If ALL the ice on earth melted, sea level would rise around 220 feet. Las Vegas is about 2,028 feet elevation. That gives you about 1,828 feet of buffer!
the ocean will rise.
This is due to the fact that, as the ocean is warmed up slowly from global warming, the probabilty of hurricanes increase.
Global warming examples include rising temperatures, rising ocean levels, and decreases in global land and sea ... A global average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius or less in coming years.
Tipping point gets its name from, for example, an object falling off a table. There is a moment when it has tilted too far and is unable to get back. With climate change global warming is changing the composition of gases in the atmosphere. It may get to the stage when everything changes over to a new situation, impossible to change back. A tipping point could be with the sea ice in the Arctic. As the white ice melts from the warmer atmosphere, it exposes the darker ocean beneath. The darker ocean does not reflect the sun's rays like the ice does, so the ocean warms more than the ice did. The warmer ocean melts more ice, and so on.
Any of them. They all react to temperature and change in salinity.
It melts the polar ice caps, causing extra water in the ocean.
Yes. Global warming melts ice. Its not the ice that already drifts on the seas that is a problem, it displaces the volume of its weight, so if it melts, water levels will not rise. But the ice that covers land does not do this. If it melts, it will increase ocean levels.
This is one of the feedback loops of global warming. Global warming melts the ice and oceans. This releases methane (CH4) hydrates from the bottom of the ocean. The methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that in turn causes more global warming. So more methane melts, and so on.
Global warming does not really affect ocean pollution. However, ocean pollution is something that is effecting global warming. This is because the pollutants are what is causing the warming trend.
Warming temperatures and ocean currents melts the Antarctic.
It is because of pollution and global warming.
the ocean will rise.
Global warming may cause the ocean to rise. If the ocean rises, then many places that are below sea level will flood.
An ocean can become bigger when glaciers start melting (Global Warming does this)
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
'Global' means 'throughout the globe', so global warming affects ALL of the globe, whatever the altitude and whether it is land or ocean.
Yes, because you are dumping harmful things for animals into the ocean.
