How did your prediction compared to the actual changes in sea level? What have you learned about sea level variations?
tatuchka [14]

1. My predictions about the changes in sea level have been relatively close to the actual rise of the sea waters, though it has been different than the general predictions of the numerous models of the countries. The predictions that I have made about the rise of the sea level have been based on the rate of melting of the polar ice, but also on the isostatic rebound that occurs because of it, and the influence that the greenhouse gasses have on the global temperature. The estimates that I made were showing a rise of only few centimeters, unlike the several meters predicted by most of the models. The closest model to what I have predicted is the Russian model, which is very different than the others.

2. The sea level variations are not very easy to predict, nor do they have any particular cycle that is repeating on approximately the same time. There are numerous factors that influence the variations of the sea level, such as the global temperature, with higher temperature meaning higher sea levels, and lower temperature meaning lower sea levels. The isostatic rebound of the continental land masses should also be taken in consideration, as the continents lift up when they don't have pressure on top of them from the ice, and sink down when they do have large ice masses on them, thus it can influence where the water can penetrate and where it can't. The position of the landmasses, composition of the atmosphere, as well as the geological activities, all have big influence on the variations of the sea levels, be it going up or down.

How can human health be affected by changes in air quality
Mama L [17]
Human health can be affected by changes in air quality mainly because if the air is bad they will have various health defects. For example with some of the cities in China much of the air there is polluted. Thus human health may be affected by added stress as well as breathing in polluted air which will cause side effects. 

All in all human health is affected by changes in air quality because air is what humanity breaths to survive. If in some way this air were to be polluted we would suffer from decreased health due to a circulation of fossil fuels in our atmosphere.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

E. all of the above.

Explanation:

  • A rise in the temperature and a loss of ice covers in the arctic will lead to the endangering of the species and will also raise the temperature of the oceanic bodies. Thereby the sea levels will also rise due to the impacts and effects of global warming and the climate changes taking place.
