How does global warming affect ice melting?

Answer 1

Affects the temperature to rise more warmer causing the lack of ice and snow to develop. Affects many ecosystems to species.

I found this out when doing a geography project that global warming is affecting the arctic by making ice melt earlier and freeze later.

Answer 2

It doesn't effect me at all, I live at 700 feet.

On the other hand, my sister lives at 6 feet, and the tide gets closer to her home every year. In some countries it is devastating. In places like Bangladesh it leaves thousands without homes or farmland. When the whole North Pole is melted, the water will rise not at all, because floating ice doesn't change sea level .... but when Greenland and Antarctica melt it may raise sea levels around 7 or 8 metres. This will flood sea countries like the Netherlands so that half of the Netherlands will disappear under the sea level.

Answer 3

The arctic ice melting would be an example of a positive feedback on the warming of our planet. With less ice we would have less reflecting material (albedo effect) and therefore the ability to absorb more heat.

Ice reflects the sun's radiation. When the ice is gone, the dark sea will absorb more heat and warm up more quickly.

Answer 4

While if you keep on using gas and pollute the earth. You break the Ozone layer and then the sun heats the earth and the heat gets trapped because their is no place for it to go because all the pollution is trapping it. Their fore The ice will melt it will become very hot. You may die or never see snow again that's why it is important to keep the earth clean

Answer 5

There are two consequences of melting ice caps.

• Number one, sea levels will rise and wipeout coastal living spaces.
• Number two, melting ice caps are fresh water, so they will reduce ocean salinity. If ocean salinity is reduced, there is no telling how many ocean species might become extinct.

It leaves less habitat for arctic animals like polar bears and penguins, and the excess water from the caps will raise the water level in the process flooding near by coastal areas.br

Ice caps melting = increase in height of oceans. Cities on Coastlines, usually where most people live at, will be affected since rising ocean levels could mean that these cities will see flooding in the future.

It leaves many species of arctic animals without a home, which definitely affects the earth. Also, it leads to the rise in the level of the ocean, which causes a plethora of problems as well.

Answer 6

the world will drown

Answer 7

It effects it because the earth is getting hotter because of Global Warming therefore ice melts faster.

Answer 8

It could be a problem because it could flood the entire world.
