Content: Also, as the evaporation rate of sea water is constant, a large volume of excess water remains in the oceans, adding up to the overall volume, and ultimately causing a rise in the ocean water level. In this context, the melting of ice from Greenland and Antarctica regions contributes to the greatest increase in runoff all over the world. Large ice shelves frequently break down and form icebergs, which float out to the sea. When they reach the warmer oceanic surface areas, their melting starts, consequently leading to a rise in the sea levels. Effects of Sea Level Rise
Erosion of shorelines is one of the first effects of sea level rise, and it greatly hampers the coastal cities and towns. The strong waves that crash onto shorelines often lead to an increase in the erosion rate. This ultimately causes destabilization of the coastal areas, posing a risk to human life and property. Waves might intrude a longer distance over land areas, if the erosional activity does not decrease. As the water levels increase, the damage caused by sea storms also penetrates inland regions with successive rise in intensity. The amplitude of storms might increase, damaging a lot of property which may result in human casualties.
