Sea level rise


One of the main effects of global warming is that sea level rise. It is increasing in sea level. Sea level rise can be a product of global warmingg through two main processes: expansion of sea water as the oceans warm, and melting of ice over land. The impact of this include increased coastal erosion, higher storm-surge flooding, inhibition of primary production processes, more extensive coastal inundation, changes in surface water quality and groundwater characteristics, increased loss of property and coastal habitats, increased flood risk and potential loss of life, loss of no monetary cultural resources and values, impacts on agriculture and aquaculture through decline in soil and water quality, and loss of tourism, recreation, and transportation functions.

Hi, Ismail. You make some good points. However, they seem to be copied directly from Wikipedia.

Do you have any original ideas about the rising of the sea levels? Do you think this problem has anything to do with the work that's going on right now on the waters of the Abu Dhabi Corniche?
