The level of sea and ocean waters on Terra will be increased.
What will happen:
- there would probably be no polar bears because grizzly bears would move further North. Grizzly bears have already begin moving North causing polar bear hybrids.
- There has been a 40% reduction of ice since 1970, so this is a problem for the species that live in the Arctic.

The elevation of Greenland itself would rise, an immediate lift, and then a long continual lift over the course of thousands of years due to isostatic rebound, the rebounding of the land after large masses are removed from it.
There would be no snow and it will be green.
Perhaps, although it can be noted that the ice sheet is not expected to melt away.

What would happen to the land buried under the ice sheet if the ice melted?
It would flood
What would happen to the coastal areas if the polar ice caps melted?
They'd flood.
What would happen in New York state if all the polar ice melted?
If all the ice melted in the North Polar regions, there would be no rise in sea levels, because Arctic ice is in the water already.If all the ice melted in the South Polar regions, in Antarctica, then sea levels around the world would rise 70 metres, or 230 feet. Every coastal city round the world would be flooded, including New York State.
What might happen to coastal cities if the ice caps melted?
They'd be flooded or even completely submerged.
What if all the ice on Greenland and Antarctica melted?
This is only a hypothetical, since it is generally agreed by even the most pessimistic scientists that this ice cap will not melt in our lifetimes. If it did happen, then sea levels would rise by several meters and we would have to abandon many of our coastal cities and productive coastal farmland. A more realistic possibility is that the Greenland ice caps would melt, raising sea levels by a lesser amount.
What might happen to sea level if all the water in earth glaciers were suddenly released?
The sea level would rise more than 60 metres if all the world's ice, Greenland, Antarctica and all the glaciers, melted.
Why is Greenland names Greenland when it is covered in ice?
because when it has no ice its all green
Do thunderstorms happen in Greenland?
Thunderstorms happen in Greenland occasionally. This is usually during summer when the ice sheets are being broken down which will cause turbulence.
Which countries are covered in ice all year?
Greenland is mostly covered by an ice sheet.
What will happen when all the ice bergs melt?
The Greenland Ice Sheet holds almost 3 million cubic kilometres of ice (684,00 cubic miles). If it all melted sea levels all over the world would rise by 7.2 metres (24 feet). Greenland will also rise up, because of the great weight of ice removed. This is called isostatic rebound.
What would happen to the land buried under the ice if the ice sheets melted?
It would flood

Is Greenland all ice?
No, not all parts of Greenland. Along the coast would be less icy.

Is Greenland ice or grass?
Ice, its funny because iceland is all trees and stuff.
How did the warming of earth change the lives of early people?
well all the ice melted so that would of melted the ice ... talk about tsunami
