Why is the sea water and freshwater pH different?
Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.
How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
Global Sea Levels are expected to rise.
How does the temperature affect the circulation of the ocean?
Higher temperatures in the polar regions can increase sea levels by melting more ice. In the ocean, increased temperatures result in greater evaporation and can therefore increase precipitation over both the ocean and the land.
How does sea levels affect the spheres?
No
Why would rising sea levels be concern in Netherlands?
Netherlands means "low lands" and by rising the sea levels there's a chance of them flooding.
What happens to the atmospheric pressure as one rises from sea level to the therosphere?
Rising from the sea level to the higher levels will result in decrease of temperature and pressure.
If polar ice masses melt as a result of global warming sea levels will what?
sea levels will increase!
Explain why sea levels would rise as a result of global warming?
Water expands when it warms. So sea levels rise.The Antarctic ice caps melt as a result of global warming. This puts more water into the oceans thus raising sea levels.
An enviromental phenomenon that may result in rising of sea levels?
Melting of glaciers.
Would the loss of striatal neurons result in higher or lower GABA levels?
lower
What is the effect of global warming on coastal areas?
In so far as global warming will decrease the amounts of polar ice, that melted water does result in a higher Sea Level. National Geographic June 2011 - Earth 56 million years ago - Sea Levels 225 feet higher than now.
Why is the sea water and freshwater pH different?
Since sea water is much denser than freshwater, the pH level would be higher. The saline levels in the sea water contributes to a higher acidic level.
Why will a rise in temperature result in a rise of sea levels?
Atmospheric pressure will rise due to the heat level
Why can we float easier in the sea than in a freshwater lake?
The density of salt water is higher than fresh water.
How do scientists infer that some mountains were once underwater?
By looking at the different layers of material that make up a mountain you can determine if a mountain was once under the sea. There are fossil layers within the layers of rock and soil that make up the mountain. If there are layers containing fossils consistent with sea life a scientist could infer that that mountain was once under the sea. This could be the result of higher sea levels in the past or it could be the result of tectonic processes that have formed the mountains by pushing the land high above sea level.
When the glaciers that covered large parts of Earth melted after the last ice age did the the sea levels become higher?
Yes
What may increase of carbon dioxide in the earths atmosphere lead to?
contamination of air, overgroth of plants, increased chances of fires, higher sea levels, more carbon dioxide (from fires), lower sea levels as the CO2 gets even higher, eventually if the trend continues you will have either a Mars or Venus left of Earth.
