WHAT DOES CLIMATE CHANGE OR GLOBAL WARMING HAVE TO DO WITH THE INCREASE IN VOLUME OF THE EARTH'S OCEANS?

Answer:

The causes of global sea level rise can be roughly split into three categories:

1. thermal expansion of sea water as it warms up,

2. melting of land ice and

3 changes in the amount of water stored on land.

2 New York, New York. via STA Tours.

3 Honolulu, Hawaii. via TravelZoo.

4 Port Royal, Jamaica. via NatGeo.

5 Hoboken, New Jersey.

6 Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

7 Underwater: Thonis-Heracleion.

8 San Diego, California.

9 Miami, Flordia

When sea levels rise as rapidly as they have been, even a small increase can have devastating effects on coastal habitats farther inland, it can cause destructive erosion, wetland flooding, aquifer and agricultural soil contamination with salt, and lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants.

Higher sea levels are coinciding with more dangerous hurricanes and typhoons that move more slowly and drop more rain, contributing to more powerful storm surges that can strip away everything in their path. One study found that between 1963 and 2012, almost half of all deaths from Atlantic hurricanes were caused by storm surges.

Already, flooding in low-lying coastal areas is forcing people to migrate to higher ground, and millions more are vulnerable from flood risk and other climate change effects. The prospect of higher coastal water levels threatens basic services such as Internet access.

Acadia is beautiful even in the rain and fog, but the park still doesn't have many sandy beaches, and this is surely not a sandy
yan [13]

Answer:

The sand is supplied to the beach more slowly than it is lost to the deep waters. This prevents sand beaches from forming.

Explanation:

The formation of sandy beaches depends on a set of environmental forces that must interact with each other. These forces are summed up by the speed at which the sand is added to the solid part of the beach and the speed at which the sand is taken by the deep waters. This justifies the reason why sandy beaches are not formed in Acadia, because the speed at which the sand is captured by the deep waters, is greater than the speed at which the sand is added to the solid part of the beach.
