Taking the Miocene/Pliocene boundary at 5 m.y., this implies that the mean velocity along the Dead Sea shear zone over the last 5 m.y. is 0.8 to 0.9 cm/yr.The whole 105-km offset may have been effected continuously at this rate but it is o ...

Effects of global warming on oceans
Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents, seawater, sea surface temperatures, tides, the sea floor, weather, and trigger several changes in ocean bio-geochemistry; all of these affect the functioning of a society.
