It is very scary to see that the water could rise substantially by 2100. This article connects to what I am learning about in my geology class because if the water rises more then more mass wasting will occur. It will occur because of the added water to the steep slopes of the coast and water can be a huge part in causing a mass wasting event. I really hope we get a handle on declining the emissions in the air as it has fatal effects on the human race.

The planet's climate was always scheduled to change however the contributing made by humans has sped up that schedule at unprecedented rates. With the expected rise of sea level it could also contribute to a rise in mass wasting which is an issue we're currently studying in my geology class that is also another problem brought on by humans. It is just saddening to see how much we are contributing to the rise of global warming and setting the decline of our planet on a much faster pace than it needs to be.

I was shocked to learn how much the sea levels will rise within the century. It is a much faster pace that what I had originally thought was happening. This article is related to the learning in geology because the rising ocean levels will cause erosion on the new shoreline that it takes. Furthermore, coastal areas such as Portuguese Bend that already have unsteady land conditions near the coast could face much more sliding as more water gets into the pores of the land. People living in coastal places might have to start thinking about moving further inland to avoid the problems of a rising sea level.

After reading the article the main take away that I noted was that if we keep up in our ways with emissions there is a great chance that with all of the ice melting it could add around 15 inches to the sea level by 2021. This is pretty freighting and the reason for this is that we only have one world to live on and if we mess it up to bad we are screwed. The reason that this connects to our class and what we are learning is that is an example of how we need to take care of our earth. Overall was a very interesting article and I was able to learn from it.

Because of climate change, the sea levels are increasing due to the melting the ice sheets causing more and more sea water to rise, and that could be a huge problem. How this article connects to our module's contents would be that water has affect on mass wasting and with enough water, mass wasting chances will increase greatly. I thought this was worrisome to think about, though not surprising as climate change continues to get worse everyday. Hopefully we can plan to decrease climate change through lessening human activity that cause climate change to worsen. Leave a Reply. |
