because of the effect of global warming. the temperature of the earth increases therefore melts the polar caps.
The Arctic has seen some ice loss, although we have also seen record growth as of late. The Antarctic is still growing in terms of ice and according to the IPCC report, it is expected to keep doing so for many decades to come.
What else can I help you with?
Are the polar ice caps in the arctic?
Yes, the polar ice caps are in the Arctic region at the North Pole. These ice caps are important for regulating global climate and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the Earth's ecosystem.
How will global warming effect polar ice caps?
Global warming is causing polar ice caps to melt at an accelerated rate, leading to rising sea levels and loss of habitat for polar animals such as polar bears and penguins. The melting ice caps also contribute to further warming as the reflective surface is replaced by dark ocean water that absorbs more heat from the sun.
How many polar ice caps does earth have?
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
Could artificial snow be used to replinish our melting polar ice caps?
I had a similar idea with recycled plastic used to make large sheets to extend the polar ice caps back to what they were 30 years ago. I'm with you. Reflects the sun the same. Returns the climate to 30 years ago. Should even make it snow, in theory & bring back the natural snow where it should be. I think it is about the science of light reflection's effect on climate. Artificial polar ice caps.
What is another name for ice at the poles?
Another name for ice at the poles is polar ice or polar ice caps.
Why do people think polar bears are endangered species?
because they are. Global warming is destroying the polar caps in Antarctica and in the north polar area. There is no evidence to support the theory of melting ice caps, in fact, latest evidence show they were largest this winter since 1979. The polar bear is not an endangered species.See source below.

Does Uranus have polar caps?
No. Uranus does not have a solid surface for the caps to be on. Earth and Mars have polar ice caps.
Are polar ice caps freshwater?
yes polar ice caps are freshwater
What is sometimes observed in the polar areas of mars and what do scientists think this is?
White polar caps. Frozen carbon dioxide and water ice.
Do humans live in the polar ice caps?
no, they don't live in polar ice caps.
Does Neptune have polar caps?
Yes, Neptune does have polar caps. Like Earth and other planets with atmospheres, Neptune's polar regions have icy caps composed of a mixture of water, ammonia, and methane ice. These polar caps experience seasonal variations as Neptune orbits the Sun.
Polar Bears do not live in Alberta Discuss which 2 basic needs of a polar bear cannot be met in Alberta?
I'm not sure, but I think Alberta isn't cold enough for the polar bears. Also, there might not be enough ice caps in Alberta for the polar bears to live off of. People talk about how the polar bears are struggling to survive because global warming is melting all their ice caps. Many times, if there aren't enough ice caps, the bears can't find food or survive.
Which three planets have polar ice caps?
Mars, Earth, and Pluto have polar ice caps. Mars' polar ice caps are primarily made of water and carbon dioxide ice, Earth's polar ice caps are primarily made of frozen water, and Pluto's polar ice caps are a mixture of methane and nitrogen ice.
Who is affected by climate change?
Animals, people living in polar ice caps, Ect.
Do people live in the polar ice caps?
people don't live on the polar ice cap but they do, do research on the caps.
Does it rain in the polar ice caps?
Rain on the polar ice caps? Probably not; snow would be more common.
Why are the polar ice caps being damaged?
Global warming is melting the polar ice caps and they are slowly disappearing.
