Detailed explanation-1: -There is a direct relationship between climate change and sea level rise. As our climate warms, sea level rises mainly because of thermal expansion (when water warms up, it expands) and melting of snow, glaciers and ice caps (which increases the volume of ocean water).
Detailed explanation-2: -rising minimum temperatures. rising sea levels. higher ocean temperatures. an increase in heavy precipitation (heavy rain and hail)
Detailed explanation-3: -Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2, 500-plus years. Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers, and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hotter temperatures. As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. More severe storms. Increased drought. A warming, rising ocean. Loss of species. Not enough food. More health risks. Poverty and displacement.
