The chances of it happening are not great, but if Antarctica melts, all Australia's capital cities will be underwater. Antarctica holds enough ice to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
Yes the oceans will flood as the polar ice caps melt. You can already see that there is now a northern sea route around Canada.
No, but 98% of the continent of Antarctica is covered by its ice sheet.
The arctic. The Antarctic is on the southern most part of the world.
Mostly at the North and South poles or rather, the Arctic and Antarctic. 90% of the world's fresh water is locked up in ice at the Antarctic.
The most flood prone country in the entire world is Bangladesh, suffering from heavy moonsoon rains every year.
The largest desert in the world is the Antarctic Desert which is located in Antarctica.
It melts the ice making more water which evetually will flood 8/9 ths of the world
The scientific religion in this world is Islam because in the Quran, everything scientific mentioned has happened in our world or will happen. An example of this is that in the Quran, it is mentioned that the Antarctic ice will be melted sometime and some countries will be over flooded with water, and this is happenning that the Antarctic ice is now melting, but till now it has not caused flood in some countries like America and Canada, but it will soon do as some scientis say it will melt after 10 yrs and some say 30 and others say over 50 yrs.
C. Antarctic
The Ice Sheet covering Antarctica consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice.This ice covers Antarctica to an average thickness of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). If all the Antarctic ice melted, because all this ice is on land, it would raise sea levels around the world by about 61 meters (200 feet).A:According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, the ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents 61.1 metres (200 feet) of sea-level change.
The Antarctic.
No, but 98% of the continent of Antarctica is covered by its ice sheet.
We can't know the answer. The West Antarctic Peninsula is warming faster than anywhere else in the world. Since 1958 it has warmed by 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit (2.4 degrees Celsius) which is three times faster than the overall rate of global warming. However East Antarctica has hardly melted at all.
The largest desert in the world is the Antarctic Desert which covers nearly all of the Antarctic continent.
