Antarctica has already been experiencing warming, though not as much as in some other parts of the world. It is generally losing ice, though mostly on the coast whereas there may be slight gains in East Antarctica. Sea ice has been slowly increasing in coverage, though this is largely due to variations in the Southern Annular Mode. Several species of penguins have also been found to be having a difficult time adapting to the changes that are occurring. Continued warming will cause further changes in their ecosystems as it continues to get warmer and more ice melts.

∙ 13y agoIt will affect the penguins and they will die!!!!
Very possibly. Apart from that, if Antarctica warms up just a little more, most of the ice will melt, the sea level will rise by at least 20 feet, and most of our coastal cities will be under water.

∙ 13y agoThe ozone layer controls the heat that the earth receives. when there are holes in it, due to pollution for example, too much heat is being received. Therefore, because there are holes above the antarctic, it is melting the ice caps, and raising the ocean levels. Also known as GLOBAL WARMING.

Tourism isn't generally a threat to Antarctica, since tour operators have agreed to basic actions that go a long way in preventing damage by tourists. These include, 'carry it in: carry it out', and limiting the areas where tourism is conducted.
Climate change melts ice, as can be seen in the northern hemisphere. Over time, even though it's 30 degrees F colder in Antarctica because of there being land there than it is in the north, the Antarctic ice will melt.

What climate region dominates antarctica?
Arid
Can tornadoes affect the temperature or climate?
Tornadoes do not affect climate. Climate is the long term trend in weather patterns while a tornado is a short lived effect. Temperature inside a tornado is lower than it is in the surrounding environment. However, you would only experience this while inside the tornado itself.
How do scientists learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago?
Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
Did Edmund Hillary affect the environment of antarctica?
No.
What dangers does developing Antarctica have on the environment?
• it affected the animals • affects the landscape • it can affect the climate • it damages the ice • damages the climate And • changes Antarctica That area has been saved from the over imposing influence of human interference by its virtually unassailable climate. Antarctica has the only unspoiled sweet water in the whole world. This should be the number one in the cons list.

What is the relationship between antarctica and its climate?
The climate of Antarctica is affected by its geographic position--it is on the south pole, so it gets no sun at all during the winter. There are also ocean currents, wind currents, and other things that affect the climate.

The weather is simply to harsh to remain out in for very long.
