Why does the ocean gain acid when glaciers melt?
Melting glaciers are associated with elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, hence, the oceans become more acidic.
What two things could you observe when glaciers melt?
When glaciers melt, ocean levels rise and cause continent land mass to decrease. This could also cause volcanoes under glaciers to be exposed and possibly erupt.
What top three things do glaciers ruin or cause in the world?
i don't know the real answer but melt water is important i think
If the glaciers melt what would happen to the sea level over a long time?
As glaciers melt the sea level rises and cause the water to get deeper.Which comes t the theory global warming.If the theory is true the eventullay all land masses would become covered by water.
How is gravity glaciers wind and water alike?
they melt rocks
Why are glaciers still on the earth if its so warm?
Glaciers are located in nearly freezing water and the global warming is slowly heating the water which makes the glaciers melt.
Why do glaciers cause erosion?
Glaciers cause erosion since they are in form of a block of snow which will melt and erode the land. This can be in form of abrasion, freeze-thaw or plucking.
How do glaciers weather valleys?
they melt and put water in the valleys and they grow
How does glaciers couse erosion?
I'm not sure if I'm right with this but I think glaciers cause erosion when they melt? I'm honestly not sure.
How are glaciers and a sliding Ice cube similar?
glaciers slide slowly when they melt and there is water under them similarly as ice cubes.
As glaciers melt the land underneath sinks?
Water from the glacier starts melting into the soil and dropping more water into oceans
Why huge glaciers do not melt in sun.whereas ice cubes taken out from refrigerators melt within minutes?
It's not that glaciers don't melt in the sun; if you watch videos of glaciers you'll see water pouring off them. The difference is size: it takes far less time for a one-ounce ice cube to melt than a million-gallon glacier.
