They can change Earth's surface in many ways, but the easiest to explain and understand is the physical change of ice melting to water. If the ice caps in Antarctica or the Arctic melt due to the heat of the sun, the Oceans would have more liquid water and less ice, therefore changing the Earth's surface and making it wetter. And some scientists say it would cover the world in water, which i disagree with, although I do believe in saving polar bears and such. For example, fill a glass with a little water and a lot of ice, then watch it melt, was the line where the ice's top the same? That's what I thought
