Detailed explanation-1: -First, glaciers and ice sheets worldwide are melting and adding water to the ocean. Second, the volume of the ocean is expanding as the water warms. A third, much smaller contributor to sea level rise is a decline in the amount of liquid water on land-aquifers, lakes and reservoirs, rivers, soil moisture.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the past decades the atmospheric layer closest to the Earth surface, the troposphere, has warmed, while the layer above it, the stratosphere, has cooled (see Figure 1), and related to these changes, the tropopause height has risen globally (IPCC, 2021).
Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, sea level is rising at an increasing rate With continued ocean and atmospheric warming, sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates higher than that of the current century.
Detailed explanation-4: -Global Temperature Is Rising. The Ocean Is Getting Warmer. The Ice Sheets Are Shrinking. Glaciers Are Retreating. Snow Cover Is Decreasing. Sea Level Is Rising. Arctic Sea Ice Is Declining. Extreme Events Are Increasing in Frequency. More items
