Which consequence results when thermal expansion of seawater?

💡 Explanation

Increased storm surges will result. Because thermal expansion increases sea levels, therefore coastal flooding during storm events becomes exacerbated. This is rather than reduced albedo; the change in reflectivity effect doesn't have sea-level as a central mechanism.
