Waves are “disturbances”

Instead the actions of the water molecules “add together,” and the waves themselves momentarily combine or “interfere.” If two crests come together, the sea surface gets even higher (you would see 1 higher crest).

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.
