How do icebergs effect the earth and humans?

Icebergs play a role in regulating Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight and cooling the surrounding area. However, as icebergs melt due to climate change, they contribute to rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding and erosion and impact human communities. Additionally, icebergs can pose hazards to navigation in certain regions.


Does Australia have icebergs?

Australia does not have icebergs. Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers and float in cold oceans near the poles, primarily in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Australia's climate is too warm for icebergs to form.


Will the melting of icebergs flood your coast?

The melting of icebergs themselves will not directly flood coastal areas as they are already in the water. However, the melting of icebergs and glaciers contributes to rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal flooding and erosion over time.
