If the Antarctic ice sheet melted due to global warming how far would the sea level rise?

61.1 metres (200 feet).
According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, the ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents 61.1 metres (200 feet) of sea-level change. The ice contained within Greenland Ice Sheet represents a sea-level rise equivalent of 7.2 metres.

∙ 9y agoThe Ice Sheet covering Antarctica consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice.
This ice covers Antarctica to an average thickness of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). If all the Antarctic ice melted, because all this ice is on land, it would raise sea levels around the world by about 61 meters (200 feet).
Of course this is an estimate, however, the chances of such a meltdown have not been predicted, nor, in the opinion of many scientists it will not happen for quite a long time. Too long to even guess.

What will global warming do to the earth and how will it effect the antarctic from way over here?
The global warming will melt all ice on Earth and the water level will rise for 50-100 meters, but that will happend in about 100 years
How does global warming affect cyclones?
Due to global warming the rainfall pattern changes, sea level rises as the glacier melts. This whole thing results in more cyclones and hurricanes.
Which gas in the atmosphere Global warming focuses on an increase in the level of heat?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and also Methane.
Global warming has been proven to be directly linked with sea level rising through?
Melting icecaps and glaciers.
How can global warming lead to the flooding of low-lying areas?
global warming is a threatening problem in the world. As the plants are affected by the global warming the roots which hold the soil will be affected. at the same time climate will be changed. thus even very little amount rain can cause the flood.

Does global warming affect snow?
yes, bcoz global warming cause in increasing pressre and this increased pressure help in melting snow nd the melted snow go to sea nd increase it level also.
What is currently happening to global sea level why?
global warming!
How can people damage the antarctic environment?
the polar caps are melting due to global warming. this increases water level and causes am imbalance in the ecosystem there. global warming is when the world starts getting warmer. this occurs because of greenhouse effect which is caused by gases emitted by factories and cars
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
What is the effect of global warming on coastal areas?
In so far as global warming will decrease the amounts of polar ice, that melted water does result in a higher Sea Level. National Geographic June 2011 - Earth 56 million years ago - Sea Levels 225 feet higher than now.
How does seawater greenhouse affect land?
Green house gases course for global warming. Global warming causes increasing of sea level.
What are the reasons for the melting of glacial ice and why the sea level rises?
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
What are three global warming might affect the water cycle?
Global warming increases temperature.Water level rises up.Amount of water in atmosphere is affected.
What are three ways global warming might affect the water?
Global warming increases temperature.Water level rises up.Amount of water in atmosphere is affected.
