Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion. According to a NASA-led analysis, last year's rate of rise was 0.23 inches (0.

Global sea levels rose at an accelerated rate in 2024, driven by extreme ocean warming and melting land ice, according to a NASA-led analysis. The annual rate of sea level rise jumped to 0.23 inches (0.59 cm), significantly higher than the expected 0.17 inches (0.43 cm).

Global sea levels rose faster than predicted in 2024, with NASA reporting a rate of 0.23 inches (0.59 cm) per year, compared to the expected 0.17 inches (0.43 cm) per year. The primary cause was found to be thermal expansion,

It is well known that sea levels are rising worldwide as a result of climate change. Last year, however, the increase was unexpectedly large, according to NASA.

Sea levels have risen more than anticipated in 2024, the hottest year on record, according to NASA. The increase is attributed to unusually high ocean temperatures and the melting of glaciers. This rise is a consequence of climate change driven by human activity,

Global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024, Earth's hottest year on record, according to an analysis released Thursday by the US space agency NASA.

Global sea levels rose by an unexpected amount in 2024, which was officially recorded as the hottest year on Earth since temperature monitoring began. According to a NASA analysis, the rise was primarily driven by unusual ocean warming and glacial meltwater,
