People and groups around the world have reacted to the rise of sea levels, by joining together and constructing a plan. Scientists have predicted that the breakup of West Antarctica could occur faster. This explains the affects high sea levels occurring in the East Coast and Gulf Coast. As these scientists are papering to understand the results of the floods, they are realizing the dangerous affect it can permit not only nation wide but globally. The events that take place for sea levels to rise is thermal expansion, and lose of land-based ice. The rise of thermal expansion occurs when warming of the oceans. The lose of land-based ice occurs when the melting of ice glaciers and ice sheets occur. Scientist across the world are trying to solve this issue by working together. This issue will not be solved with one persons contribution it has to be a team effort in order to save the environment.
