The rising sea levels are not affecting the polar bears, The cause of the sea level's rise is effecting them. The sea levels are rising because the ice in Arctic regions is melting. This changes where seals can rest and breed which reduces the ease of the polar bears finding food. The lack of ice also presents difficulties when they want to rest from swimming and when they want to travel quickly over the frozen sea.The climate change thus reduces their food and their energy expenditure. This leads to starvation and death

How is a rising sea level affecting the polar bear?
Polar bears aren't much troubled by the rising sea levels, as they aren't particularly interested in what goes on at the coastline anyhow. The big problem for the polar bears is the temperature.

How is hunting affecting polar bears?
its killing them
Are physical barriers affecting polar bears?
A physical barrier is affecting polar bears. The decrease in polar ice means that there are less seals. Therefore, the bears have to search further and expend more energy in their hunt for food.
How is human activity affecting antarctica?

Yes, due to rising sea levels Polar bears often go for a quick paddle. The end
How does color affect the rate of ice melting?
The polar ice melt is affecting the melting rate of ice as it is rising the level of the seawater which may lead to submergence of land.
What is happening to the sea level?
The ozone layer will have a lot of holes which will make the weather warmer, the ice caps will melt and polar bears will die. So The Sea Level is obviously rising.
How does rising temperatures affect polar bears?
no where for them to live because the ice would melt
Is a polar bear a 1consumer or a 2 consumer or 3 consumer?
