- Sea levels will rise because warmer water expands.
- Sea levels will rise as glaciers and ice caps continue to melt, moving water from land into the oceans.
In 2000, it was claimed the ice caps would be gone by 2010, and there would be drastic sea level rises around the world, flooding coastal cities. It hasn't happened.
If the caps did indeed melt, it could happen, but so far the dire predictions have not occurred.
What else can I help you with?
Summarize What would likely happen as a result of global warming.?
If global warming continues, scientists predict that weather events like storms, floods and droughts will become more severe and more common. Ice caps and glaciers will melt causing sea levels to rise. This will affect low lying countries, especially in the Pacific Islands.
What term best describes worldwide temperatures rising above their natural levels?
Global warming
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to What?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What landmasses will be under water if global warming continues?
If global warming continues, low-lying landmasses such as parts of the Maldives, Tuvalu, and various coastal regions worldwide are at risk of being submerged due to rising sea levels. The exact extent of land loss will depend on the rate of global temperature rise and the effectiveness of mitigation efforts.
What will happen to the North Pole if global warming continues?
Hot or cold there will always be a north magnetic and a north geographic pole on Earth. The environment in these areas may change through the warming processes of global climate change as well as ice cover and sea level but the poles will remain.
What is causing worldwide sea levels to rise?
global warming
What is global warming about?
Global warming is caused by human activity. The planet is warming and this warming is changing the climate. Sea levels are rising and threaten many low-lying areas and cities permanently.
What will happen if the temperature increase in the atmosphere is ignored?
Ignoring temperature increase in the atmosphere can lead to accelerated global warming, resulting in more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruption of ecosystems. This can have devastating effects on agriculture, human health, and biodiversity, ultimately impacting the overall balance of the planet.
Who does global warming change the world?
Global warming has changed the world by making changes in the weather. It has also affected the sea levels and the ecosystems.
What will happen to Antarctica if global warming continues?
Antarctica will melt if the temperatures do rise, this will result in a loss of many species of animals and a rise In the sea levels. Global Warming is NO joke, it is serious and is actually happening. Also, research for finding cures will be eliminated as there won't be enough land to experiment on meaning we might not find better cures for diseases. (Irrelevant information)The Antarctic ice sheet is getting larger, not smaller. NASA admitted this. So logic says at this rate, it continues to grow.
Worldwide temperatures rising above their natural levels?
This is global warming.
How will global warming affect Maroochydore in Australia?
It's not possible to say accurately what will happen to Maroochydore in the future. Global warming is happening all over the world. Some places will be drier than before. Other places will be wetter than before. Warming causes weather, so more warming is certainly going to affect the weather. Low lying countries and coastlines and cities will be in danger from rising sea levels. Warming oceans expand, and this is causing the rise firstly. Melting glaciers and ice caps are a secondary reason. Places too cold for agriculture may be able to be farmed, but much of the present croplands may have to adapt or be abandoned if global warming continues.
