What else can I help you with?
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).
Where will you live when Antarctica melts?
If Antarctica melts then all coastal cities will be submerged to a depth of 60 metres (200 feet). People will move to higher ground and live much more simply than before.
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.
If antarctica melts how does that effect England?
If Antarctica melts, it could contribute to sea level rise globally, leading to increased flooding in coastal areas, including parts of England. The melting ice could also disrupt ocean currents, potentially impacting the climate in England and beyond.
What will the future of Antarctica look like?
2056 it will be all gone and melted the sea level will rise 60m
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.
Why is antarctica important to aglobla warming?
Almost all of Antarctica is covered by ice, so it's greatly affected by a global rise in temperatures. When this ice melts and glaciers collapse, sea levels all over the world rise.
Why do the ice shelves melt in summer in Antarctica?
Melting of Antarctica's ice shelves occurs underwater, based on warming ocean water. which melts the shelves from underneath. This phenomenon occurs all year and is not limited to summer.
What are the human pressures being put on antarctica?
Polution ----> Factories create warmer gases that travels around the Earth so unfortunately it reaches Antarctica, and slowly melts all of the ice. So basically it's Global warming! :) hope this helps
What month is spring in Antarctica?
Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, like all southern hemisphere countries and locations, Antarctica will experience spring in September and October.
Will polars bears die out if antarctica melts?
Unless scientists have validated that if and when Antarctica melts, the rise in the ocean levels will flood all of the earth, then no all of the animals will not die. There are many species that naturally will move to higher ground as a matter of their natural routine, others will adapt and instinct may drive them to higher ground.Animals also include fish, so unless the ice contains harmful toxins that can kill fish, fish and water mammals will survive.
How is the study of Antarctica useful to us?
The study of Antarctica is useful tous because the more we know about antarctica, the better we can protect it. We can also look for new species of plants and animals
