What happens when the ice caps melt?

Answer 1

when the ice caps melt the sea levels will rise and flood some coastal areas of the world and the animals that live there may become extinct.

Not entirely, due to the evaporation process. Yes, it will condensate, but that will dry out as there isn't enough water to support it. So yes, it will flood some, but the floods would stop due to evaporation.

Answer 2

Because the Greenland ice shelf is over land and not floating over water, melting it would result in a significant increase in sea levels world wide. Also, the darker soil would lead to higher temperatures than if it were covered in ice and snow.

Answer 3

Melting ice caps contribute to rising sea levels, leading to increased flooding and coastal erosion. It also disrupts ecosystems, affects wildlife habitats, and can have ripple effects on global climate patterns. Additionally, the release of trapped methane gas from melting ice can further accelerate climate change.

Answer 4

When Ice melts the water molecules gain more energy, inhibiting their ability to maintain their shape. So they fall apart and become a liquid.

Answer 5

When glaciers melt, it just makes more water. This means that if a glacier melts, the water can get "deeper" or there's more water that can evaporate.

Answer 6

The wind blows that cool air. The wind then brings it to the Tropical Region. And the people living there feels cool. Because icebergs are already floating, there is no change in sea-levels.

Answer 7

the water level rises or elevation rises.
