water, and anything that gets trapped inside them.
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.
Fresh Water cause 2 % of the 3 percent of fresh water on Earth is in the icecaps, glaciers, and icebergs.

Yes, during the Carboniferous period (i.e. the time when most of our coal resources formed) the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were much much higher than they are now. This produced a greenhouse effect so strong that not only did the glaciers melt away but there was also no polar icecaps!
Glaciers are extremely heavy and massive. Glaciers cover about 10 percent of the Earth's land area and store around 75 percent of the world's freshwater.
A glacier and an ice cap are two different things so there are no glaciers called icecaps.

Oceans contain most of the world's water.Frozen icecaps and glaciers contain most of the world's fresh water.
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.
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.
