Second, warming leads to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets (ice on land), which raises sea level by adding more water to the oceans. (climatecommunication.org)
The results indicate that these mechanisms could significantly raise sea level forecasts for high - emission scenarios, including nearly doubling the median projections of 21st century global mean sea level rise by 2100. (eos.org)
If its frozen water were to melt, it could raise sea levels around the world by 6 meters (about 20 feet). (sciencenewsforstudents.org)
