The Ice Sheet covering Antarctica consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice.
This ice covers Antarctica to an average thickness of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). If all the Antarctic ice melted, because all this ice is on land, it would raise sea levels around the world by about 61 meters (200 feet).
A:According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, the ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents 61.1 metres (200 feet) of sea-level change.

What is a melted ice cap?
An ice cap is an ice mass that covers less than 50 000 km² of land area (usually covering a highland area), so a melted ice cap is literally just one that has melted, and the high volume of water causes floods.
What are some animals in the Antarctic ice caps?
No animals live permanently on the Antarctic continent or in its polar ice cap.
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
Is there fresh water in the Antarctic?
Yes.Most of the Antarctic continent is covered in frozen fresh water. It forms the polar ice cap.
What was an explanation for how the Paleozoic ice cap melted?
During the Paleozoic era, the ice cap melted due to a combination of factors such as increased volcanic activity releasing greenhouse gases, changes in Earth's orbit and tilt affecting sunlight distribution, and decreased weathering of rocks consuming CO2. These factors led to a warming climate, resulting in the retreat of the Paleozoic ice cap.
What does the w on the end cap of a softball bat mean?
Well first off, your question is very vague. My question is, is this "w" a logo type molding or is it melted into the end cap? If you have a Miken bat with a W melted into the end cap, then it is a NR bat. (Non-returnable).
What is the name of the deep crack in antarctic ice cap?
Crevasse not to be confused with crevice
Is Antarctica a icecap?
There is a polar ice cap covering about 98% of the Antarctic continent.
What is the Antarctic ice cap?
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 98% of the continent, contains about 90% of earth's ice and 70% of the earth's fresh water.
What is the Antarctic ice cap made of?
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
Where is the antarctic ice cap?
The ice sheet you're thinking of covers 98% of the continent.
How did the paleozoic supercontinent ice cap melt?
The Paleozoic supercontinent ice cap melted due to natural climate changes that led to a warming of the Earth's temperature. This warming caused the ice to melt gradually over time, resulting in the retreat of the ice cap and the formation of new landscapes and habitats.
