Global sea level is increasing

This data was provided by a team of University of Colorado experts at Boulder (UCB) and a spacecraft of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA). Accordingly, the global sea level rose 12mm (0.5 inches) from 2003 to 2010.

Researchers believe that the water level rises from Earth's glaciers, especially in the vast frozen areas of Antarctica and Greenland, enough to cover the entire United States with more than 0.5m of water. .

This is the first survey on this issue and caused great concern for the world. Sea level is rising and spreading to a wide range.

During the study period, Antarctica, Greenland and glaciers were melted with a volume of up to 43,000 tons of ice due to the impact of global climate change.

'The Earth is pushing huge amounts of ice into the ocean. This consequence will answer everyone's important question why sea level rise and the cold areas of the planet are under the influence of global climate change , 'explained UCB physics professor John Wahr.

On average every year in Greenland and Antarctica, the world's two largest ice storage sites have melted about 385 billion tons of ice.

The study also found that the world's small glaciers in places like Alaska, South America and the Himalayas contribute about 3mm (0.2 inches) each year.

The study was published in Nature on February 8.
