It will force the ice caps to melt causing a rise in water levels forcing mass floods and throwing off alot of habitats

Why are the polar zones colder than the other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.

Why do ice cores taken from polar regions contain much older information about earths climate than icecores taken from mountaintops?
Because the snow is very compressed in the polar regions
How do the total number of hours of sun light in a year compare for a tropical regions and polar regions of the earth Why are polar regions so much cooler?
A) About the same. B) Because the energy per unit area is greater near the equator than at the poles. i.e. the sun is overhead more in tropical areas (and never at the poles).
How much warmer is the temperature in the sun than shade?
much warmer
How does the snow and ice in the arctic help us humans?
It helps to regulate the planets temperature. If there were no polar ice, the heat from the sun would cause the temperature to climb much more rapidly. The warmer air at the equator rises, which 'sucks in' colder air from the polar regions regions. This cycle is continuous, regulating the planets temperature all year round.
Why is there so much moss in polar regions?
because there its cold and snowy

How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
What is the rainfall of the polar desert?
There isn't much precipitation (Rain, snow, hail, sleet) in the Polar Regions because the air is too cold to contain much water vapour. In some parts of the Polar Regions it is as dry as the desert because rain has not fallen for a matter of years.
How much rain falls yearly in the polar regions?
That's what im trying to find out...lol
Why in the Midwest or colder regions do you fortify milk with vitamin D?
because they don't spend as much time in the sun, which is how most people in warmer regions get their vitamin D
Why is farming not practiced in polar regions?
Farming is not practiced in the polar regions because of the harsh weather conditions like extremely low temperatures, and the snow. You could try it in the warmer seasons, but fishing and hunting would be much easier. Many plants especially ones that are harvested don't like it there because of low temperatures, and the snow and can't grow there. There would be very little nutrients if a plant was there. However, algae and moss grow there, but they are not edible.
