Greenland's ice cap, and the glaciers formed where the ice meets the sea, have been melting at an increasing rate every year. Recent data showed an annual melting of 195 cubic kilometers (47 cubic miles).
East Antarctica is not showing much change, but West Antarctica, especially the peninsula, is warming, its glaciers are melting and its ice shelves, undermined by the warming ocean, are breaking off and floating off as icebergs.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the polar ice caps being damaged?
Global warming is melting the polar ice caps and they are slowly disappearing.
Are the polar bears being affected by the melting of polar ice caps?
yes because they live on ice and now thay have to adapt to their fast changing surroundings which they are finding it hard to.

Do humans live in the polar ice caps?

Which three planets have polar ice caps?
Mars, Earth, and Pluto have polar ice caps. Mars' polar ice caps are primarily made of water and carbon dioxide ice, Earth's polar ice caps are primarily made of frozen water, and Pluto's polar ice caps are a mixture of methane and nitrogen ice.
Are there crops on the polar ice caps?

Does it rain in the polar ice caps?
Rain on the polar ice caps? Probably not; snow would be more common.
What caused disappearance of land bridges?

What planet has polar ice caps?
Mars has polar ice caps at its north and south poles. These ice caps are primarily composed of water ice and carbon dioxide ice. The polar ice caps on Mars play a significant role in the planet's climate and atmospheric composition.
What animals will be affected when the polar ice caps melt?
Various animals will be affected when polar ice caps melt, including polar bears, seals, walrus, penguins, and Arctic birds. These animals rely on the ice for hunting, breeding, and resting, and the melting ice threatens their habitats and food sources. Additionally, some fish species that depend on cold water may also be impacted.
