The ice in ice caps is all water. Add that to sea water and the sea will be come more dilute. If you add ice cubes to your Pepsi, it too will be come dilute.

What are the effects of the Ice Melting?
Melting of ice will cause more waters to be produced in some oceans and seas.If the ice caps melt then that will make the global eco-system out of balance. The ice caps are fresh water and when they melt they go into the ocean which makes it less salty. The gulf current will screw up ocean currents, which regulate temperatures.
What problems will polar bears have in the future?
Due to the melting of polar ice caps, where they live, there habitats are being destroyed and they are ending up in the ocean.
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 are some slogans for polar ice caps melting?
i am melting can you see me ?
