- Burning fossil fuel releases long-hidden carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that captures infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth.
- This extra greenhouse gas means that more and more heat is captured, causing a global warming.
- This warming is causing oceans to expand, as well as melting ice-caps and glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica.
- This expanding water plus the ice-melt in the oceans is raising the sea levels.
- The extra warmth in the atmosphere is giving additional energy to storms, cyclones and other weather events.
- This means that beaches, shorelines and low lying coastal areas are getting buffeted more and more from waves, storms and rising sea levels, causing erosion.

What is the effect of lowering temperature on the rate of burning?
it is the same
I am doing a presentation so I need to ask them questions on wind what kind of questions can I ask?
Is wind a major erosion character? What can wind cause? What effect does wind have on weather? ect ect
Is there a scientific term for the sun burning out?
Red Giant effect: When the primary fuel of the sun depleted, the fusion of 2H -> He stop at the core and the core contract. The surface is still burning but greatly expand with lower temperature from existing sun but a lot larger. Finally, when the sun really burn out it, the collapse remain mass become White Dwarf. All is part of stellar evolution. Process of Sun burning is Nuclear Fusion Reaction, refer to it as burning usually make confuse that the sun is chemically burn and require oxygen.
Does weathering and erosion effect rocks on the earth's surface only?
No of course not. Anywhere water has the ability to flow across, along, or through rocks it will erode the rock. If wind blows through an underground cavern it will weather the surface of the rocks it encounters.
What is a trough compass?
A Yardang is a rock protrusion that has been shaped by the erosion of wind and sand, such that the upwind side is bluff or undercut, and the downwind part is a diminishing blunt ridge.The compass part comes from the concept that the direction of the prevailing wind may be shown by analysing the effect.
What factor has the greatest effect on the shoreline?
Weathering and erosion.
What has the biggest effect in preventing soil erosion?
Burning trees
How can an erosion effect the ocean?
Erosion can impact the ocean by carrying sediment and pollutants into the water, affecting water quality and marine ecosystems. It can also cause loss of shoreline and damage to coastal habitats, leading to coastal erosion and changes in sediment distribution along the coast. Erosion can contribute to increased sedimentation in the ocean, affecting marine life and habitats.
Which effect the jetty have on shoreline?
nothing
Are there any longterm effect of bubonic plague?
Yes. Death, which is permanent.
How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion
Is there Weathering or Erosion in Dubai if so where and how?
In Dubai, both weathering and erosion processes occur. Weathering can be observed in older buildings where the structures are worn down due to exposure to sunlight, wind, and sand over time. Erosion is commonly seen along the coastline where the action of waves and currents slowly shape the shoreline and sand dunes.
Does an erosion effect people?

How can erosions effect the ocean?
erosion can effect the ocean because when there is erosion the sand will effect the height or space of the beach or ocean
What is the effect of changes in sea level on the shoreline?
That depends on the shore ... at a cliff there is little change, on a gentle slope then the "shore" will move quite a bit. And in a place like Florida it wouldn't take much to drown the state.
What effect over time would the tide have on the shoreline?
hell no b....
