☆☆☆☆☆As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.
Global warming examples include rising temperatures, rising ocean levels, and decreases in global land and sea ... A global average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius or less in coming years.
They are wet.

Wetlands form an important environment for aquatic plants and animals. They are also a haven for migrating birds that have retreated from the bitter northern weather, to overwinter in milder climes.
Expansion contribute to the dilution of gas.
Compression involve an increase of concentration.
Erosion
ground water, melted water, and freshwater.
At a convergent boundary.
Frequent shallow earthquakes.
Ecology
It carries more water

headwaters
the sun's rays strike the water more directly near the equator.

The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
