Expanding oceans

The video explains global warming, highlighting how rising temperatures cause ice to melt, leading to increased sea levels. Scientists initially miscalculated sea level rise due to not accounting for thermal expansion, where water expands as it heats. This expansion contributes significantly to sea level rise. The video stresses the importance of addressing global warming to prevent flooding in low-lying areas.
