The oceans are rising because global warming is melting the ice caps and glaciers into the ocean and causing it to rise. Also warm water expands and this is also raising sea levels.
Sea level rise is real though at present small and is related to global warming. Sea levels rose by an average of 1.8 mm per year during the 20th century and accelerated to somewhere between 2.9 and 3.4 mm per year for the period 1993 to 2010. The main causes of sea level rise are melting ice sheets and glaciers and thermal expansion of sea water as the oceans warm. Sea level rise is not uniform - the distribution of the rise is affected by variations in the earth's gravitational field and by prevailing winds.
Extremely accurate measurements of sea level are made by satellites.
Sea levels are rising mainly because warm water expands, and the oceans have been warming steadily over the past 40 years. Melting land ice is also adding to rising sea levels.
A common error in climate debate is to focus on short term data instead of looking at long time trends. All sea level graphs (as well as temperature graphs) zig zag up and down. Some years sea levels go down, and the oceans cool, from cyclic events like La Niña (cooling) and El Niño (warming). Other years oceans warm and sea levels rise. Some people try to argue that a downward zag means the sea level rise has stopped, but the long term trend shows that last century sea levels were rising at 2 mm a year, and that since the later years of the 20th Century they have been rising at 3 mm a year.
With the consistent occurrence of global warming these past few years, no wonder the oceans and other bodies of water are increasing in size because of the melting of glaciers and sea ice.
NO, the new series is coming out on nickelodeon soon...
How about "Tide"
Yes the arctic ice caps are melting and the level of the worlds oceans is slowly rising.
The rising seas are due to neither of the above. Rising seas are caused firstly by the warm oceans expanding, and secondly, by the melting of glaciers and ice caps.
the oceans levels are rising and the ocean is getting warmer the oceans level is rising cause the ice is melting.
rising magma moves due to density differences
sea levels are rising due to global warming and this decreases land area, expanding the ocean area.
The rise and fall of the ocean's surface is called the tide. The tide is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Yes, sea levels are rising because of warming oceans and melting ice, but no, days will not get shorter.
No. The Moon doesn't rotate with respect to Earth; the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. So even if there were oceans with liquid water, there wouldn't be rising and falling tides as we have here.
Global warming is warming the oceans and making them more acidic. Warm water expands, so this means sea levels are rising. Acidic water damages coral and other marine creatures.
The roles of the oceans in El Nino and La Nina are that they control the climate of the pacific ocean which has rising air into the clouds and comes down as rain or snow hail sleet or anything that has anything to do with that.
