Netherlands means "low lands" and by rising the sea levels there's a chance of them flooding.

Could you solve the problem of rising sea levels by wiping out all sea life?

Rising sea levels are not the cause of sea life. In fact, some types of plankton absorb CO2 from the water, and in turn this means that global warming is slowed, and so the ice caps don't melt so quickly, and so sea levels don't rise so much...


Why are the Netherlands and Venice Italy especially concerned about global warming?

Those particular places have been fighting for centuries to keep from being flooded by the sea. Global warming causes ice to melt, which causes sea levels to rise, which makes flooding more likely, and harder to prevent.


What kind of effects does the melting of the polar ice cap cause?

This is would result in the loss of habitats to many species of animals, for example the polar bear. The melting in ice caps would cause sea levels to rise. Islands would sink. Countries like Bangladesh will experience more floods because their land lies in low altitudes.


How would physical changes to earth such as an ice age or rising sea levels lead to physical changes in organisms?

Physical changes to Earth, such as an ice age or rising sea levels, can significantly impact organisms by altering their habitats and available resources. For example, during an ice age, colder temperatures can lead to the extinction of species that cannot adapt, while promoting the survival of those with traits suited for colder climates. Similarly, rising sea levels can inundate coastal habitats, forcing terrestrial organisms to migrate or adapt to new environments, potentially leading to changes in species composition and biodiversity. These environmental pressures can drive evolutionary changes, as organisms either adapt to survive or face extinction.


Why would increased levels of greenhouse gases contribute to higher temperatures?

Increased levels of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect." This leads to higher temperatures as more heat is retained and absorbed by the Earth's surface.

What effects would climate change have on sea levels?

That depends on which way the climate is changing, a globally colder climate would see the buildup of ice on land and sea levels would fall. A warming climate would have the opposite effect, sea levels rising and coastal cities and croplands destroyed.

Coastal regions are often affected by abrasion what processes would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region?

Rising sea levels and storm force winds would be good examples of processes which would cause increased abrasion along a coastal region.


Why would the rising sea level be a problem?

Rising sea-levels would submerge the coastal areas. There will be shortage of land for the people. It will damage the coral reefs which ae the 'rainforests of the ocean'.

Is a core human body temperature of 38.3 celsius a concern when there is severe sinus congestion from a cold?

A temperature of 38.3 degrees celsius is of concern, if you are sick or not. That is considered high and I would consult a doctor. Taking two panadol could be another option to see if that helps but if it is rising rapidly get to the hospital quick.


Which of the Benelux countries would be most affected by climate change and melting polar ice caps?
