NASA REVEALS GLOBAL SEA LEVELS ROSE BY UNEXEPECTED HIGHER LEVELS : HUNDREDS OF CITIES MAY BE OVERWHELMED

DAILY MAIL : NASA ...GLOBAL SEA LEVEL RISE UNEXPECTEDLY HIGH AMOUNT 

The rise we saw in 2024 was higher than we expected,' said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

'Every year is a little bit different, but what's clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster.'

Since 1993, global sea levels have risen by a staggering 3.97-inches (10.1cm).

And if they continue to climb at this rate, hundreds of densely populated cities around the world could be plunged underwater. Excerpt: According to NASA, this 'unexpected' increase was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers.

A LAKE IS FRESHWATER BUT A SEA IS SALTWATER?

 Do the names of various bodies of water tell us if the water is salty or not? 

The Great Lakes are freshwater.  (And hold about 20% of the water on earth.)

The Great Lakes are named Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario,

The Great Salt Lake in Utah is salty, though called a lake.

The largest salt water lake in the world is named The Caspian Sea.

Do a little research and learn how a body of water becomes "salty."
