North Indian Ocean sea level rising faster than global average
North Indian Ocean sea levels are rising faster than the global average. Warming water expansion is the primary driver of this concerning trend. The western Bay of Bengal sees a rapid rise due to fresh river water influx. However, the western Arabian Sea experiences a slower rise due to increased salinity. This accelerated rise threatens millions living along India's extensive coastal areas.
