HOW RISING SEAS AFFECT SHORELINES?
The seas will add more water an then flow over the shoreline
Whats happening on earth?
flooding over This picture used to be a land or a shoreline but the levels of the seas erode it and keeps flooding little by little and 2,358 days later it looks like this. | Melting ice... rising seas... Rising sea levels are just one of the consequences of melting icebergs. Global warming is altering the habitats of many Arctic animals. For example, the polar bear depends on icebergs as hunting platforms and resting places. As icebergs melt, polar bears have to swim farther between hunting platforms, expending more energy to find food. As a result, individual bears are suffering physically and struggling to reproduce. In 2008, polar bears were listed as a threatened species -- one likely to become endangered. | Destroyed ground The shore lines will destroy or break down and that is all caused by all humans and what we are doing. |

| How to make it better and how we can helpThe simplest solution remains simply to burn fewer fossil fuels. A new study by the Scripps Institution for Oceanography, NCAR, and Climate Central, says curbing emissions of certain pollutants can help prevent the sea level rise. The study highlights that by reducing emissions of four specific pollutants—methane, tropospheric ozone, hydrofluorocarbons and black carbon—we could possibly prevent the rate of sea level rise by approximately 25 to 50 percent. Which means less fracking, cutting back on motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions and chemical solvents, including windshield washer fluid, creating fewer CFCs and cutting back on anything that creates smoke or soot. | |
