What could be the effects of global warming on coastal areas?
If sea levels should start to rise as the United Nations (through their working group called the IPCC) feels that it might, increased flooding of very low areas could start to occur. We have not yet experienced an increase sea level rise beyond what has been experienced for many decades. In fact this past year marked a very unusual event, sea level change was actually negative against all model projections. This, dovetailed with the fact that sea level change has been slowing means this is not a current or immediately imminent projection based on actual data.A:As global warming continues, the oceans are beginning to warm. Warm water expands in volume. That is the main reason for the present rise in sea levels. The second reason is the melting of glaciers and ice caps. So a rise in sea levels will flood coastal areas.
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.
Rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns are possible outcomes of what?
The greenhouse effect
Why is a sea breeze thunderstorm considered a type of air mass thunderstorm?
A sea breeze may lead to a thunderstorm if the cool sea breeze forces warm air to rise which creates a convection cell that creates strong updrafts that lead to a thunderstorm. This is how a sea breeze may lead to the formation of a thunderstorm.
What twice daily event would cause water levels around Jamestown to rise and cause wells and fresh water stream to become brackish?
G
How does sea level rise?
Sea levels rise with the tides.
How does the rise in sea level affect the thundering?
A rise in sea levels will not affect the thundering.
Do ice shelves cause sea level to rise?
If the ice shelves are on land, then, yes, when they melt, sea levels will rise. If they are floating, then sae levels will not rise.
Why do sea levels rise when ice sheets melt?
When ice sheets melt, the water from the ice flows into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise.
What will happen if the ice melts?
the earths sea levels will rise
What is causing worldwide sea levels to rise?
global warming
Why is the increase of co2 making sea levels rise?
The increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere leads to higher global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. This causes ice sheets and glaciers to melt, adding more water to the oceans and causing sea levels to rise. Additionally, warmer water expands, further contributing to the rise in sea levels.
How does heat effect the earth?
The warmth heats up the icebergs in the sea. this causes sea levels to rise....
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
Do all hurricanes make sea levels rise?
No. Hurricanes can cause storm surges, especially if combined with high tides, which can overwhelm levees and flood coastal areas temporarily. They do not raise global sea levels. The melting of ice caps and glaciers and the expansion of the warming oceans will raise sea levels.
What is it called when sea levels rise and ice caps melt?
global warming!
What is the primary factor contributing to the rise in sea levels worldwide?
The primary factor contributing to the rise in sea levels worldwide is the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers due to global warming caused by human activities.
