Sea level rise is a major threat to the people living in coastal areas. The sea level is rising mainly because of the melting of the polar ice. Both the North pole as well as the South Pole have a thick cover of ice but due to the change in the climatic conditions this polar ice is melting slowly and slowly and as a result releasing more water in our vast oceans. This increase of water in oceans thus results in the increase of sea level.
With this rise of sea level the coastal areas of most of the countries will be submerged under water and the human inhabitants of these places have to leave and look for other places. This rise in sea level is becoming the major threat of this century mainly due to rise in temperature every year.
- There is a news that the Maldive islands will be submerged under the sea in near future due to this alarming increase of the sea level.
- Land is decreasing and the time is not far away when the whole will be under water
- The major cities will be covered with the sea
- Lots of towns would be underwater.
- Bangladesh would disappear.
- Towns that were once a short distance from the sea would become coastal towns.
- Many low lying countries will be under water, including large parts of the USA, UK, Holland, Bangla Desh, and many Pacific Island countries.

What is a seamount and how does it rise above sea level?
A seamount is an underwater mountain that rises from the ocean floor. It can rise above sea level through volcanic activity or tectonic movements, pushing the seamount higher and eventually breaking the surface of the water.
What happens to magma that rises though cracks on the seafloor?
When magma rises through cracks on the seafloor, it can result in the formation of underwater volcanic structures like mid-ocean ridges or seamounts. As the magma reaches the surface, it can solidify and create new oceanic crust through a process called seafloor spreading. Eruptions can also produce hydrothermal vents, which support unique ecosystems due to the extreme conditions.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid ocean ridge?
As the oceanic lithosphere moves away from a mid-ocean ridge, it cools and thickens. This process causes the ocean floor to become older and denser, resulting in its gradual subsidence. The farther it gets from the ridge, the deeper the ocean floor becomes due to the increased thickness and weight of the lithosphere.
What undersea volcanic formation that rises at least 1000 meters above the surrounding sea floor is called a?
seamount
In the process of sea floor spreading what happens when magma rises to the earths surface and solidifies?
Yes. Seafloor spreading is the term given to the creation of new seafloor at divergent boundaries. At a divergent boundary, two oceanic plates move apart, which obviously means that something must then surface to fill the void. This is where the magma rises from the Earth's interior and cools to become seafloor. On the other end, at convergent boundaries, the old seafloor is forced under the continental plates, where it is recycled back into the Earth's magma supply.
What happens to a coral reef if the sea level rises or if the sea floor spreads?
It continues to grow upward
What happens when the temperature rises above 100 in the coral reef?
It dies, coral bleaching.
What happens when the price level rises?
the demad goes down.
What happens to water level when salt is added?
it rises slightly
If aggregate demand rises what happens to real GDP what happens to the price level?
Inflation.
What is the tallest mountain from the sea floor level?
Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest mountain in the world from base to summit, when measured from the sea floor level. It rises about 10,203 meters (33,474 feet) from its base on the ocean floor to its summit.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid-ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.

What happens when domestic income rises?
What happens when domestic income rises?
What happens to the atmospheric pressure as one rises from sea level to the therosphere?
Rising from the sea level to the higher levels will result in decrease of temperature and pressure.
