Effects of Global Warming As the temperature increases, the temperature-controlled equilibrium is disturbed. It has a profound impact on the water cycle (hydrological cycle), favors the melting of glaciers, the rise of sea levels, the increase in forest fires, the increase in diseases transmitted by insects, the increase in diseases related to the temperature and the alteration of the gravity of the climate (YouTube). Rise of the sea level. The hot temperature favors the thermal expansion of the water. Global warming has promoted the thermal expansion of sea water. With thermal expansion the volume of water increased and the sea level rose. It is also due to the melting of continental glaciers which filled the oceans with more water (ravi). Over the past 3,000 years, the average sea level rise has been only 0.4 to 0.8 inches. However, in the 20th century, sea level rise was approximately 8 inches (Hilderman, p61). Melting Arctic IceArctic glaciers not only hold fresh water in the form of ice, but also maintain the temperature of the region. As temperatures rise, Arctic ice melts and can no longer cover the ocean (Astill, p2). Arctic ice traps methane beneath the surface. As the ice melts and methane trapped beneath the surface of the ice escapes (Hilderman, p61). Lack of ice formation on the surface of the oceans in winterDue to global warming, winters are ineffective and last for shorter periods. The temperature in the winter season does not reach a certain level. Therefore, a layer of ice forms on the oceans or in some regions no ice forms on the surface of the oceans during the winter season. The process of ice formation in winter and the process of melting ice in summer are effective in providing oxygen to ocean creatures.
