No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.

Is antartika occean is full of glacier?
Yes, the Antarctica ocean is full of glaciers. However, over the years the glaciers are melting away. The cause of the melting is said to be global warming.
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.
Where do glaciers go after they move?
ocean
What is a glaciers that floats away in the ocean?
Icebergs are glaciers that typically break off of ice shelves.
How does the temperature affect the circulation of the ocean?
Higher temperatures in the polar regions can increase sea levels by melting more ice. In the ocean, increased temperatures result in greater evaporation and can therefore increase precipitation over both the ocean and the land.
How can ocean get bigger?
An ocean can become bigger when glaciers start melting (Global Warming does this)

Why is water a never ending story?
Water is a never ending story because the world is covered in water. Glaciers are melting which is increasing the amount of water in the ocean. Also, rain provides more water which increase the lakes, streams, and waterways.
What is the acidity of the ocean?
The acidity of the ocean is about a third of human created CO2 emissions.
Give three areas in the ocean where salinity may be less than average?
Around the mouth of rivers and glaciers, or where an ice shelf is melting.
Is there any water in Svalbard?
Svalbard is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There is plenty of running water in the summer with melt streams from glaciers and melting snow.
What does runoff include?
Water also reaches the ocean as runoff from the surface. Runoff includes flow from rivers as well as melting snowfields and glaciers.
What is responsible for the partial melting of peridotite beneth the mid-ocean ridges?
An increase in pressure.
What is the acidity of the Pacific Ocean?
the acidity of a pacific ocean is normally by the irritation of sea and fishes
What would have the greatest effect on sea level a melting glacier or a melting iceberg?
Glaciers. Ice bergs would have very little impact on ocean level, beyond thermal contraction from heat dissipation. The reason is that ice bergs, like boats, already displace a volume of water equal to their weight. Glaciers predominantly rest above the ocean surface, and their melt water runoff entirely increases the ocean volume.
Where is most of the freshwater on earth located?
In glaciers. There is more frozen fresh water than in all the lakes and streams. Glacial melting also causes the desalination of the ocean, which is a bad thing. so we want the fresh water to stay in the glaciers
