The water at the south pole is not melting till now. But the melting water from the north pole will elevate the ocean water and then we are flooded near the coasts.

What happens to temperature as you travel from equator to the north pole?
No. The South Pole is colder than the North Pole. this is because the South Pole sits amidst the large ice and land mass known as the Antarctic, whilst the North Pole is merely a floating ice shelf, and therefore several degrees warmer throughout the seasons.
What is copper's state of matter?
Copper's state of matter is naturally a solid. But it can melt, and boil.
During an ice age what is likely to happen to the levels of oceans around the world?
they would rise because the ice being created will have more mass... so if global warming happens the sea level will stay approximately the same because although the north/south poles will lose mass places like greenland etc will melt their ice and the ice caps melting will be cancelled out.
How will climmete change effect us?
climate change will heat up our atmosphere and we could one day die. If all the ice in the north and south parts of the world melt, we could drown... Hope this helped and didnt worry you, it is unlikely to happen
What are glacier and polar ice caps?
this means that the polar bears habitat is melting because of global warming and climate change. other ways: the ice is melting because of climate change and global warming this means that polar bears are being extinct.
Why do poles not melt?
The North Pole and the South Pole are just places. They have a lot of ice, and the ice is melting, faster in some places than in others. So the Polar Regions do melt, but they haven't completely melted yet.
When will the north and south pole melt?
In about 600 years possibly
What is a natural effect of global warming?
There are many natural effects of global warming. One of these effects is that ice caps melt in the north and south poles. they melt a little bit more each day, and if you add all that melting up in a year, or even 6 monthes, that is a lot of melting!
What are the environmental changes since 1900s to 2007?
The climate has become more erratic. Ice continues to melt at the north and south poles. The earth continues towards global warming. More and more greenhouse gases have been put into the atmosphere.
Would the Dominican Republic be underwater if the poles melted?
The poles are imaginay points, and can't melt. If the pollar ice caps were to melt, it probably would not be enough to put all of the Dominican Republic under the sea, since the country includes a serious range of mountains that separates it from Haiti. The islands of the south Pacific are another matter. Over there, they've been seeing it happen for years now, and they don't have that much left to go.
Why are islands going under already?
Global warming is making the ice melt at the North and South Poles. All this ice will make the sea level rise, so low flat islands, like some in the Pacific Ocean, will become uninhabitable.

What would happen if the US sent two nuclear bombs to the north and south poles?
Depending on the strength of the warheads of the nuclear bombs, they would melt a considerable amount of ice and put radiation into the atmosphere. However, the damage would be mostly local and unnoticed.
Why causes the water level rise when Into the bath?
because the ice at north and south pole has melt
Which glacier can be found over Antarctica and the North Pole?
No, ice covers both poles. The equator between them would melt any connection between the two polar climates.
Why does warm ocean water near the equator not melt the earths poles when it travels to the poles?
because it gets cold on the way.
When ice cube in the poles of earth melt does it effect the rotation of earth?
no
