The earth is going through a period of warming, known as global warming. As the earth becomes warmer the Ice in very cold parts of the world begins to melt. Instead of floating on top of the water in solid form, this now melted water goes (diffuses) into the ocean, causing the seal level to 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.
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.
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
Coastal tourist industries will be underwater if sea levels continue to rise. Global warming is melting glaciers and causing thermal ocean expansion, so sea levels are rising. Low-lying countries and cities are being flooded, especially when there are storm surges.
The water source that will have the greatest impact on sea levels is the melting of polar ice sheets, particularly from Greenland and Antarctica. As global temperatures rise, the ice sheets are melting at an accelerated rate, contributing significantly to sea level rise. Additionally, the thermal expansion of seawater due to warming also adds to rising sea levels, but the melting ice sheets are more substantial in terms of volume.
Sea levels rise with the tides.
A rise in sea levels will not affect the thundering.
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.
When ice sheets melt, the water from the ice flows into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise.

The warmth heats up the icebergs in the sea. this causes sea levels to rise....

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.
