Explain how the density of air varies with altitude.
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice team but alga due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate me change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher, (b) lower, or (c) no different than on a low-pressure day.
