Yes - and re-form - but over geological time measured in 1000s or 10s of 1000s of years. (The last glacial retreat of the present Ice Age is reckoned to have started about 12000 years ago.)

How do glaciers monitor climate conditions?
They originate as pieces of the ice caps and as the ice caps melt/climate warms they break off and melt, thus showing us what the climate is doing and how fast the earth is heating up due to global warming.
What would happen to the polar ice caps due to global warming?
They could all disappear if the temperature of the earth rises enough.
What will happen to the earths climate as the ice caps continue to melt?
alot of the earth land will be covered by water and there will be less landspace for people to live.
What would most directly cause ice caps to melt?
global warming
Planet other then earth with two polar ice caps?

What causes the earth to retain heat and could cause the ice caps to melt?

What causes polar ice to melt?
Melting of the ice caps Global warming causes the ice caps to melt. As they melt, the moving water corrodes at the remaining ice, speeding up the process.

How dangerous is poulution?
im can melt our polar ice caps and flood the earth maybe not the whole earth land but most for it. so treat the earth with respect or this will happen.RECYCLE
When will the ice caps stop melting?
There is no indication that they will stop melting (technically, they really wouldn't stop even if the earth weren't warming). Much of the area of the ice caps has been observed to be accelerating in melt, in fact.
Do cars help to make ice caps melt?
yes
How does ice melt naturally?
If you put a ice at a sunny side not moving it, it will naturally melt into water not moving it's place just a puddle of water.
