Sea level is defined as the average level of the sea relative to the adjacent land, and it can vary according to climatic conditions. The global sea level has increased by around 90 millimeters since 1993, at an average of 2.9 millimeters per year. This increase was not constant, with the...
Seas are predicted to rise a foot by 2050, regardless of how much global carbon emissions can be reduced. Why is this happening, and what can we do to adapt?
Sea level rise refers to the increase in average sea level over time, primarily caused by the expansion of ocean waters due to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere and the melting of land-based ice. From: Climate Change (Third Edition), 2021 ...
题目Three key facts about rising sea levels (海平面上升) need to be pointed out to the world's politicians and planners: sea-level rise is now unavoidable(不可避免的), it will happen faster than most of us thought, and it will go on for a very long time. Even the greenhouse gas emi...
Three key facts about rising sea levels need to be pointed out to the world’s politicians and planners: sea-level rise is now inevitable, it will happen faster than most of us thought, and it will go on for a very long time. Even if greenhouse gas emissions stopped tomorrow, the ocean...
Sea Level Rise Although sea levels have been rising since the end of the lastglaciation(nearly 11,000 years), the rate of rise has increased over the past 200 years as average global temperatures have increased. The rise is due to two factors, the freshwater being added to the oceans from...
