| nivel del mar en aumento | rising sea level |
| nivel del mar en aumento | rising sea level Sea level rises are a possible consequence of global warming. As the amount of free water in the ocean increases, and as the water becomes warmer, global warming will increase.

Such an event would clearly threaten low-lying areas, particularly in Asia, where million of people live and farm on river deltas and flood plains |
