Contemporary Sea Level Rise Aims: To understand that sea levels are rising today and its links to global warming. To know that its difficult to predict

Past, present and future global sea levels

Sea level is difficult to predict. There are a number of different components- Thermal expansion so depends on how high temperatures will rise The amount of melting of mountain glaciers in the Alps and Himalayas How much major ice sheets will melt, such as Greenland and Antarctica Tectonic activity can change locally

Sea level change and tectonic activity After effects of a Tsunamis
