When ocean levels rise it is typically not a good thing. As the sea level increases, the water will reach farther and the land mass will decrease as the coasts become submerged. With many cities and ports located close to the ocean, this can be very dangerous. This permanent rise in water would be capable of wiping out these areas, as well as completely erasing certain islands.

Could salt levels raise in the ocean?

Not all the oceans, no. However if an ocean gets cut off from the rest of the oceanic water, then yes the salt levels can rise as the ocean evaporates (such as happened to the Zechstein sea in Europe during the Permian).

What are the cyclical rise and fall of ocean water?

The cyclical rise and fall of ocean water, known as tides, are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet experience the gravitational forces, resulting in the water bulging towards these celestial bodies. This gravitational interaction creates high tides where water levels rise and low tides when water levels fall.


What is the relationship between the rise of ocean temperatures and the rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide?

Can an ocean rise 25 feet in a day?

No, it is not physically possible for an ocean to rise 25 feet in a single day. Ocean levels are influenced by various factors such as tides, storms, and melting ice, but such a rapid increase in sea level would be extreme and unlikely to occur naturally.


If the ocean rises fast can humans evolve fast enough to survive?

Evolution is a very slow process, so if the ocean levels rose very fast humans would not evolve fast enough to survive, however they may develop technology to counteract it. It is also very unlikely that the ocean levels will rise that quickly.
