The major amount of human activities contribute to Antarctica's global warming. They add excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Green house gases pile up in the atmosphere and capture the heat that would, in a normal manner, escape into outer space.

What will melt because of global warming?
Ice will melt due to Global Warming.....Arctic sea ice (the habitat of polar bears)Antarctic land ice (raising sea levels)Mountain glaciers (cutting off the year round water feed for great rivers).
What are facts about Antarctica and global warming?
The average annual temperature at the centre of Antarctica is -57C (-70F), so any warming there is difficult to measure.Antarctica seems to be warming at the edges and cooling in the middle.Most warming is along the Antarctic Peninsula, where the glaciers that used to move down onto the ocean floor are melting underneath, forming ice shelves which are breaking off.
How is global warming affecting water levels and water supplies?
Global warming is causing ice to melt in glaciers and ice caps. The warming is also expanding ocean water. This is causing sea levels to rise more than usual. Global warming will not affect water supplies, as there is a fixed amount of water on earth, but it may affect their location. Some areas will become drier and others will become wetter. If all the Himalayan glaciers melt, then the great rivers of Asia, like the Ganges and the Mekong, will become much smaller. This will bring water supply problems to many Asian countries.
How will glaciers and icebergs be affected by global warming?
Global warming is causing glaciers to retreat and icebergs to break off more frequently and in larger sizes. As temperatures rise, glaciers melt at a faster rate, leading to rising sea levels and disrupting ecosystems. The increased melting of icebergs can also impact ocean currents and marine habitats.
How is the greenhouse effect and global warming affecting the planet?
The greenhouse effect is causing Earth's temperature to rise, leading to global warming. This is resulting in more extreme weather patterns, melting ice caps and glaciers, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems and wildlife. It also contributes to ocean acidification and other negative effects on the environment.
What do glaciers and global warming have in common?
Global warming is causing the glaciers to disappear. This is how they are connected.
How is global warming affecting flooding?
Global warming is melting glaciers and ice caps. The ocean waters are also warming and expanding. Both of these mean that sea levels are rising, predicted to flood low-lying countries and cities.
What does glaciers melt?
Global warming
What is global warming doing?
Global warming is melting the glaciers throughout the earth's surface.
How is global warming affecting Canada's north tundra?
How is global warming affecting canada's north tundra?
How is global Warming Affecting Penguins Polar Bears and Us?
Global warming can melt the arctic and antarctic ice caps causing polar bears and antarctic penguins to have less place to live, if the ice melted, sea levels will rise and areas will be flooded and we will have fewer places to live.
Can global warming affect glaciers?
yes
What will happen to glaciers if there is global warming?
they will melt
Is Global warming affecting canadians?
It's called global warming for a reason...
What is causing the earth's glaciers to melt?
Global warming.
What happens to glaciers because of global warming?
They melt!
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
