It can do. Winds in the atmosphere cause waves. Also the low pressure in the centre of a depression can cause a elevation in sea level called a storm surge.

Why doesn't the water vapor rise above these other gases to a higher level of the atmosphere?

The cool atmosphere condenses the rising water vapor and causes it to fall back to Earth


When the anchor is thrown into the water will the water level in the pool drop or rise?

The anchor displaces water and the water level will rise.


Does the level of CO2 in the atmosphere rise or fall over time?

The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has been rising over time.


Why does sea level rise?

When things get added to the ocean, sea levels rise. Think of it as having a glass of water and then adding ice cubes to it, the level of the water rises when the cubes are added. On a global scale, if a large piece of ice (such as a glacier) moved off the land it was sitting on and into the water (either as chunks or by melting), it will cause the sea level to rise a little.


Why then doesn't water vapor rise above these other gases to a higher level of the atmosphere?

Water vapor does rise above other gases in the atmosphere, forming clouds and contributing to the greenhouse effect. However, it can't reach higher altitudes because it condenses and forms droplets or ice crystals, which eventually fall as precipitation.


What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?

The rise and fall is the tides.


Does adding more carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere cause the temperature to rise?

yes


What will happend when you add marbles in water?

What procces allows the water to enter the atmosphere?

The process that allows water to enter the atmosphere is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when the heat from the Sun causes liquid water to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.


What process of water does water vapor rise into the atmosphere?

water rises into the atmosphere in the process of evaporation


Why will a rise in temperature result in a rise of sea levels?

A rise in temperature causes ice caps and glaciers to melt, contributing to an increase in the volume of water in the oceans. Warmer temperatures also cause water to expand, further adding to rising sea levels.


Why would melting the Arctic ice cap not cause a rise in sea level on its own?

If you put an ice cube in a glass of water the water level will rise because the cube displaces the water. Now if you check the water level after the cube melts, it will be the same. So ocean levels will not change if floating chunks of ice melt. However, If the ice is on land and melts and the water runs into the ocean, that will increase the water level.
