What are the effects of icebergs melting?
Icebergs melting adds fresh water to the oceans. Icebergs are floating already, so when they melt they do not cause a rise in sea levels. Glaciers and land ice, like the Greenland ice-cap, and any ice on Antarctica, do cause a rise in sea levels when they melt.
Why is the Arctic Ocean rising?
due to the melting of the icebergs the water levels are rising real quickly Rubbish icebergs are floating they displace exactly their own volume of sea water. Don't believe everything you read, try doing a little research yourself you might just be surprised at what you find. It is even possible you might discover the truth.
Will the melting of icebergs flood your coast?
No. Icebergs are in the water already, so their melting does not raise sea levels.Glaciers and land ice when they melt do raise the sea levels.
How do melting icebergs contribute to the Antarctic waters?
Melting icebergs anywhere on earth contribute to elevated ocean levels. This is also true in the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica.
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 are the oxygen levels in the arctic?
i have no clue
How many levels in the icon game in arctic antics?

How does heat effect the earth?
The warmth heats up the icebergs in the sea. this causes sea levels to rise....
Why would melting icebergs raise ocean levels since floating ice cubes do not raise water levels when they melt?
u got a point there dude
What geographical event made the sea level drop to reveal the land bridge between asia and america?
The ice age! This made the water level drop by turning lots of water into icebergs. Just as people say global warming will make sea levels rise as the icebergs melt, ice ages do the exact opposite: making sea levels drop while storing water in icebergs & glaciers.
Does the Arctic have a high or low water level?
In the recent years the levels in the Arctic have been increasing do to melting ice caps. Although before then the levels were fairly level.
What would happen if the icebergs melt?
Not much. Icebergs are already floating in the oceans, so any melting will not raise sea levels. Melting icebergs add fresh water to the oceans, but this will only matter if huge amounts of ice melt.
