Yes, icebergs are breaking off from ice shelves, floating away and then melting. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to be warmer and this is melting the ice.

Yes. Warm air and warm water melt icebergs. This does not raise sea levels. Only melting land ice raises sea levels.

How is climate affected by elevation?

Climate is affected by elevation because higher elevations generally have cooler temperatures due to decreased air pressure, which causes the air to expand and cool as it rises. This leads to changes in precipitation patterns and the types of vegetation that can grow at different elevations. In general, as elevation increases, climate becomes colder, windier, and wetter.
