How can an increase in the annual melt season in Antarctica have global effects?
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
What is ice that forms and then melts seasonally around the coast of Antarctica?
It's just called sea ice. If it melts every year, the term is "first year ice".
If antarctica melts would it be enough water to flood the world?
No. If all the ice on Antarctica melts, it will raise sea levels round the world by 60 metres (200 feet).
How the ice of Antarctica have been formed?
It's in the ice that melt over the ice plateu and fall to the water and floats until it melts.
Can the size of the ice cube effects how fast it melts?
OBVIOUSLY.
What will happen to the world if the Antarctica ice cover melts?
a lot of artic animals will be extinct
How is melting in Antarctica an issue?
When ice melts the animals lose their homes and eventually die
What impact does climate change have on antarctica?
Global warming is slowly melting the ice in Antarctica.
What will Antarctica be if all the ice melts?
Antarctica will be a rocky continent with mountains and lakes. The huge weight of the present ice cap is pushing the land down. If all the ice melts the land will rise up by 1500 feet or 450 metres. So the global sea level rise of 200 feet (60 metres), will not flood Antarctica.
Why is global warming important to us and Antarctica?
the earth will be thrown of it's axis if the ice melts. the ice in the north and south pole is what keeps the earth balance. if that ice melts major earthquakes and hurricanes will form
What happens when Ice breaks off from the edges of Antarctica?
it will float to warmer Waters and eventually melts.
Why does Antarctica melt?
It's covered with an ice layer 9 miles thick in places, what you see on Google earth is once massive glacier. Because of "global warming" the polar caps are heating up, since Ice melts in heat, and Antarctica is one giant "ice cube" it melts...
