Water stored in ice and oceans, and changing sea levels - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Based on these two graphs, the can clearly identify that ice cover and meltdown reduces rapidly in recent decades. This could be link to the changes of ocean temperature and atmosphere global temperature that result in these drastic changes.
      - Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have revealed that the regions are losing ice six times faster than they were in the 1990s.
  - - - The first map- demonstrates that there are positive gradual changes in terms of ocean temperature. However with a drastic increase in the 1940s ( massive output of GHG from industries and power plants) As the oceans absorb more heat, sea surface temperature increases, and the ocean circulation patterns that transport warm and cold water around the globe change.
- - - - It explores the impact of sea-level rise, flooding and extreme weather on communities around the world. The data also maps areas of the U.S., China, and other parts of Asia that will be most vulnerable to economic losses as extreme weather increases and sea levels rise.
- - - - In the North Atlantic, water is heated near the equator travels, travel to high latitudes where it becomes cooler. Melting glaciers add freshwater makes the seawater less dense. Less dense water will not be able to sink and flow through the deep ocean, which may disrupt or stop the pattern of ocean currents in the region. The ocean currents carry warmth from the tropics up to these places, which would no longer happen.
