    Between 1900 and 2000, ocean and sea levels rose by about 14 centimeters as a result of the melting of glaciers, especially those in the Arctic, said the researchers whose work was published in PNAS magazine and they concluded that ocean levels increased more rapidly. since the last century than during the last three millennia due to climate change.

    This is due to the rising temperature of the planet, and this has a portion of the fault of the so-called "Greenhouse Effect" that directly affects this action. The greenhouse effect is an increase in CO2 released into the atmosphere, which consequently affects the depletion of the ozone layer, increasing the incidence of ultraviolet rays. This gas, along with others, accelerates this process. But in addition, carbon dioxide creates a "heat layer" that causes the temperature to rise, thereby melting the polar ice caps, climate change, and thus rising sea levels.

    However, many researchers report that the greenhouse effect has always existed, but CO2 emissions have accelerated this process. This was due to the Industrial Revolution, which took a turn in this process, with the manufacture of cars, industries, chemical and physical processes that emit gases and thus increasing and accelerating this process.
