As the world warms up, global sea levels rise due to two main factors: the thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets. Increased temperatures cause water to expand, while the melting ice contributes additional water to the oceans. This rise in sea levels poses significant risks to coastal communities and ecosystems. Additionally, higher temperatures can lead to more frequent and intense weather events, further impacting the environment.
When air warms up, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense. This can lead to changes in air pressure, which in turn affects weather patterns and can create wind as the warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it.
The heat rises in the form of infrared radiation, which is easily captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
As air rises, it experiences lower pressure and expands. This expansion causes the air to cool as it rises, rather than compress and warm. As the air cools, moisture may condense to form clouds and precipitation.
As warm, moist air rises up the western side of a mountain, it cools due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. This cooling causes the moisture in the air to condense, forming clouds and often resulting in precipitation. This process is known as orographic lift. Once the air descends on the eastern side of the mountain, it warms up and becomes drier, leading to a rain shadow effect.

Wind is always around because the sun is always around . A breeze / wind is created when the sun warms up the air. When the air is warmed up, it quickly rises up because heat rises up. As soon as it rises up, the cold air rushes in to take its place and that rush of cool air is wind.
A convection current. The sun warms the ground/sea, this warms the air, the hot air rises, and cold air rushes in to take its place.
When air warms up, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense. This can lead to changes in air pressure, which in turn affects weather patterns and can create wind as the warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it.
Fog rises when sunlight warms the air enough to bring up the temperature of air and fog cloud. Sun also lowers the condensation saturation. The fog does not clear, but the entire fog-cloud rises and goes on to just be a cloud in the sky.
Clouds heat up due to the process of adiabatic compression as air rises within a cloud. As the air rises, it cools due to expansion but warms as it descends, leading to an overall increase in temperature. This is governed by the ideal gas law and the principles of thermodynamics.
During the day the land heats up due to the sun. This warms the air over the land. The air rises, as it is now lighter. As the air over the land rises, cooler air over the sea, rushes in to take it's place.
When air rises, it expands and cools, which causes its density to decrease. Conversely, when air descends, it compresses and warms, which causes its density to increase.
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the "ocean" surface.
As far as regarding climate change, the Arctic warms the fastest.
