Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Melting ice can alter the salinity of seawater as freshwater is added to the ocean. Changes in salinity alter seawater density, which can change major ocean currents that transport heat through the ocean driven by the currents, stimulating more climate change.
Detailed explanation-2: -These changes in the distribution of mass alter the gravitational field of the earth, thus changing sea level. Relative sea level can also be affected by local tectonic activities as well as by the land sinking when ground water is extracted or sedimentation increases. Sea water density is a function of temperature.
