Pacific water level is rising

The unusual melting of the Arctic ice archipelago, called the Canadian archipelago, has raised the Pacific sea level.

This has been proven by researchers at the University of Michigan (USA) when studying the Canadian archipelago, most of which is ice covering more than 1.4 million square meters of 35,000 islands. They found that during the period between 2004 and 2009 the islands lost their snow cover, with the total volume filling up to 3/4 of the large Eri lakes.

The main reason is the increase in temperature during the year. The temperature of the Arctic increases by an average of 1 degree Celsius, leading to an additional 60 kilometers of water.

99% of continental ice reserves are located in Antarctica and Greenland. Although the area looks so big, it only accounts for about half of the melting continental ice to flow into the ocean. Scientists do not think that the Canadian archipelago can make a major contribution to changing the Pacific's water level.

After 3 years of research starting from 2004 to 2006, data show that this region lost an average of 30 kilometers per year. Over the next 3 years, this number has increased by more than 3 times, each year up to 92 kilometers of water. Thus, in 6 years of study, the water level in the Pacific Ocean increased by 1 mm. If you look at it, it is thought that the number is not impressive, so it often thinks there is nothing to worry about, but in fact it will lead to huge consequences.
