Directly it does not, because melting sea ice does not contribute to sea level rise (it is already in the ocean displacing the water). However, it tends to generate positive feedbacks that further warm the atmosphere, melting more ice that is on land which will raise sea level.

How do humans affect the arctic tundra?

Humans affect the arctic tundra through activities like oil and gas exploration, mining, and habitat destruction. Climate change, driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels, also has a significant impact on the arctic tundra by causing permafrost thaw, habitat loss, and disruptions to wildlife. Additionally, pollution from industrial activities and shipping can contaminate the delicate arctic ecosystem.


What 3 fast facts about Arctic Climate?

The Arctic is warming at twice the global average rate, leading to rapid sea ice loss and thawing permafrost. Arctic ecosystems are highly sensitive to changes in temperature, impacting biodiversity and species' habitats. The melting Arctic ice contributes to rising sea levels, affecting global climate patterns and weather systems.


How do people effect arctic tundra?

People impact Arctic tundra by activities such as oil and gas exploration, mining, and tourism, which can disrupt the fragile ecosystem, leading to habitat loss, pollution, and disturbance of wildlife. Climate change is also a significant threat to Arctic tundra as it causes permafrost melting, altering the landscape and reducing habitat availability for plant and animal species.


What do the humans do to affect the Arctic tundra?

Well, one of the answers to that question is our pollution. The smoke and carbon dioxide that is released from things such as factories and cars rise up into the atmosphere and get trapped. Usually when the Sun's heat reaches the Earth it bounces back into space to keep the climate at a comfortable temperature, but with the carbon dioxide the Sun's heat gets into the atmosphere but can't get out, so the atmosphere keeps getting hotter and hotter which is melting the ice and snow in places such as the arctic tundra. This is known as the "greenhouse effect".
