Melting polar ice caps would raise the sea level by about 70 feet, resulting in massive flooding and submergence of many coastal regions, which are heavily populated, resulting in an enormous refugee crisis, of unprecedented magnitude.
SEA ice-caps' melting will have NO effect on sea-level. The rise will come from thawing LAND ice (Greenland, Siberian tundra permafrost, Antarctic continental).

When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?

Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.


Does putting salt on ice helps to slow melting?

Ice melts when it gets warmer. The ice is receiving energy in the form of sunlight no matter how reflective it is. When the ice is reflective, the energy turns around and leaves as reflected sunlight. Less reflective ice has more of the energy stay in the ice as heat, warming it up and melting it faster.


How NACL helps in melting of ice?

Sodium chloride (salt) lowers the melting point of ice - so it turns back to water at a lower temperature that it would normally.


What does melting ice do?

Melting ice turns the ice into water.


Why is it that the ice of the coke float in mcdonalds's doesnt melt easily?

The ice in a Coke float at McDonald's may not melt as quickly because the ice is typically made with a higher density, which helps it resist melting faster. Additionally, the cold temperature of the drink helps keep the ice from melting rapidly. Furthermore, the ice is often made with filtered water, which tends to have fewer impurities that can accelerate melting.


Are humans responsible for polar ice caps melting?

The arctic ice caps are melting because of global warming. The strong consensus of climate scientists is that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and deforestation, are responsible for gloabal warming. So, yes, humans are responsible for polar ice caps melting.

What is the name of the process of ice melting to water?

The process of ice melting into water is called "melting." This occurs when the temperature of the ice rises above its melting point, causing the solid ice to transition into liquid water.


How does salt preserve ice?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt. This melting process requires energy, which is taken from the surrounding environment, making the ice colder and slowing down the melting process. This helps preserve the ice by keeping it frozen for longer.
