How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?
The melting point of an impure compound will become closer to that of the actual melting point of the pure substance with recrystallization of your mixture.
Is it illegal to melt Antarctica?
Under the Antarctic Treaty, there is no covenant that addresses melting ice in Antarctica. Please know that the continent will not melt, but the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent is subject to natural melting, which is not illegal.
What is the global implication of excessive melting of Antarctic ice?
The excessive melting of Antarctic ice would lead to global rises in sea levels. Many low lying countries like Holland, Bangladesh and Pacific Island countries would be flooded. Coastal areas of most countries around the world would be underwater. It would also indicate that almost all satellite measurements and our best metering equipment is wrong. It would throw the concept that we understand the planet back by decades as all of our modern equipment shows the Antarctic is not melting or losing ice. The Antarctic has been gaining ice for decades. The same could be said if the Arctic was shown to not be losing some ice. Our measurements on just about everything would become suspect.
How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
Global Sea Levels are expected to rise.
What effect would too rapid heating have upon apparent melting point of a compound?
The melting point of the compound would be lower than it actually is.
Which is melting faster the Arctic or the Antarctic?
The Arctic
Higher melting point than expected?
It is indeed possible for a substance to have a higher melting point than expected. This normally happens when the substance is impure.
How many square miles is the antarctic?
The Antarctic is constantly changing due to melting ice caps. The latest figures state the Antarctic is 413,129 Sq Mi (1.07 million km2).
How do melting icebergs contribute to the Antarctic waters?
Melting icebergs anywhere on earth contribute to elevated ocean levels. This is also true in the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica.
How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?
The melting point of an impure compound will become closer to that of the actual melting point of the pure substance with recrystallization of your mixture.
Why is America referred to as a melting point?
It's actually melting pot.
Is Antarctica starting to melt?
Actually, continents don't melt. However, 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, which is subject to melting.
How is the melting point of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?
The test to see what can be done.
Why were huskies romoved from antarctic?
Because when the Antarctic was melting in 1902, scientists decided to move the animals to North America so they would not drown. They have since become a popular pet in Canada and America, and scientists plan to reintroduce them to the wild when the Antarctic grows back sometime in 2013.
Is it illegal to melt Antarctica?
Under the Antarctic Treaty, there is no covenant that addresses melting ice in Antarctica. Please know that the continent will not melt, but the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent is subject to natural melting, which is not illegal.
What is wind drift?
Another term for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The current prevents warm water from reaching Antarctica and melting the ice caps.
How are the greenhouse gases affecting Antarctica's ice?
Apparently, the oceans are warming around the Antarctic continent, thus melting the ice shelves from underneath.
