400 years since the end of the lastIce Age, sea level has risen at an average of 4 feet/century, though it is now rising much more slowly because very nearly all of the land-based ice that is at low enough latitudes and altitudes to melt has long since gone." (Christopher Monckton)...
How much will the sea level rise if Antarctica melts? How thick is the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean? How much of Antarctica is covered by ice? How much ice covered the Earth during the ice age? How many glaciers have melted? How much ice is above sea level?

How much has sea level risen since 1990? How have people tried to slow down beach erosion? What is an example of coastal erosion? What is attrition coastal erosion? Why does the Alaska shoreline have less coastal erosion? Does erosion affect subduction zones? How does ice erosion occur? Does...
One group proposes raisable flood barriers large enough to protect all of Manhattan Island.Sea levels have risen almost a foot in the past century, partly because of ice melt and thermal expansion (warmer water has more volume), and partly because of naturally occurring land subsidence of the ...
