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.

How do environmental issues affect Antarctica?

Global warming is melting all of the ice which will make all of the animals that live there die and sea levels will rise.

Becuz heat is warming up ice caps and glaciers and they melt and make the sea level rise, and then once it gets high enough wer all gonna drown and slowly die.


What is causing sea levels to rise all over the world?

most believe it is the melting of the polar ice caps.


What will the glaciers do to the sea level rising?

As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.


Why is antarctica important to aglobla warming?

Almost all of Antarctica is covered by ice, so it's greatly affected by a global rise in temperatures. When this ice melts and glaciers collapse, sea levels all over the world rise.


Do hurricanes form in the mesosphere?

No. Hurricanes occur in the troposphere, as does nearly all weather on earth.


Where do hurricanes start mostly?

All hurricanes start over the warm tropical oceans.


What global effects will an increase in temperature have?

An increase in temperature will lead to more frequent and severe heatwaves, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers causing sea levels to rise, shifts in ecosystems as plants and animals adapt to changing climates, and increased frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and droughts.


What if the polar ice caps were to melt all of what would occur?

Sea levels would rise all round the world, flooding coastal towns and croplands.


Is a tornado associated with hurricanes?

It is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes at landfall. But most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes and not all hurricanes produce tornadoes.


Does Antarctica have permanent ice?

No one day all the ice will melt then the sea levels will rise and flood parts of many countries.


Does a hurricane or a cyclone involve us more?

Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
