Why would a rise in temperature cause a rise in sea level?

Answer 1

Water expands as it becomes warmer, so global warming heats the ocean and cause the water to expand. The loss of glacial ice (but not sea ice) is another contributor to rising sea levels. These events have resulted in a rise of 20 centimetres over the course of the twentieth century. As recently as 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change predicted a further rise of 59 centimetres for the twenty first century, but recent data has now resulted in the United Nations Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program to revise this prediction upwards, to 0.9-1.5 metres.

A:The most widespread belief is that the general rise in global temperature is due to elevated CO2 production (from manufacturing, consumption and combusting fiossil fuels).

This is believed to be melting ice caps and surfaces located near and on the poles of the earth. This melted ice then flows into the rivers and seas causing the sea level to rise.

However, note that this topic is a heated debate with strong evidence at each spectum of the debate. Sea levels rising are a fact and so is elevated global temperatures (the link between the two is generally accepted by most). What is being debated is the cause of it.

Answer 2

if cabondioxide increases then immediately tempreture increases it effects global warming when tempreture rises the earth surface's tempreture will be increased that due to the rise of the sea waves in the sea.
