Content: The first is the thermal expansion: water, when heated by temperature rise, tends to expand, ie, oceans take up more space. In addition, the melting of the iced territories of Greenland and West Antarctica accelerates global warming. This process is negatively influenced by freshwater seepage from the surface, which acts as a lubricant for the ice streams and helps them to slide faster. That is, fresh filtered water to the base of the ice sheets melt, weaken and slide them into the sea. Finally, in a similar type of process, large formations of ice in glaciers and ice caps melt and won't then return to its original shape. Usually these gigantic frozen structures partially crumbled during the summer, but recovered its solid state when winter temperatures returned. Now, because of global warming, the snowfall is softer, winters delay and springs anticipate, so ice does not reattach in the same manner and amount. Sea level rise: main consequences
The effects of sea level rise are already being felt, and the forecasts are not very hopeful.
