Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to

7.study the scenario. a small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large container of water with a higher temperature. which choice correctly explains what happens to the thermal energy of these systems? the smaller container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the larger container. some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the larger container of water. the larger container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the smaller container. some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the smaller container of water. the larger container of water has more thermal energy and some of that energy is transferred to the colder water in a process known as heating. the smaller container of water has more thermal energy than the larger container, and some of that energy is transferred to the warmer water in a process known as heating.
