Why seawater rising is dangerous
name one thing bad with rising seawaters
floods, land inundation, severe coastal erosion, saltwater leaking into freshwater supplies, and heightened storm surges
name one of the primary reasons seawater levels are rising
Thermal expansion or melting of land based ice (glaciers or ice caps)
what is one reason global warming infects seawater
(if the response is on this they get the point)
Seawater levels are directly linked to global temperature rise through two mechanisms thermal expansion ( when water expands with heat) and land-based ice melt like glaciers or ice caps (like Greenland or Antarctica) which are both caused by global heating
what year had the highest average sea level
2023
how could rising seawaters effect fresh water supplies
by leaking into them
what is the most obvious danger of seawater levels
flooding
what is the "land based ice" we talked about
glaciers and ice caps
what dose the rising seawater levels prove
global warming is effecting things
what is the curve of the seawater level graph
upwards
what is the difference between a glacier and an ice cap
size
how could seawater levels effected coastal regions
with sever coastal erosion
what is the process where water expands when heated called
thermal expansion
why is global warming conneted to thermal expansion
because thermal expansion needs a lot of heat to woke with such big bodes of waters
how much have sea levels risen from 1880
8-9 in
why is global warming connected to thermal expansion
because thermal expansion needs a lot of heat to woke with such big bodes of waters
how could seawater levels effected the weather
with heightened storm-surges
what is the difference between a glacier and an ice cap
size
why is glaciers and ice caps melting now bad
it proves global warming is effecting land based ice
what is the increasing rate of seawater levels yearly
0.15 in
what is the curve of the seawater level graph
upwards
how could rising seawaters effect fresh water supplies
by leaking into them
what is thermal expansion
the process where water expands when heated
(double points not in slide can skip) what is one reason global warming lowers seawater
evaporation
what year had the highest average sea level and what was it
2023 and 101.4 mm (101 mm is acceptable)
