Sea level will rise. PDF Print E-mail
By the end of this century sea level will rise between 7 to 82 inch, depending on the scale of climate change - results from the study published in Internet. The argument has been drawn based on data from the fossil corals of the entries and read the temperature of the ice cores. The investigator Dr. Mark Siddall of the University of Bristol, together with American and Swiss colleagues, reconstructed sea level fluctuations in relation to climate change, which occurred 22 thousand. years ago. According to research studies allow a better prediction of the rise in sea level in the future. "Our studies have shown that the warming climate, which is taking place now will have an impact on rising sea levels by several centuries. This will be an important factor for a component of climate change" - says Siddall. In the history of Earth many times there were changes in sea level. During the last ice age sea level was much lower than today, as huge quantities of water were frozen and stored on land. Currently, sea level rises, and as it is considered the main perpetrator of global warming. In the last 100 years, the oceans rose by 20 inch.
