Melting glaciers are associated with elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, hence, the oceans become more acidic.

What two things could you observe when glaciers melt?
When glaciers melt, ocean levels rise and cause continent land mass to decrease. This could also cause volcanoes under glaciers to be exposed and possibly erupt.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
Is there any water in Svalbard?
Svalbard is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There is plenty of running water in the summer with melt streams from glaciers and melting snow.
What does glaciers melt?
Global warming
Can acidic water cause glaciers to melt?
Water can speed up the rate at which glaciers melt. Whether the water is acidic or not has no effect.
How did the growth of glaciers affect water level in the oceans?
when glacier runs into the ocean it causes the water level to rise. just like when we add ice cubes to a glass of water. but when the icebergs melts water level remains the same. like when the ice cubes melt in a glass of water. it does not increase the amount of water in the glass. global warming is causing glaciers to run into the ocean causing water level to rise.

Can glaciers freeze in the winter and melt completely every summer?
I think that glaciers don't melt in the summer because glaciers form where it's cold like year long so it would be cold in the summer too. In cold weather ice doesn't melt.
