== Card #17 : Increase in Water Temperature == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult17Desc /> | |||
Oceans absorb 93% of the energy accumulated on Earth.<br> | |||
Their temperature has therefore increased, especially in the upper layers.<br> | |||
The water expands as it warms up. | |||

== Card #18 : Melting of Sea Ice == | |||
=== Description === | |||
<section begin=Cardadult18Desc /> | |||
Sea ice melting does not make the sea level rise (just as a melting ice cube does not make a glass overflow).<br> | |||
However, when it melts, it gives way to the much darker sea, which goes on to absorb more sun rays than white ice. | |||
