the ocean surface is reffered to as 1 atmosphere of pressure.An atmosphere is the pressure exerted on a surface at sea level by the column of air above it.As you go below the oceans surface ,the pressure increases because of the force of the water molecules pushing down.


Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?

The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases


Where is the atmosphere the heaviest on Earth?

At sea level


In which temperature zones does the atmospheric temperature increase as the distance above sea level increases?

The temperature zones in which the atmospheric temperature increases as the distance above sea level increases are the stratosphere and the thermosphere.


Does glacial advance decreases or increases sea level?

Glacial advance would lower sea level.
