Some penguins, like Emperor Penguins, breed and raise their young entirely on sea ice. When sea ice melts earlier at the end of winter this disrupts the breeding season.
Another problem is that the penguins' food source, krill and other tiny crustaceans, survives on phytoplankton and zooplankton that grow on the ice. As the ice disappears, so does the plankton, disrupting the food chain.

What are 5 biotic factors in a penguins ecosystem?
Four abiotic factors in an eycosystem are snow, ice, and water, and temperature.Four biotic factors in a penguins ecosystem are bacteria, fish, krill, and the leopard seals!abiotic factors are all nonliving things in an ecosystem. biotic factors are the living things in a ecosystem. Abiotic and biotic combined make an ecosystem.
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
The melting of polar ice caps due to higher temperatures contributes to rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding, erosion, and habitat loss. It also impacts ocean circulation patterns and can disrupt marine ecosystems. Additionally, the influx of freshwater from melting ice can alter water salinity levels and affect marine life.
What will the glaciers do to the sea level rising?
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.
What animal is threaten by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet?
Polar bears are threatened by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, as they heavily rely on sea ice for hunting and breeding. The loss of sea ice reduces their access to food sources and disrupts their natural habitat.
What if ice caps melt?
Sea levels will rise due to land ice melting. Sea-ice formation & thawdo not affect sea-level.some Coastlines will retreat.their will be floods
Why is sea ice melt does not contribute directly to sea level?
Sea ice is already in the water, so melting it doesn't affect sea levels.
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).
What are some things that affect the emperor penguin's habitat and ways of living?
melting ice and sea lions
How freezing and evaporation affect salinity?
Salinity is increased by evaporation or by freezing of sea ice. It is decreased as a result of rainfall, runoff, or melting of ice.
How can the melting ice caps affect people?
They can raise the sea levels and permanently flood coastal cities and croplands.

Why is melting sea ice such a threat to the polar bears?
Melting sea ice is a threat to the polar bears because without the sea ice the polar bears predators will see them and swim away.
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
When do fairy penguins return from fishing at sea?
to ice land.
What is the melting point of water at sea level and what happens to this point at altitudes above sea level?
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
