How do you use the word ice cap in a sentence?
Global warming is on the rise again and the ice caps are melting rapidly.
What are glacier and polar ice caps?
this means that the polar bears habitat is melting because of global warming and climate change. other ways: the ice is melting because of climate change and global warming this means that polar bears are being extinct.
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.
Would you find polar bears in Antarctica?
No. It's too cold and there is no food there for polar bears.No. they only live on the north polar ice cap.
What kind of effects does the melting of the polar ice cap cause?
This is would result in the loss of habitats to many species of animals, for example the polar bear. The melting in ice caps would cause sea levels to rise. Islands would sink. Countries like Bangladesh will experience more floods because their land lies in low altitudes.
Which polar cap on Mars is larger and colder?
Mars Polar CapThe southern polar cap is larger and colder. It is composed of carbon dioxide (dry ice) while the northern is mainly water ice (which freezes at a warmer temperature, therefore the dry ice cap in the south is colder).
Are polar bears extinct or threatened?
polar bears are an endangered species (which means they are threatened) parts of the arctic cap are melting because of global warming, and that is where they live. Polar bears are listed as "vulnerable, and are not an endangered species just yet. In fact, there is evidence that the population is on the rise.
How have animals in the Arctic been affected by the ice cap melting?
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.
What is mar's largest polar cap?
Mars' largest polar cap is the northern polar cap, known as the North Polar Ice Cap. It is made up of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, covering an area roughly equivalent to the size of Greenland on Earth.
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
Will the polar bear live 20 years after the ice cap is gone?
probably but this is not proven many ice caps are melting which means polar\ bears cannot find food thus diying of starvation. basicaly polar bears arent on the endagered list. There is no evidence that shows the polar ice caps are melting away any faster than is expected normally. In 1922, scientists predicted the calamity of melted ice caps and rising sea levels. Didn't happen then, and most likely won't now. Polar bears are adaptable creatures, and would adjust most likely.
What are the ocean currents like in the polar ice cap?
In the polar ice cap regions, ocean currents are generally characterized by slower speeds and more complex patterns compared to warmer waters. The Arctic Ocean, for example, has a system of currents that are influenced by the seasonal melting of ice, which affects salinity and temperature. These currents, such as the Transpolar Drift and the Beaufort Gyre, play crucial roles in distributing heat and nutrients. In contrast, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current encircles Antarctica, facilitating the movement of cold water and impacting global ocean circulation.
