Detail of the Sea Level Rise

•  Sea Level Rise is a phenomenon in which glaciers existing on the continent melt due to global warming and flow into the sea, and the volume of seawater gradually increases due to the thermal expansion of the sea because of the rise in water temperature.

​

•  Sea level continues to change according to the amount of continental glaciers that change with temperature changes and the degree of thermal expansion of seawater, and it is analyzed that it has risen more than 100m now compared to 20,000 years ago, the last maximum ice age.

​

• The higher the temperature, the more freshwater that was fixed in the form of ice melts on the continent and flows into the sea, and the higher the temperature, the larger the volume of seawater, which affects both the amount and volume of seawater.

​

• From the end of the 19th century to the present, sea levels have risen by more than 20cm, especially in recent years.

​

• There are three main causes of sea level rise: sea water temperature rise, Arctic Ocean Greenland and Antarctic ice layer sea ice, and other mountainous areas and Alaska glacier sea ice. The impact on each is approximately one-third. Polar ice sheets that disappear annually are hundreds of giga tons, which raises sea levels by about 1mm every year, and giga tons are enormous amounts of 1 billion tons.
