Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) is warming the planet. The oceans are expanding and the ice caps are melting causing sea levels to rise.
What is causing sea levels to rise all over the world?
most believe it is the melting of the polar ice caps.
How does sea level rise?
Sea levels rise with the tides.
How will global warming cause the sea level to rise and the low lying coastal regions to flood?
Global warming is melting glaciers and ice caps and causing ocean waters to warm and expand. This means that sea-levels will rise causing permanent flooding.
Which is a possible outcome of global warming?
hurricanes and other extreme weather will increase
Is Antarctica causing sea level rise?
No. Antarctica is a continent. It is mostly covered by ice. It does nothing by sit there surrounding the south pole. The ice that is melting on Antarctica is contributing to the rise of sea levels, but the continent is not doing this.
What might happen to coastal tourist industries if sea levels continue to rise?
Coastal tourist industries will be underwater if sea levels continue to rise. Global warming is melting glaciers and causing thermal ocean expansion, so sea levels are rising. Low-lying countries and cities are being flooded, especially when there are storm surges.
Do ice shelves cause sea level to rise?
If the ice shelves are on land, then, yes, when they melt, sea levels will rise. If they are floating, then sae levels will not rise.
How does the rise in sea level affect the thundering?
A rise in sea levels will not affect the thundering.
How is climate change causing a rise in sea levels?
The warming climate is leading to rapid melting of glacial ice which is leading to sea level rise of around an inch per decade. This rate is expected to increase as ice melt accelerates and ice breaks off from shelves and enters the water. Some experts predict the sea levels to rise by 2-3 feet by 2100.
What does fossil fuels lead to?
burning fossil fuels create carbon dioxide which trap the heat from the sun causing our planet to warm up, this is causing the ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise.
