How long will Earth's oceans last?
How long will Earth's oceans last? These water molecules will be broken down through photodissociation by solar UV, allowing hydrogen to escape the atmosphere. The net result would be a loss of the world's seawater by about 1.1 billion years from the present.
What happens if sea levels rise 1 foot?
A 1-foot rise in sea level swallows up more coastline than you think. For every 1 foot of vertical rise in sea level, 100 feet of shoreline is swallowed up if the slope is just 1% or more. That's a typical slope for most coastlines.
