Global Warming.
How is human activity affecting antarctica?
By killing polar bears!
How is the ozone depltion affecting antarctica?
The ozone depletion causes UV to enter the earth. These are causing plankton death in Antarctica.
When will global warming affect Antarctica?
It already is affecting Antarctica, though not as much as in some other parts of the world. It is generally losing ice, though mostly on the coast whereas there may be slight gains in East Antarctica. It is also warming, again especially on the coast but no so much in East Antarctica.
Is climate change already affecting penguins in Antarctica?
Yes. Phytoplankton (algae) grow under the ice shelves of Antarctica. Warmer water is affecting the growth of phytoplanktons. Krill (zooplankton) need them to survive. These two are vital links in the food chain of the Antarctic. Penguins need krill and the fish that feed on krill. Climate change is damaging the food chain in Antarctica and threatening the lives of all the animals there, including the penguins.
How are the greenhouse gases affecting Antarctica's ice?
Apparently, the oceans are warming around the Antarctic continent, thus melting the ice shelves from underneath.
Why has the ice in antarctica been melting so fast and how is it affecting sea levels?
since your mum lived with the dinosaurs and th ice age
What if antarctica wasn't discovered?
We would have never discovered emperor penguins, and we would still be a bit confused of how global warming is affecting us today, and we would have never discovered the deep sea species that live in Antarctica, etc.
Is there any one animal in Antarctica that is most affected by global warming?
Penguins. They live on fish and krill. Krill supplies are being affected by warmer waters and this is affecting the whole food chain.
Why do researchers continue to explore Antarctica and it's unique environment?
It's interesting and they are looking for new species of animals and plants. The more we know about Antarctica, the better we can protect in. Researchers are recording how global warming is affecting Antarctica.
What continent lies south west of Australia?

What is antarctica's real name?
