I think it is Consequences. 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.
A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level. ... The second mechanism is the melting of ice over land, which then adds water to the ocean.
