Yes it is. For most of the last century sea levels rose at 2 mm a year, and since the later years of the 20th Century they have been rising at 3 mm a year. Warmer oceans mean that the warm water expands. This is the main cause of the rise. A secondary cause is the melting of land ice.
What else can I help you with?
Is sea level rising or falling?
yas. Because of global warming
What causes rising sea level?
its because of global warming and o zone layer
What are your claims that global warming is happening?
glaciers are melting,sea level is rising,temps are up
Is global warming as bad as other natural phenomenon?
i think it is bad as it is raising the sea level which can result sinking of land masses.as the name 'global warming' says that heating of the earth which can result in perishing many living organisms.hence global warming is very bad.
What is most likely to be the result of a slowly warming climate?
The result of a slowly warming climate is likely to include rising global temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, melting ice caps and glaciers, sea level rise, and shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity. These changes can have widespread impacts on human societies, economies, and natural systems.
What is currently happening to global sea level why?
global warming!
Where did global warming majorly occur?
Global warming has occurred across the globe, impacting various regions differently. However, some regions that have experienced significant effects of global warming include the Arctic, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average, and low-lying island nations like the Maldives and Tuvalu, which are threatened by sea-level rise. Additionally, areas with glaciers have witnessed rapid melting due to global warming.
What is the worst part about global warming?
The worst consequence of global warming is the possible extinction of the human race because of excess of CO2 in the air, rising ocean levels wiping out certain areas and global temperature increase to a level that is not suitable for human biological existence.
Global warming has been proven to be directly linked with sea level rising through?
Global warming is causing the Earth's temperature to rise, leading to ice caps and glaciers melting. This meltwater contributes to the rise in sea levels, posing a threat to coastal communities worldwide. Continued global warming will exacerbate this trend, resulting in further sea level rise.
How does the rise in sea level support the theory of global warming?
If sea levels are rising this can be caused by two things:Extra water added to the oceans. This can only come from land ice melting.Ocean water expanding as it gets warmer.We know that sea levels are rising because our satellites measure this. This therefore supports the theory of global warming.
How big a threat is global warming?
Chances are, global warming is going to get worse, however, we cannot predict exactly how rapidly this will happen or how bad it will get. My guess is that I will not live to see severe global warming, but the next generation after me probably will. And severe global warming could be very destructive. The immediate threat is that the ice caps will melt, and the sea level will rise a great deal, causing massive flooding of coastal regions. Many other problems are likely to result as well. Things could get very interesting.
What is meant by hazards of global warming?
Hazards means dangers. One hazard of global warming is the melting of ice caps and glaciers, which makes water levels to rise, so that there is a danger low level lying areas will get submerged in the rising waters.
