The water from the ocean, when the ocean tectonic plates are subducted, moves around to the places where new gaps occur, usually creating a new sea that in time spreads more and more and in time there's every chance they will become new oceans.

Describe three of the effects caused by the Earth warming by 1 degree over the last 100 years.
raketka [301]

Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

the warming trend over the last 50 years (about 0.13° C or 0.23° F per decade) is nearly twice that for the last 100 years. The average amount of water vapor in the atmosphere has increased since at least the 1980s over land and ocean. and one more

If the world temperature rises by two degrees, mountain glaciers and rivers will start to disappear and mountainous regions will see more landslides, as the permafrost that held them together melts away. By 2100, sea levels could rise by a meter, displacing 10% of the world's population.

Global warming is projected to have a number of effects on the oceans. Ongoing effects include rising sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice sheets, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification.
