Rise in Sea Level



One of the most popular effect of global warming is the rise in sea level all over the world. Since about 18,000 years ago, the sea level rose more than 120 meters.

Two things cause this riseing in sea level. The first reason is the water that is carried to the ocean when ice lands melt.

The other factor is when the temperature of the water increase the sea water weight decrease; therefore, it increase more in the planit. However, this rise in temperature makes the rise in sea level faster.

The rise in sea level is dangerous for the island and coastal countries, such as Syrilanca, Thailand, and Eygpt, since it might make the land not good for living, which might make the people leave those places.
