What else can I help you with?
What problems does Antarctica face on ice?
Ice fields melting.
What impact does climate change have on antarctica?
Global warming is slowly melting the ice in Antarctica.
Why don't animals live in Antarctica?
because the ice is melting
How does Antarctica's melting ice affect global sea levels?
Antarctica's melting ice will flow into the sea. This will raise sea levels around the world. There is enough ice on Antarctica to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
Where is Antarctica melting?
Antarctica is a continent, and continents do not melt. However, the ice shelves attached to 44% of the continent are disintegrating, due to the warming of the Southern Ocean. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent melts and freezes cyclically.
What is there to drink in Antarctica?
You can find water there by melting ice or desalinating sea water.
What threatens the freshwater in antarctica?
Melting is the only threat to the freshwater ice sheet.
What is happening to the ice shelves in antarctica?
Ice shelves in Antarctica are melting at an accelerating rate due to warming ocean temperatures and increased melting from the bottom. This can lead to the destabilization of the ice shelves and contribute to rising sea levels as more ice flows into the ocean. Scientists are closely monitoring these changes to understand their impact on the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet.
What if your trapped in Antarctica and need pure water how do you get it?
Melting ice works, because the ice sheet is fresh water.
Is antarctica a continent covered by ice and snow just like the arctic?
yes, with exception that the arctic's ice is melting
Why is Antarctica being threatened?
Antarctica is being viewed as being threatened theoretically because of Global Warming. Experts say the ice caps are melting, which is causing a threat to Antarctica because it is covered by ice.
Why is antarctica so fragile?
it's because the ice is melting because of globle warming.
