What else can I help you with?
Rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns are possible outcomes of what?
The greenhouse effect
Is the greenhouse effect increasing sea levels?
The natural greenhouse effect is not raising sea levels, but the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming, is. The warmer atmosphere is melting glaciers and expanding the water in the oceans, so sea levels are rising.
Are raising sea levels and weather patterns possible outcomes of the greenhouse effect?
Yes, rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns are both possible outcomes.
What effect does global warming have on the pacific islands?
Sea levels are rising, threatening many low-lying Pacific islands and their inhabitants.
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...
What are the threats against the Sydney Opera House?
rising sea levels. There is a threat posed where the sydney opera house could sink because of the rising sea levels. And to stop the rising sea levels is to stop global warming, which, we all know, is very hard.
What is being done about the rising sea levels?
nothing!
What can we do to stop the rising sea levels?
To stop rising sea levels, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect and restore coastal ecosystems, and adapt infrastructure to be more resilient to sea level rise.
How climate change could harm the biosphere?
Rising sea levels (due to ice melting & thermal expansion) - ecosystems destroyed,Rising temperatures- certain biomes will not survive (no water for plants & animals),Glaciers/ice-caps melting- polar bears forced to migrate & sea levels rise.
What is happening in kiribati?
Kiribati is in danger of rising sea levels
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.
Why would rising sea levels be concern in Netherlands?
Rising sea levels are a concern in the Netherlands because a significant portion of the country is below sea level. This puts it at risk of flooding and coastal erosion if sea levels continue to rise. The Dutch have implemented various flood protection measures such as dikes and sea walls to mitigate this risk.
