tengerfelszínemelkedés
Tengerfelszínemelkedés, often translated as sea level rise, refers to the increase in the average global sea level. This phenomenon is a significant consequence of climate change, primarily driven by two main factors: thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of land-based ice. As ocean temperatures rise, water molecules expand, occupying more volume. Simultaneously, glaciers and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an accelerated rate, adding substantial amounts of water to the oceans.
The effects of tengerfelszínemelkedés are far-reaching and pose considerable threats to coastal communities and ecosystems worldwide.
Scientists monitor sea levels using a combination of satellite altimetry and tide gauge data. Projections indicate
