The Earth’s oceans increased faster than expected last year, because the world has experienced its hottest year to record, NASA says.
The sea level increased Faster than the expected world of 2024 – the warmest Earth year, according to the new findings of the NASA Space Agency of the United States, which attributed the rise to the heating of the ocean and the melting of the glacier.
“With 2024, as the warmest year, the Earth’s widespread oceani followed the lawsuit, reaching their highest level in three decades,” Nasina Superiya Vineyard Shiffer, the head of the program of physical oceanography and the observatory of the integrated terrestrial system.
Josh Willis, Researcher at the Sea level on NASA, he said Rise in the world’s oceans Last year it was “bigger than expected”, and although changes happen every year, what became clear is that “the increase rate becomes faster and faster”.
According to a study under the guidance of NASA about the information obtained through Sentinel-6 Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, the increase in sea levels last year was 0.59 cm (0.23 inches) annually from the initial expected estimate of 0.43 cm (0.17 inches) per year.

The ocean height satellite shots began in 1993, and in three decades to 2023. The increase in sea levels were more than doubled, and the average sea level around the world increased by 10 cm (3.93 inches) in total, NASA said.
The growing sea level among the consequences of the climate change caused by man, and the oceans have increased in accordance with the increase in the average surface temperature of the earth-the split that is caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
Nasa said that trends from recent years show additional water from the mainland because of the melting of ice boards and glaciers, which are the biggest contribution, making two -thirds of the sea level rise.
In 2024, however, the increased increase in sea levels is largely triggered by the thermal expansion of water-the ocean water expands as it warms-which consists of about two-thirds of the increase.
UN warned about threats A huge number of people Living on the islands or along the coastal lines due to the growing sea level, with low coastal areas of India, Bangladesh, China and the Netherlands labeled as areas of special concern, as well as the island peoples in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
