Why is the North Pole a piece of floating ice?

The North Pole is situated in the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature is never warm enough to melt the thick sea ice that freezes much of the year.


What will everything look like if you don't stop global warming?

There will be more droughts, floods, and other natual disaters, sea level will rise.Because the ice of the arctic and the Antarctic will melt


Why does the epsom salt melt the ice the slowest?

What will happen if the arctic melts vs if the antarctic melts?

The Antarctic ice could not conceivably melt entirely within the next few thousand years, because it is so large. In fact, only the small Antarctic Peninsula, to the south of South America, seems to have been noticeably affected by recent global warming. The arctic sea ice is melting, but melting sea ice does not really affect sea levels. The worst that could happen here is the extinction of the polar bear, and perhaps changing weather conditions in some parts of the northern hemisphere. Since sea ice is reflective, it has a cooling effect, so the loss of sea ice can also contribute to global warming. As the ice shelves and glaciers of the arctic region melt, sea levels will rise, as they have already begun to do.

Why should the water level in sea increases when the icecap melts?

Ice caps and glaciers rest on land, so when they melt, the water goes into the ocean, as opposed to sea ice (Arctic) and icebergs.


Is Antarctica the only ice desert?

Yes, the Antarctic Desert is a true ice (or polar) desert. Those parts of the Arctic that occur on land are better described as tundra. Much of the Arctic is either open sea or frozen sea ice.

Where is the Arctic Desert?

Actually, the Arctic is not really a desert. Most of it is sea ice and those parts that do occur on land are tundra which is a distinctly different biome. The Antarctic is a true desert, however.


What is the clothing in the Arctic Desert?
