What happens after the ice caps melt?
If the ice caps were to melt completely, sea levels would rise significantly, leading to coastal flooding, erosion, and displacement of communities. This would also disrupt ecosystems, impact global weather patterns, and contribute further to climate change. Efforts to mitigate and adapt to these changes are crucial to address the impacts of melting ice caps.
Why does the melting of the ice caps lower the concentration of salt in the ocean?
The ice caps are made of freshwater.
What are some slogans for polar ice caps melting?
"Save the poles, save our world." "Melt your heart, not the ice caps." "Don't let our poles disappear." "Urgent action needed to protect the ice caps."

What causes polar ice to melt?
