Melting of the ice caps
Global warming causes the ice caps to melt. As they melt, the moving water corrodes at the remaining ice, speeding up the process.
What else can I help you with?
When will all polar bears die out?
when the polar ice caps melt
What are the CO2 levels doing to cause polar bear extinction?
Rising levels of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere are causing the temperatures to be warmer in the Arctic. Polar bears can only hunt when ice covers the ocean, but warmer temperatures melt the ice, which causes polar bears to starve.
How does dramatic ice melt affect the arctic?
The big companies are to blame. They are using too much Carbon Dioxide, which causes it to break 'dramatic' holes in the ozone layer usually in the polar ice caps.
What is the name of the process that causes ice to melt?
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
How do you help a polar bear become extinct?
Take away the ice or melt it.
What from lemon juice causes ice to melt the fastest?
The rime
What causes ice on a pond to melt?
Sunlight melts it away! The rays the sun casts is enough to melt ice. also the season's are changing
Is global warming making the polar ice melt?
Yes, polar ice is melting and summers are becoming longer and more ice-free. This is dangerous for polar bears which need long cold winters to feed enough to last through the summers.
What animals will be affected when the polar ice caps melt?
Various animals will be affected when polar ice caps melt, including polar bears, seals, walrus, penguins, and Arctic birds. These animals rely on the ice for hunting, breeding, and resting, and the melting ice threatens their habitats and food sources. Additionally, some fish species that depend on cold water may also be impacted.
What could be the effect of global warming of the polar ice caps melt?
Sea levels will rise.
How does the addition of salt make ice colder?
When salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of the ice. This causes the ice to melt, but in order to melt, it needs to absorb heat from its surroundings, which makes the ice colder.
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
