Sentences with phrase «ocean basin volume»

-------------------------------------------------------------------- > Quote by Andrew Dodds / Additionally, there is a relation between ocean basin volume and seafloor speading rates, the higher the spreading rate the higher sea level is for a given climate / ocean temperature.

Additionally, there is a relation between ocean basin volume and seafloor speading rates, the higher the spreading rate the higher sea level is for a given climate / ocean temperature.

And I'm totally confused on this point: is there a loss of ocean basin volume as the below sea level bed of Greenland rises up and displaces it?

Can we consider the ocean basin volume as static for the purpose of sea level change prediction because the speed of water inputs will far outstrip the speed of mantle movements?

Not exact matches

The new find confirms that the ancient lavas formed at midocean ridges and found throughout deep ocean basins are by volume the largest ecosystem on Earth, scientists say.

Sea level rise has two primary components: the expansion in volume of seawater with increased temperature and the addition of water in ocean basins from the melting of land - locked ice, including Antarctica and Greenland.

Changes in sea floor spreading rates effect the volume of the mid-oceanic ridges which may contribute to changes in the volume of the ocean basins.

Vertical land movements such as resulting from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), tectonics, subsidence and sedimentation influence local sea level measurements but do not alter ocean water volume; nonetheless, they affect global mean sea level through their alteration of the shape and hence the volume of the ocean basins containing the water.

SLR satellite data includes things such as the «GIA Adjustment» — which is the amount of SLR that there would have been if the ocean basin hadn't increased in volume and in the case of this new study, how much higher the sea surface would have been if it had not been suppressed by the Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption, another correction for ENSO / PDO «computed via a joint cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function (CSEOF) analysis of altimeter GMSL, GRACE land water storage, and Argo - based thermosteric sea level from 2005 to present», as well as other additions and adjustments — NONE OF WHICH can actually be found manifested in any change to the physical Sea Surface Height.»

Eustatic change (as opposed to local change) results in an alteration to the global sea levels due to changes in either the volume of water in the world's oceans or net changes in the volume of the ocean basins.

We show that the influx of water into the volume created by this subsidence produces a sea - level fall at locations distant from these margins — indeed over the major ocean basins — that is comparable in amplitude to the syphoning mechanism isolated by Mitrovica and Peltier (1991).»

Other simple methods for controlling sea level are almost as simple, using heavy equipment to move shoreline dirt inland, thus increasing the total volume of the ocean basin.

The former redistributes ocean volume within the basins, while the latter alters Earth's gravitational field and rate of rotation enough to change the distribution of ocean mass around the surface of the Earth.

A recent comprehensive review [7] reveals that there are still wide uncertainties about the Earth's sea - level history that are especially large for time scales of tens of millions of years or longer, which is long enough for substantial changes in the shape and volume of ocean basins.

«We have to account for the fact that the ocean basins are actually getting slightly bigger... water volume is expanding,» he said, a phenomenon they call glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).

b) volumetric effects — change in the volume of water contained in the oceans and the geometry and areal extent of the ocean basins c) gravitational effects — change in the gravitational attraction of the earth (induced by deformation), by the change in distribution of ice and by the change in self - attraction of the water d) rotational effects — change in the moment of inertia caused by a change in the distribution of mass within the earth and on its surface.

And I DO know that ANYTHING that changes the volume of the ocean OR the volume of the ocean basins by 36O km ^ 3 will result in a change in sea level by 1 mm.

You can just plug a huge pneumatic hose into the nearest volcano and inflate the earth with CO2, and that way the ocean basins would increase in area and volume, and the sea level would fall again.
