Current sea level rise

the last 120 years have seen a noticeable rise (Davies 2017). Normally, such drastic changes could be explained by Antarctic Oscillation, defined as different winds changing strength and direction, but these temperature changes are too drastic to blame it on anything we have ever witnessed in history. Greenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere since the industrial revolution have only increased. A rise in industry has led to methane and carbon dioxide levels on the Earth to be at the highest…

There are four reasons for the rise in sea levels in America. The first reason is in Antarctica, Greenland where mountain glaciers are present; there are 1,700 trillion pounds of ice that melts into the sea each year. The ice that melts from the glaciers goes from the land to the sea causing sea levels to rise everywhere. The second reason is that the ocean is also getting warmer every year; with the ocean getting warmer the ocean expands making the sea level higher (this process is known as…

loggerhead sea turtles are among the largest hard shelled turtles to roam the waters. These reptiles can also be found in shallow waters along the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. They often nest on ocean beaches in areas where the shore meets the water. Loggerhead sea turtles generally nest at time periods of 2 to 4 years. They usually lay around 3 to 6 nests, which are spaced around 12 to 14 days apart. Logger sea turtles lay, on average between 100 to 126 eggs per nest. (Sea turtle…

climate isn’t changing, not really. The rising sea levels of our oceans is causing a problem. These rising waters have been causing problems for some years now, but now with new statistics, we are able to see how big of a problem they really are. Many questions can be asked such as why are they rising, what will happen if they continue to rise, is there a way to stop the rising of the sea levels, and why it is a major issue to consider. The sea levels are rising due to the melting of land ice…

Sea Levels Rising Hurting Our Animals Polar bears are on the threatened species list because of global warming and sea levels rising. Millions of species aquatic and land animals are dying. Most under the sea ecosystems are severely affected by global warming which causes sea levels rising. For example, mangrove ecosystems require constant sea levels to survive. Sea levels are rising and affecting polar bears, sea turtles, and coral reefs. Polar bears are in jeopardy, becoming extinct…

trend in sea temperature, ocean acidification, sea level, and severe weather events. These factors are contributing to an overall decline in coral survivability and fertility. Due to global warming, the ocean’s temperatures have gotten steadily warmer since the industrial era. Since 1929, average ocean temperatures…

how you live and what you do is always good for the Earth and its environment? Some may think so, but with all of our industrial centers and vehicles producing carbon emissions, it is causing many global disasters around the Earth. There has been a rise in storms and many other disasters due to this. Many want to change and help out the cause of global warming and climate change but don 't actually put the effort into it. Even though some scientists believe the evidence supporting climate change…

a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This indicates an (presumably human-induced) escalation in the volume of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are essential in moderation, however, advancements and innovations since the Industrial Revolution (principally those involving…

species. Over the past 50 years, scientists have observed the damage done to the continent and have deemed it irreversible. Overheating has caused Antarctica’s surface area to decline and its ice to melt. A result of the melting and overheating is a rise in the surrounding water. In addition, the invasive species that have been introduced are beginning to survive, adapt, and take over the land. Alongside these challenges, pollution is a…

650,000 years, there have been 7 cycles of glacial advance and retreat (“Global”). The current warming trend is significant because most of it is very likely human induced, and it is occurring at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 (“Global”). Events around the globe show evidence of a warming climate, such as: rising sea levels, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, glacial retreat, extreme…
