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).

How does the melting of the polar ice caps caused by higher temperatures affect the rest of the hydrosphere?
Global Sea Levels are expected to rise.
How do environmental issues affect Antarctica?
Global warming is melting all of the ice which will make all of the animals that live there die and sea levels will rise.
How does global warming affect China?
Global warming is global, so it affecting China the same as other countries. Temperatures are rising, as are sea levels. Glaciers are melting and China's great rivers may lose their reservoirs of ice.
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.
Does global warming affect intertidal zone?
global warming would indeed affect the intertidal zone, it would affect the water levels, salinity and most likely temperature.
How does global warming affect landforms?
Global warming will increase the size of deserts.Rising sea levels will submerge some landforms.
Could have global warming had an impact on the tsunami in 2004?
Not directly. Climate does not affect earthquakes or tsunamis, however, it is possible that the tsunami came in on top of sea levels that were already higher due to melting ice and thermal expansion of the water.
Why do sea levels rise due to global warming?
Because of continental ice melting and thermal expansion o the water itself.
How can the melting ice caps affect people?
They can raise the sea levels and permanently flood coastal cities and croplands.
Are icebergs affected by climate change?
Yes, icebergs are breaking off from ice shelves, floating away and then melting. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to be warmer and this is melting the ice.
What can global warming trigger?
Hurricanes, extreme weather (climate change), sea levels rising, glaciers melting, sea ice melting, animals dying out, pine beetles killing forests and much more.
How can global warming affect glaciers and ice caps?
Global warming affects glaciers by melting them. The water runs into the oceans, raising the sea levels.Global warming affects oceans by warming them. Warm water expands, so ocean levels are rising even further!
