Antarctica is a continent, and the size of raw land is not affected by global warming.
Sea ice, which is permanent in the Arctic and covers 98% of the continent of Antarctica is affected by global warming.
Some current predictions state that the Arctic sea ice may disappear in the coming years.
(The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude the position of which moves slightly depending on the tilt of the earth. Global warming does not affect its position.)
Antarctica has already been experiencing warming, though not as much as in some other parts of the world. It is generally losing ice, though mostly on the coast whereas there may be slight gains in East Antarctica. Sea ice has been slowly increasing in coverage, though this is largely due to variations in the Southern Annular Mode.
Yes, global warming is melting ice everywhere, including Antarctica. Warming air is putting more moisture into the atmosphere, which, in Antarctica is falling as snow in the centre of the continent. As the centre is well below freezing point, this snow builds up as ice. However, the edges of the ice cap are melting, particularly in the Western Peninsula.
Yes, but the effects in cold countries, and Antarctica is a very cold continent, are harder to pick. There is evidence that the ice shelves in the west are melting faster by warmer seas getting in underneath. This is causing the 'calving' of icebergs and indeed, great mountains of ice.
Yes, Antarctica is melting from global warming.
Yes. As well, the southern ocean waters are warming, melting ice shelves -- Larson in particular on the peninsula -- from the bottom.
Global means world-wide, so global warming is a warming all over the earth. Warming melts ice, including the ice in Antarctica.
yes of course
gettting warmer
The global warming is threatening Antarctica. This is happening because ice is melting and Emperor Penguins could be threatened as well.
Yes, the Antarctica ocean is full of glaciers. However, over the years the glaciers are melting away. The cause of the melting is said to be global warming.
Global warming will head to Antarctica (south pole
By definition, GLOBAL warming happens over the entire planet, so no, there cannot be global warming in any one location or region. However, LOCAL warming is not occurring in Antarctica. Temperatures there are colder than have ever been recorded, and they are STILL going down.
Global warming is melting land ice all around the world, particularly glaciers, Greenland and Antarctica. This is raising sea levels and will flood many coastal plains. So the maps of countries will change.
it will become smaller because of global warming is melting antarctica
Global warming is slowly melting the ice in Antarctica.
Global air pollution contributes to global warming, which in turn can contribute to ice melting in Antarctica.
The global warming is threatening Antarctica. This is happening because ice is melting and Emperor Penguins could be threatened as well.
There is no permanent population on the continent of Antarctica.
It is a bad thing. It is taken to confirm global warming.
Because the production of oil and gas contribute to global warming, the ice in Antarctica is melting at a faster than natural rate.
Global warming is damaging because it will make the sea level rise and some cities will be washed out. Polar Bears and Penguins will drown because their home is melting.
Global Warming. Due to global warming, ice in the polar region is melting
global warming
Global warming is melting the glaciers throughout the earth's surface.
Yes, the Antarctica ocean is full of glaciers. However, over the years the glaciers are melting away. The cause of the melting is said to be global warming.
