How does climate affect the sea level..?

Don%26#039;t be fooled by the temporary leveling out we%26#039;re seeing now, note that the same thing happened in 1999-2000. Short term weather can slow things down for a little while.

The two reasons it happens are that ice on land (like Greenland) melts and runs into the ocean, and that warm water expands a little. 17% 1 Vote
  • Depends. If you are referring to Global Warming, which may or may not be a hoax, it would affect them in the sense that if polar ice caps (basically giant glaciers) melt, they are going to increase sea levels significantly, putting coastal cities in danger of extreme flooding. I think it%26#039;s a hoax though. 0% 0 Votes
  • Well when the weather gets hot it melts the glaciers and ice caps. When the glaciers and ice caps turn into water they flow to the sea/ocean and make the sea/ocean level rise which causes humans to loose land. 17% 1 Vote
  • When the weather is freezing and may cause water to freeze even more in the North and South Pole, then when the sun comes it melts making ice melt and the sea to rise. 17% 1 Vote
  • The hotter is gets - the more ice polar melts - and when that ice melts the sea level rises. It goes from floating ice to water and adding more water equals a rise in sea level. 0% 0 Votes
