RUNNIG HEAD: GLOBAL CLIMATE EFFECTS ON SEA LEVEL RISE
Earth is a vital planet in which constant changes are occurring by internal or external
forces. Currents of magma within our planet moves the plates of earth that consistently form the
earth’s crust which then builds mountains and creates valleys. After a long delay these valleys
become lakes, seas and oceans. The greatest factor which affects earth is sunlight. Sun provides
energy for living organisms, and handles our earth’s weather and climate by creating temperature
gradients in atmosphere and oceans.

Our planet is facing many problems or changes in climate such as pollution, increasing
temperature, lack of water etc. climate changes affect our economy, communities in many ways.
Many scientists are warning that if we do not control climate change now, the results will be very
dangerous.

WHAT IS SEA LEVEL?
Sea level is the average height of the ocean with respect to the land. It is a mean level
between high and low tide, and it is used as a standard base for measuring depth and height of
oceans.

RISING SEA LEVEL
When water gets warmer, it takes up more space. A single drop of water expands a little
bit but when we multiply it over the entire depth of the ocean, it adds up and thereby sea level
rise.
