How much precipitation do the polar ice caps get?
So the polar ice cap gets 25 cm of rain every year.
How many miles is the polar ice caps?
The thickness of the polar ice caps can vary, with the average thickness being around 6,600 feet (2,000 meters) at the North Pole and around 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) at the South Pole. So if you were to measure the distance across the polar ice caps from one end to the other, it would be thousands of miles.
What are glacier and polar ice caps?
this means that the polar bears habitat is melting because of global warming and climate change. other ways: the ice is melting because of climate change and global warming this means that polar bears are being extinct.
Meeting of polar ice-caps due to global warming?
Global warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt, resulting in a reduction of their mass and volume. As a consequence, the meeting of polar ice caps can lead to rising sea levels worldwide, which poses a significant threat to coastal communities and ecosystems. This phenomenon is a clear indicator of the impact of climate change on our planet.
Why is the worlds climate so hot?
Mostly Global Warming. The polar ice caps that are melting is a great example.
Are humans responsible for polar ice caps melting?
The arctic ice caps are melting because of global warming. The strong consensus of climate scientists is that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, and deforestation, are responsible for gloabal warming. So, yes, humans are responsible for polar ice caps melting.
What planet has polar ice caps of water and carbon dioxide?
Technically no planets are like Earth because the other planets don't have soil and water, but also, Mars is partially like Earth because astronauts have found ice on Mars, so that means that there was water on Mars.
Is the polar bear natural habitat threatened by natural or man made forces?
Yes, because the pollution is melting the polar ice caps, so it's getting flooded
What causes the polar seas to have a lower salinity?
GIVEN: salinity refers to the amount of salt in a liquid (usually water). salt water does not freeze into salt ice. SO: As the polar ice caps melt, they release fresh water into the ocean leaving less salt PPM (parts per million) in the water around the polar ice caps. BECAUSE: Since it takes time for the salinity to equalize through a mixture (the ocean), there will always be a lower concentration of salt in the waters around the polar ice caps when compared to areas of the ocean that are farther away and nearer the equator.
What do people think is making polar ice caps melt?
because of the effect of global warming. the temperature of the earth increases therefore melts the polar caps. The Arctic has seen some ice loss, although we have also seen record growth as of late. The Antarctic is still growing in terms of ice and according to the IPCC report, it is expected to keep doing so for many decades to come.
How can the current melting of polar ice caps impact the climate system?
It will raise sea levels an cause potential flooding. Also it's leaving less space for the animals that live on the polar caps, which could cause extinction. And lastly, ice caps are fresh water, dumping into salt water so it could also kill many fish by lowering the salt in the surrounding area.
Is the grizzly bear nearly extinct?
No way - you might be thinking of the Polar Bear, which because of Global Warming their habitat for hunting is disappearing as the polar ice caps are melting faster - so let's start a campaign to SAVE THE POLAR BEAR!
