What two green house gases increased ice melting in Greenland?
Water in it's gaseous state and carbon dioxide were two gases that caused increased melting in Greenland.
What animal is threaten by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet?
penguin
Why is Greenland melting so fast?
Climate change is the dominant reason why.
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 do humans effect Greenland's resources?
We are causing global warming which is melting the ice.
What causes the size of the Atlantic Oceans growth?
Melting Glaciers
Do ocean currents change directions when weather affects it?
Actually, ocean currents are what largely regulate the weather and the wind. Currently, the North Atlantic current is warm, therefore a small area of Greenland and the Arctic are warming and causing a little more melting of glaciers in that area.
What is the nearest land to Greenland?
The closest country to Greenland is Canada, or North America.
Are there volcanoes in Greenland?
There are a couple reports out there of a supposed eruption in Greenland in 2006, however no scientific forum or otherwise has ever confirmed this. There are theories that volcanoes may be melting glacial ice under the Greenland Ice Cap, but this also has not been verified. No satellite data has ever captured an eruption in Greenland. The Nussaw Basin in Greenland displays some volcanic features from the Paleocene time period, and clastic material is present in some sedement layers, however these are ancient, and no new volcanism has ever been confirmed on the Greenland continent.
What consequence of climate change could cause shoreline erosion and coastal flooding?
The melting of the glaciers and ice caps of Greenland, Antarctica and other places.
The melting of Greenland ice sheet poses an immediate threat to the survival of which animal?
The Polar bear gets in real trouble if the ice cap disappeared.
Why is the earth's wobble increasing?
Because Greenland's ice shelf is melting, while the Antarctic's is increasing in depth.
