How would an increase in the amount of solar energy reaching the earth's surface most likely affect sea level along the coastline of the US?

- An increase of solar activity reaching the earth's surface would warm the surface more.
- There would be an increase in the amount of infrared heat rising into the atmosphere.
- This heat would be retained by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing an increased warming of the earth.
- Extra warming would melt glaciers which flow off the land into the ocean raising sea levels.
- Extra heat in the oceans would make them expand raising sea levels all round the world (including the coastline of the US!).

How does deforestation affect water quality?
Deforestation removes the trees that hold the soil in place. Surface runoff is increased and the water reaching lakes and streams is contaminated with soil, making the water less pure.
How does an increase in surface area affect the rate of weathering?
If you do a chalk experiment, you will find out that increasing the surface area speeds the rate of weathering. The reaction/weathering will happen quicker. Most people are doing this in science. Your welcome
How does humidity affect the type of snow?
It has much more of an effect up in the so-called snow growth region of the clouds than it does at the surface. After all, snowflakes have already fully formed as they fall to the surface. At the surface, humidity tends to be pretty high. If it's not, the snow will sublimate before reaching the ground until the atmospheric column is saturated.
How can tornadoes affect the earth's surface?
Tornadoes can blow loose soil into the air and, in rare cases, severely scour the soil. Tornadoes may also increase erosion in places by destroying vegetation.

How does a surface affect friction?
Depending on the roughness or smoothness of the surface, it will increase friction if it is rough,(which has more microscopic hills and valleys). If the surface is made of a smooth material, it will decrease friction
