What else can I help you with?
What cause sea level to rise?
Global Warming and the melting of ice.
Why is melting sea ice such a threat to the polar bears?
Melting sea ice is a threat to the polar bears because without the sea ice the polar bears predators will see them and swim away.
Why would ice glaciers but not melting ice shelves cause a rise in the sea level?
Ice glaciers contribute to sea level rise because they are land-based ice that, when melted, adds water to the ocean. In contrast, melting ice shelves, which float on the ocean, do not directly raise sea levels since they are already displacing water. The melting of ice shelves can indirectly influence sea level rise by allowing glaciers to flow more rapidly into the ocean, but their direct contribution to sea level change is negligible compared to that of land glaciers.
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
What if ice caps melt?
Sea levels will rise due to land ice melting. Sea-ice formation & thawdo not affect sea-level.some Coastlines will retreat.their will be floods
What is the melting point of water at sea level and what happens to this point at altitudes above sea level?
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
What is happening to the ice caps?
The ice caps on the mountains are melting down the mountains and into the sea, and if that happens then the sea will fill up and it will cause more floods and overflows.
Why is sea ice melt does not contribute directly to sea level?
Sea ice is already in the water, so melting it doesn't affect sea levels.
What are the effects of icebergs melting?
Icebergs melting adds fresh water to the oceans. Icebergs are floating already, so when they melt they do not cause a rise in sea levels. Glaciers and land ice, like the Greenland ice-cap, and any ice on Antarctica, do cause a rise in sea levels when they melt.
How does Antarctica's melting ice affect global sea levels?
Antarctica's melting ice will flow into the sea. This will raise sea levels around the world. There is enough ice on Antarctica to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
Why are polar bears a cause of global warming?
Polar bears are not a cause of global warming. They are being affected by climate change in that their habitat is decreasing in size (as the sea ice is melting).
What are the reasons for the melting of glacial ice and why the sea level rises?
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
