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).

∙ 6y agoMelting ice caps will:
- cause flooding
- change the salinity and density of the oceans water which will affect fish species (food for humans), ocean currents (causing a change in global climate), change weather patterns
- increase icebergs conflicting with shipping, oil platforms, etc.
- change the balance and pressures on the Earth's crust causing earthquakes and volcanic action

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.
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 is melting water at base of the glacier that helps the ice move over land?
Basal flow :) :) :)
Is ice melting ice a physical or chemical change?
melting ice a physical change
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.
What will the melting of ice do to humans?
drown us, with rising ocean levels.
How do humans effect resources?
We are causing global warming which is melting the ice.

What does melting ice do?
Melting ice turns the ice into water.

Basal flow :) :) :)
How did baby mammoths become extinct?
mamoths either became exstinxt from humans hunting them or the melting of the ice age

Is ice melting chemical reaction?
ice melting is a physical reaction
